Ok, so tonight I went to the closing event of the
Symphony of the Americas' Summerfest Festival, a joined event with the
Reményi Ede Chamber Orchestra , with
James Brooks-Bruzzese as guest Conductor. The program consisted in
Mozart's playful
"Divertimento K. 136",
Bocherinni's beautiful but rarely performed
"Sinfonia No. 6 in D minor.Op. 12/4"-(I LOVED it!)-
Piazzolla's "Contrabajeando for String Orchestra" and
"Libertango for String Orchestra", both arranged by
Ricardo Roel-(not my favorite pieces of the night...never been a fan of tangos...)-and to close a "piece by
Aaron Copland"-(in the conductor's words, and correctly identified by me to my friend as
"Rodeo"!
). I prepared myself all fancy and everything, and when I got there, I realized that the concert was to be held in an amphitheater, so I ended up down on the grass enjoying Mozart while digesting quite a few pieces of spicy chicken wings...!-(not too glamorous, I know...
).
Anyway..I had a great time.
