First TSO concert of the year

I went to my first TSO concert tonight ... so cool. Beethoven 2nd and 6th Symphonies, plus 5 beautiful songs by Mahler. Visited goosebump territory several times. The drums in the 6th Symphony were Mr. Fidget's (Aamer's) favourite. ;-> They were awesome.

I loved watching the orchestra play together, particularly the violins. From where I sat, the light glinted on every bowstring, and the near-unison in the motion of the bows reminded me of seeds sprouting as through fast-motion film. You might not know what I mean; it's crazy analogy that I can't really articulate well. But if I could show you ... nah, I'd probably still be the only one who saw the similarity! :->

Anyway, Beethoven = cool.
