hey gers

i went to a symphony concert last wk with cozi!!! read: SYMPHONY!!!hahaha

actually we tot it was a dance thingy. cos cozi read in a sistic brochure tat the title for the concert is dances of the world n we never read those small prints n bought the tix!!! hahaha then we went to the concert hall at esplanade n we saw the whole orchestra occupyin the entire stage! no room for any dancers.....

hahaha so dumb of us. but we still enjoyed the concert. the orchestra performed pieces tat r used in ballet n dance pieces. not boring nor sleep inducin at all. the pieces they played were rather dancey

instead, it was very interestin to see how the various section of the orchestra get ready for their turns. the percussionists, in particular are very eng eng cheng cheng. hahaha sometimes, i see them wait for the entire piece to be over before they get ready. but then, percussion is the most impt part of the orchestra, i believe. cos the absence of a litte ting ting frm the small triangle makes a big diff to the whole experience of the piece.

then i am still trying to figure out the role of the conductor..... nobody seems to look at him.... haha other than pacing the music, wat else does he do????

yeah classical music is cool!!! hahaha ;p
