Disney Concert Hall

I am now officially down with my 4Ws for this semester. My last one this semester was going to see the LA Philharmonic at the Disney Concert Hall. It was an absolutely amazing concert. We heard a total of three pieces, two from Stravinsky and one from Tchaikovsky. My favorite piece was Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto. The Philharmonic’s piano player was remarkable. By looking at him, he didn’t look like a gentle, graceful man. Wow, was I wrong. At a few points in the song his hands looked like a blur. Our seats inside were incredible. The orchestra sits in the middle of the concert hall and the seats surround them. We sat directly behind the orchestra. We were so close that we could see the music of the percussion section.

Not only was the concert beautiful, but the building was outstanding. The entire outside was silver. When we walked by, we could feel the heat radiating off. The entire street that the hall is on is pretty cool. It also has an opera building and many other theater type buildings. When we walked up from the parking garage there were four men singing. They were so good. A bunch of us just stood and listened to them for quite a while.

After the concert we all went out to dinner at Johnny Rockets. It was a nice ending of the day. There was a lot of laughing that night. Many memories were made.

This weekend is Parents Weekend and I am pretty excited to see my family. It should be a fun weekend filled with a talent show, games, and many more things.
