So, anyone been to some good concerts recently? Doesn't matter if in the audience or the orchestra. Tonight I went to hear " The Young Mozart", a program put together by the local chamber orchestra. They played: W.A. MozartSymphony No. 1, KV.16 Violin Concerto No. 1, K.207 Franz SchubertSymphony No. 5, D.485 It was brilliant!

I played in a concert not too long ago. I was in the band section so we played 4 band songs. It was the most fun I have had playing. We may have messed up on some songs, but by golly, our finally sond was flawless. It was my favorite song. It may be on You Tube, I am not sure.

Saw Le Nozze di Figaro at the Opera Lyra Ottawa. It was o-k. Singing was good, set was kinda dumb.
Saturday I'm going to see Pagliacci and Rusico Cavalerro at the movie theatres; it's not the live at the Met series, it's a different one whose name eludes me...

I recently went to this really cool concert with this Finnish symphony orchestra. They had this really modern concerto for accordion that their composer-in-residence composed ... I, uh, it was kind of funny musically and just bizarre and really long, but an altogether interesting experience.

Whoa Kel, nice one. What is the name of your orchestra?
Seriously, I wish someone over here would play the 5th symphony soon. I've been listening to it tons, especially the two last movements. I might get bored during the slow movement of a piece and then in some cases it might continue into the 3rd/4th movement but with this particular symphony... it's like I can't get enough.
On Saturday I'll be going to see the local music teachers' concert at the local concert hall, Værket. It'll be great because I know two violin teachers who work there, no idea what they're playing yet though.

A lot of the local teachers here actually play in the PCP Orchestra so I get a chance to play with them. Its awesome, they teach me a lot.
