Last symphony this season

 London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas.
That all should sound reasonably entertaining.
I even got new curls for this concert, but they frizzed up by the end,
because my head was hurting so much.

 
Benjamin Britten, Shostakovich and Sibelius.
A lot of bad music was written, but to put them all into one evening is not fair.
I could've been equally annoyed attending a rock concert. 
 
 
I'm not complaining. It's not in my nature to complain :)
At least we looked very pretty and feeling good about deciding not
to renew our subscription for next season.
We have a lot of good music to hear that cost far less.

 
But will you look at my new flapper curlies?
I love 'em!!!!!!

Symphony Date 5

National Symphony Orchestra of Mexico night.

Feel like Edwardian for the night. Why not?

My handsome baby

Who is ready for a concert?

Buck will hold down the rugs while we are gone.
That's his favorite job.

Spitzers wants to go.
He is always ready to party.




Fantastic concert! The best of the season so far. We loved the authentic
Mexican music the orchestra played.
Alfonso Moreno sure knows how to make a guitar sound good.
They played the Brahms 4th, but Mark and I agreed that we should
leave that for the Germans to perform.

Another beautiful evening in Palm Desert.

"Viennese Nights" A Grand Ball

Ballroom dancing in San Diego

The Balboa Park Club Ballroom

Ready for some waltzes and polkas
Our Edwardian outfit.
My "just walked on the beach" skirt and top dressed up  with Baltic Ambers.

The group had to march for the first set and the choreography was beautiful.
They even played the Radetzky March just for me.
 

Clothes from 1915 or so and/or formal wear was required.

My Zydeco dance teacher, in the center, also likes ballroom dancing.
