I WENT TO THIS CONCERT WHICH WAS FREE AND THEY HAD ABOUT 50 MEMBERS WHO VOLUNTEER THEIR TALENT TO THE ORCHESTRA. EACH CONCERT COSTS THEM ABOUT A$18,000 TO PUT ON. IT IS AN INCREDIBLE TALENT. THEY ALL ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS. MANY VIOLINISTS, ABOUT 5 CELLO PLAYERS, A COUPLE OF BASS PLAYERS AND SOME CLARINETS, A TUBA, AND OTHER HORNS, AS WELL AS DRUMS AND CYMBALS. THE PLAYED SOME VERY ENCHANTING MUSIC THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT ALL AMERICAN MUSIC. THEY HAD A SOPRANO SINGER TO AND HER VOICE WAS NOT LOUD ENOUGH TO HEAR OVER THE MUSIC. ONE OF HER SONGS WAS IN GERMAN AND OF COURSE VERY FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD THAT LANGUAGE.
IN ANY CASE THIS SYMPHONY IS GOING TO GO TO CHINA NEXT JANUARY WHERE THEY WILL PLAY EIGHT CONCERTS. LUCKY FOR THEM TO BE SO BRILLIANT OF A GROUP WHO KNOW HOW TO PLAY IN ORCHESTRATED HARMONY.
