• I had a third row seat on the night of the concert, still in the shadows while able to watch Carmen perform. She was dressed in a beautiful long black dress, the lights shimmering over her raven-colored hair.

Tonight, everything was different, an allowance to move into another world altogether. The quiet reverence as her fingers moved nimbly, the passion she exuded shining in every note she played was simply remarkable.
