I would tell my younger self to enjoy every bit of it… to find the meaning between the notes. Marlboro clearly imparts the importance of a musical community searching tirelessly together for meaning and beauty, which is easily applicable to any dimension of life.
Most of society’s attention span is getting shorter and shorter due to technological advancements and the connectivity it brings, therefore it is hard to ask someone to sit still for a full concert. But in this dilemma, I see the very opportunity music offers to those who are ready to really connect and find meaning.
