USC Thornton Symphony in Concert


The orchestra, about ready to play. That is David playing the dark colored bass just to the left of the curtain on the right side of the stage. It was a very nice performance. The program was:
  • Overture to La gazza ladra: Gioacchino Rossini
  • Pavane: Gabriel Faure
  • My Bells: Bill Evans
  • Blackbird: John Lennon and Paul McCartney
  • Symphony No. 5 in D Minor, op. 47: Dimitri Shastokovich
The Shelly Berg Trio played Jazz with the orchestra on Pavane, My Bells, and Blackbird. Of the pieces, I liked the Rossini Overture and Blackbird the best.

This last week I went back to Houston and then out to Los Angeles. It was great to see so many family members - and I didn't go into work one day!
