I had a date on Thursday night and he took me to the Meyerson Symphony because I had never actually gone before. He told me that the FREE symphony performances in parks in the summer doesn't count. He was right!
Random thoughts throughout the night....
- There was only ONE piccolo - I love the look and the name of the PICCOLO
- The conductor was cracking me up - He gets very into it!!!!
- NO clapping allowed until the end... I asked my date if I could hoot and hollar like Julia Roberts did in Pretty Woman while they were at the polo match. I was told no.
- The percussion guys kept leaving throughout the performance. I said that they must needed to go to the bathroom alot. I was informed that was probably not the case, but rather they were playing instruments off the stage. I am still thinking that they went to the bathroom.... Jus saying.
- One of the percussion guys used a large mallet to make a big gong sound. It made me think of going to the carnival and getting the mallet and slamming on the bell to see how strong I am.
- There were a lot of stairs and I am a clutz. I was being extra careful b/c I stupidly thought I should wear my 4 inch awesome gray heals, but I hated them going down the stairs after the performance.
- There were a lot of people that attend the symphony.
- I could see myself attending the symphony more. I really enjoyed it.
It was a Gustav Mahler performance, Symphony No. 6 in A minor ("Tragic")
