Been a very good week. Second quarter of school is winding down, and I can already tell that passing these classes is already a forgone conclusion; which really takes a lot of stress off the rest of the quarter. This last weekend Anne and I went to the Tacoma Symphony to see them perform Egmont Overture (Beethoven), A Lincoln Portrait (Copland), and Symphon No. 1, "Titan" (Mahler). It was absolutely fantastic. For the Lincoln Portrait they had a monologue spoken over the last 1/3rd of the performance. Half surprisingly, it wasn't campy at all and in-fact was very moving. I'm a little ashamed I had no clue the caliper of symphony we had in Tacoma. Leave it to a board member to seduce me and take me to a show. ;-)
This Saturday we're heading (Anne & my parents) to see Doc Severinsen perform at Benaroya Hall in Seattle (performing an all new show called El Ritmo de la Vida - Rhythm of Life). Doc was the first trumpet CD I ever bought, and I'm absolutely thrilled to catch him live. I'm sure next week I'll have a couple things to say about the show.
