GSO Musician Thoughts on Recent Concert
October 29, 2007
Having performed the opening concert in our chamber orchestra series, I came away feeling each performance got better and better and better. I say better three times because we performed the concert three times. Although my instrument was not involved in Don Quichotte by Telemann (which lets you know I am not a string player), I thoroughly enjoyed listening from backstage. The string section reached a level of togetherness that is higher than our norm. Congratulations to them. Our guest artist David Gross was wonderful, especially Sunday’s performance of Schumann’s Piano Concerto. Finishing the program with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 was the icing on the cake.

There is now an unwritten guarantee that each concert will be pleasing, professional, and very well performed.
