It was opening night at the Symphony last night and I accompanied Julie and Dave (Scottsdale Daily Photo & Tamarindo Costa Rica Daily Photo) to the event. Dave is on the board for the symphony so the event included a special reception before the performance. They did a spectacular job with Beethoven's Symphony No 9 with the very impressive help of the Phoenix Symphony Chorus. It was fantastic. So fantastic that it prompted at least an 8 minute standing ovation.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns. This time I reach back to 1986.
It was a spectacular concert, and I am glad that you could join us.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fitting start to another great season for the Phoenix Symphony. Next weekend is a concert conducted by John Williams, with special guest Steven Spielberg (who grew up in Scottsdale.)
Sounds, and looks, like an amazing occasion!
ReplyDeleteYes, sounds like a wonderful time. And free wine? Nice!

ReplyDeleteSorry I missed this event, It sounds fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! It is so nice to know that such concerts take place to share the beauty of music,
ReplyDeleteThe theater still looks the same.
ReplyDeleteThe symphony plays in a fairly modern hall. They performed quite a crowd-pleaser to open the season.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a memorable evening with good music. Bet the acoustics are good!
