today.. was AMAZING!!! i swear it was.. went to windsor symphony.. omg.. so good..

alrite.. at first.. i thought windsor symphony.. can't be any good.. rite? i mean in comparison to tso?? i mean tso is world reknowed.. and wut not.. but wso.. is just as good.. well not really.. but they're pretty good.. for the size that they are..

tonites perfomance was

Brent Lee - voca me cum benedictis (World Premiere)

Rachmaninov- Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

Berlioz- Symphonie fantastique


and the cool thing was.. well there were 2 cool things.. one.. 3rd movement of berlioz.. beautiful.. absolutely amazing.. english horn and oboe duet solo thing.. amazing..
2nd cool thing.. brent lee.. well actually dr.brent lee... he's my theory prof.. which is really cool.. cuz i've never met anyone who's composed an orchestral piece and had it performed by a symphony before.. amazing.. so kewl.. anyhow.. he's the new composer in residence for windsor.. which is another kewl thing.. cuz normally only big symphony orchestras have composer in residence's.. not small ones.. which i mean.. is a big stepping stone.. they're getting there..

Lee's Piece.. was really good.. it was orchestrated perfectly.. a wide display of the different instruments.. was really beautiful.. i really enjoyed it..

berlioz.. amazing!!!! just amazing!!!

Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini - the solo pianist.. was incredible.. and the kewl thing.. he's my age.. studying music at juillard.. what i would give.. to be that amazing on the piano.. omg.. so good!!! his music was so emotional.. so touching.. incredible!!!
