Last Tuesday I went to see the London Symphony Orchestra at Barbican Hall with two other kids in my program. I sent out a message on Facebook to as many people in my program I could think of inviting anyone to come and only 2 responded! Sad. Tickets were only £14 which is like $21. Not bad, in my opinion! I think at home it would be WAY more expensive! Tickets range between £8 and £32.
Anyway, I was super psyched especially since the violinist Sarah Chang would be playing...
This is beforehand in one of the eating areas and I just thought the lights were so neat I had to take a picture:
At the symphony, which was conducted by Sir Colin Davis.
Here is Sarah Chang! She played the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (which I have a recording of her playing already!).
The symphony also played Elgar's Symphony No. 2 and a modern piece that I didn't like as much. Sarah Chang was definitely the highlight of the evening for me. I couldn't take my eyes off of the performance and I felt so, so lucky! It was hard for me to comprehend that the music was coming from the stage... the room that I, too, was in. I was sitting far away, but I had a perfect view of everything. I could clearly hear the solo violin.
