Sunday Entertainment

On Sunday 04/04, we came back to Meyerson Symphony Hall for some more classical music.

Conductor: Mr. John Storgaards

Haydn - Symphony No. 94, in G Major, "Surprise" - very pleasant and enjoyable.
Sibelius - Concerto in D minor for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 47 - so beautiful!

The violinist, Mr. Augustin Hadelich is a 2016 Grammy Award winner, he plays Stradivarius violin made in 1723 - wonderful performance.

Nielsen - Symphony No.5, Op. 50 - quite epic - I had not heard anything by Nielsen before.

Dallas Symphony Orchestra Evening

Last Friday, we had a great time at the Meyerson Symphony Center. We listened to live music by Dallas Symphony Orchestra. The "Prague" Symphony by Mozart (Symphony No. 38 in D Major, K. 504) was lovely. However, it was the second part of the performance which made the evening.

"The Song of the Earth" by Mahler is such suggestive and illustrative music. Together with the magnificent voices of the singers (Kelly O'Connor and Russell Thomas), it created quite a vivid picture and story. You could almost see the birds in trees, the ship leaving the harbor, the moon and feel the wind blow on your face as well. I especially liked the sounds of cellos and trombones imitating the sound of the ship horn.
