they performed barber's overture to the school for scandal, bernstein's symphonic dances from west side story, and berlioz's symphonie fantastique. the conductor acted like everyone was there to see the symphonie fantastique, but i was definitely most excited about the west side story, and sure enough, it was my favorite of the night. such good music. it reminded me that i need to own west side story. all three pieces were beautiful though, and well performed.
in addition to remembering that i need to own west side story, i remembered that we need to own season's tickets to the symphony. soon. and as soon as our kids are old enough to sit through a performance, they're coming too. i'm so grateful that my parents exposed me to culture and the arts when i was young so that i have a taste for it now and act appropriately in those situations. this is something that i definitely want to pass on to my children.
and i may have realized that i need a couple other things in my life. like one of these hot little numbers:
(the female performers all looked so beautiful in their stunning black dresses)
and some of these:
no, i don't have my ears pierced, but while i was zoning out during the third movement of the fantastique (hey, even randy admitted that it was a little dull and lasted far too long), i noticed that the second chair violinist had some beautiful little bling like this that glistened when it picked up the stage lights and i thought that they would go so beautifully with the elegant black dress that i had already set my mind on. okay, so maybe "need" is the wrong word...
