đ¶ BeyoncĂ© Meets Beethoven: A Night of Pure Joy
Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of taking my BeyoncĂ©-superfan granddaughter to the symphony at the Hilbert Circle Theatre. And let me tell you â when you combine Queen Beyâs fire with Beethovenâs thunder, itâs not just a concert⊠itâs a spiritual realignment.
The moment the orchestra struck the first notes of Halo arranged like a symphony, I glanced over at her wide-eyed face and thought, âYes â this is how we pass the torch.â One generation grew up with Beethovenâs grand crescendos; the next, with BeyoncĂ©âs unapologetic anthems. But last night, they shared the same stage â and somehow, it all made perfect sense.
Beethoven demanded that we feel; BeyoncĂ© insists that we own those feelings. He composed through silence; she performs through noise. Together, they remind us that emotion â raw, defiant, glorious â transcends time, race, and rhythm.
It was pure joy.
The kind that doesnât just fill your ears â it reboots your soul.
So today, Iâm declaring it: Music Therapy Day.
Find an artist who makes your heart pulse faster.
Beethoven or BeyoncĂ©, Billie Holiday or Bad Bunny â doesnât matter.
Blast it in your kitchen, in your car, in your heart.
Because whether itâs a symphony or a bass drop, music is how we remember who we are and why we still dance.
