Our 4 day "tourist in your own home town" started Thursday afternoon. Indianapolis is well known as a stop for many of the Jazz legends. And, because of this, we have a great music scene here in Indianapolis. We definitely wanted to bring some of the music into our romantic get away. Karen and I met at the Arts Garden for lunch. Denise Tichenor-Collins played lively Gospel Jazz music.
Lunch was food from Goose the Market. Karen asked for a vegetarian option and Corrie was able to make her a sandwich that she later referred to as her new favorite sandwich. Myself, I went for the Wygu corned beef sandwich made from cows raised up in Roanoke Indiana.
Unfortunately, we both had to return to work. But, later that evening, we met at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra for a behind the scenes tour. Tom; the executive director, led us through the history of the renovations to the present state of the orchestra. We were even taken back stage to see the inner workings of the acoustics. Even was able to peek into the music vault. Very interested and totally cool. It is amazing the little gems that are all around us.
We were able to do the tour as part of the orchestra's young professionals group, called Forte! For a small membership fee you get all kinds of perks from free tickets and drinks to special seating and networking events. This is a fantastic deal that I would recommend to anyone who is at all interested in hearing the great performances of our ISO.
