BSO



Tuesday Catherine and I went to the Symphony together and had our hair blown way, way back. Burgos was guest conducting the Iberia Suite (loved it), Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 1 with Hilary Hahn (amazing), and Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade. The entire program start to finish was captivating and felt like an serious indulgence. I haven't heard a concert/performance like this in a long time and gosh did it give me an incredible high. During the Scheherazade I sat on the edge of my seat with my eyes wide and mouth open. Everything the orchestra played was crystal clear, the energy was high, the solo features were near perfection, and I'm getting goosebumps now as I'm recalling the memory of the night.
