I must first start off by saying that this was an overall wonderful performance. The beginning of the symphony felt mystical. The guest pianist, Misha Dichter really made a grand opening as he played each key of the piano with boldness. He led the orchestra as the piano and other instruments collided in such a sweet way. The music started moderate and gradually picked up towards the middle and ending of the orchestra. What I truly enjoyed the most was the violin’s playing along with the drums. These two instruments paired together well and created the overall sound of music playing as well as the other instruments like the harp which sounded more subtle and soft.
My overall experience was fantastic. I loved each piece that was played by the symphony orchestra. The guest artist, Misha Dichter who played the piano was very talented and helped in bringing each musical piece together. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT!

An example of B-flat Major that was being performed the night of the symphone. The string of instruments is very delicate and sharp.

"No one can whistle a symphony alone - it takes a whole orchestra to play it."

"Have you seen a symphony orchestra? There is a person at the back carrying a triangle. Now and again the conductor will point to him or her and that person will play "ting". That might seem so insignificant, but in the conception of the composer that something irreplaceable would be lost to the total beauty of the symphony if that "ting" did not happen."

~ Desmond Tutu

"My soul is a hidden orchestra; I know not what instruments, what fiddlestrings and harps, drums and tamboura I sound and clash inside myself. All I hear is the symphony."
