symphony!

Every year in my city(notice I said 'my'), there is a festival that lasts about 3 weeks. Lots of activities.

This weekend I went for a 'symphony under the stars'. A complete orchestra with some instruments I didn't know. Music was beautiful though it was free so there were loads of people- making noise for us the music lovers(as if!).

What I enjoyed most : The conductor-He kept doing this really cool thing with his hair. My neighbour said he had used mob conditioner :-) At some point, he conducted us(the audience) in clapping- it was cool; felt like we also had instruments.

What I didn't understand: couldn't really tell many of the instruments apart.

What I didn't like: The guy who did a solo dodged a high note. Who does that?!!

What I learnt : I like being the centre of attention(sometimes!). It was humbling watching so many people with immense talent, all playing together. No individual supper stars or people trying to be louder than their friends and fight for 'katala'. The music was beautiful because everyone played their part well.
