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 — when you combine Queen Bey’s fire with Beethoven’s thunder, it’s not just a concert
 it’s 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, “Yes — this is how we pass the torch.” One generation grew up with Beethoven’s grand crescendos; the next, with Beyoncé’s unapologetic anthems. But last night, they shared the same stage — 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 — raw, defiant, glorious — transcends time, race, and rhythm.

It was pure joy.

The kind that doesn’t just fill your ears — it reboots your soul.

So today, I’m declaring it: Music Therapy Day.

Find an artist who makes your heart pulse faster.

Beethoven or BeyoncĂ©, Billie Holiday or Bad Bunny — doesn’t matter.

Blast it in your kitchen, in your car, in your heart.

Because whether it’s a symphony or a bass drop, music is how we remember who we are and why we still dance.
