A friend and I got free tickets. They played

Carl Maria von Weber "Oberon" the overture

Hector Berlioz "Nuits d'été" I esp. was impressed by this part "Sur les lagunes"

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy "Midsummer Night's Dream"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7aRVXBp-EU&feature=related

Did you know that the Wedding March was part of Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream"?

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

1. Yeah I found that out years ago.

I don't remember how exactly. :hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. I knew it before yesterday evening

no idea when I found out. But the piece is just beautiful. Not only the Wedding MArch but the whole "A Midsummer Night's Dream". I think I will get it on CD

:hi:

And the lady who sang it last night had a cough and sang through it without interrupting. Just in the breakes. I was amazed. And she sang beautiful too.

[AirmensMom]

7. Don't forget the Italian Symphony

It's better dinner music, unless you like Haggis.

[MissHoneychurch]

12. I don't like Haggis

unless you fill me up with Scottish whisky before .... but I like Scotland otherwise :D

we have access at work returned, so I can keep up.

Doing well here, having a blast of winter here in town. The big news is that I'm planning to audition for the Renaissance Festival this weekend. I spend enough time there, so I might as well make it official and get paid for it. :P

[MissHoneychurch]

16. YAY!!!

I wish you the best luck at the audition!!!! Are you going there dressed up?

[Brewman_Jax]

18. No, going in normal attire

but I've thought about carrying a costume with me, just in case. I think I'll wear my compass rose bronze medallion.

Glad you enjoyed the concert. Sounds like a good time. :thumbsup:

[MissHoneychurch]
