I was treated to an evening of music and friends on Saturday night. It was The Phoenix Symphony Gala and my friend Julie was the co-chair of the event. She invited me and other friends to join her at her table. Before the gala dinner, we saw the symphony perform the music of Danny Elfman.
And then, Danny Elfman himself came out to sing a few of his songs from some of those famous Tim Burton movies.
My friend Julie snapped the photo to the left.
After the performance, everyone walked across the street to the Hyatt Hotel for the festive dinner. I snapped this photo of our table just as a red spotlight swung by and made that candelabra centerpiece glow.
I think I had only seen one of the movies featured in the concert but the music played by our symphony members was so good I enjoyed it all. I wish I could share a video of the pixie-like violinist who performed one of the songs. Her name is Sandy Cameron and she was fabulous. Check the link to her bio and you can see a photo of her leaping into the air with her violin.
