Anne gets free tickets to the Dallas Symphony through Dallas Theological Seminary (she's taking some classes). So we went last night. Our seats were in one of the first balconies and exactly in the center. The acoustics from our location (I believe) made those seats better than the ones we were supposed to be in...there was a bit of a mix-up with date of the DTS students' tickets.We heard an Ives tribute to General William Booth (founder of Salvation Army back in the 1800s) for the first part of the concert. After a brief intermission of fabulous chocolate cake in the lobby, the main portion of the concert was Brahms' Piano Concerto #1. This was an amazing piece, and Andre Watts played the piano portions with such elegance and passion. His fingers would just glide across the keys and sometimes he would have to stomp his foot to get all the notes in. It reminded me of an afternoon at ACU when the music majors (and minors) were invited to see this Middle Eastern man play the drums. He could beat out rhythms like nobody's business, but he had to contort his face to get all of the beats in!
Anyway, a good time was had by all.
