On the Friday before Mother's Day, Dan took me out for a wonderful date.
First we went to this concert from the Detroit Symphony Orchestra:
Mahler's Resurrection
Friday, May 11 at 8:00 AM
An extraordinarily passionate vision of life, death and resurrection, Mahler’s electrifying symphony closes with one of the most exhilarating conclusions in all of music.
Artists
Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, conductor
Dominique Labelle , soprano
Sara Mingardo , mezzo soprano
UMS Choral Union , chorus
Program

The soprano was ill, so they got a last minute replacement. I did not catch her name, but it sounded Russian, she was very young, and she had the voice and face of an angel. Dan and I both thought that Sara Mingardo had the most beautiful voice either of us had ever heard. It was deep and rich, and as delicious as spiced hot chocolate. The orchestra, as always, played with passion and fire. I love the DSO!!!
After the concert, we headed to one of my favorite restaurants in the Greektown area of Detroit, the Pegasus Taverna, for a light dinner. The food was delicious and the service, as usual, was very good.
The night itself was glorious. It was cool and clear - perfect for running around outside. The Red Wings had a home playoff game, and they won, so Detroit was awash in a sea of happy people.
It was a romantic and beautiful evening!
