Évaluation du lieu : 4 North Loop, Minneapolis, MN
I can see the dome of the Baroque Basilica from my apartment. Saturday morning I walked the mile to explore the Basilica. I arrived at 2.05pm to the sound of Beethoven’s piano concerto #4 in g major, opus 58. Free entry. Donations appreciated… WOW! A building built by people with faith for celebration and giving thanks, artists who’s skills must take years of dedication, and an audience of everyone and anyone. Truly humanity at it’s absolute best. I took a pew. A man who looked homeless slept in a pew nearby. A child in a red satin dress decorated with a large velvet bow tugged at her fathers arm as they took their seats. People dressed-up for this special pccassion, tourists, rich people, poor people. I closed my eyes and let the music run round my mind. I donated more than I would have paid for a classical concert, BECAUSE this was free. Because this was about sharing. I can’t judge the quality of the music as a connoisseur. I can judge the quality of the event. Superb, feeding the heart of the community, people. Fantastic .
