🎶 Beyoncé Meets Beethoven: A Night of Pure Joy

Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of taking my Beyoncé-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
