1st time at MN Orchestra Hall
Mar. 27th, 2011 11:20 pmYesterday, my girlfriends and I went to the Orchestra Hall to listen to M.Ravel. Before the show we went to eat at a Tai restaurant and then went to the concert.
It was an unusual performance because the whole 1st part they discussed the music of end of 19th century and beginning of 20th which was very interesting. The host was very funny in the way he discussed the music , only he irritated us a little because he didn’t allow the orchestra to play full music pieces that we wanted to listen to. He did finally allow us to listen to a very beautiful Straus’ Valtz.
The 2nd half was pure music. 3 full pieces by Ravel. It was my first time listening to the music at the Minnesota Orchestra Hall. I have been there once for my graduation ceremony but this time it was actual orchestra concert. I loved it. I would love to go back again and again. Live music is so powerful!!! It was however difficult to seat and listen instead of dancing to some pieces. I was dancing in my seat with my head and my feet.
