Wonderful evening at the Symphony
to celebrate two years together with Tucker. Well, that wasn't initially the reason behind this outing, but since the dates coincided, why not? :-) Two years, lots of fun, that's for sure, and more to come with the trip to Europe. Time flies...
The concert tonight was to see James Ehnes, the very talented young violinist from Manitoba. James playes a Violin Concerto from a British composer, William Walton. I had never heard the concerto before and this was definitely NOT a piece for beginners. Very technical but also very approachable. The second part of the concert was the VSO playing Tchaikovsky Symphonie No.6 "Pathetique", also a beautiful piece that walks through many emotions: sadness, exaltation, despair...
At the end of the concert, I bought a recent recording from James Ehnes and he signed it. Did you know that he was nominated for two Juno awards, with two different recordings? I hope he wins!
