Symphony in the City

Tonite I went to Symphony in the City with the Western Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO).
Originally I heard about it from via Julz and a few of us were meant to go... So I dragged Robin to come with me. None of the original members were to be found, so we ended up going ourselves. We had a terrific night.

Pieces to note included Beethoven's 5th Symphony, Puccini's La Boheme, Wagner's The Ride of the Valkyries and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. With cannon's a-firing and Swan Bells a-ringing, it was truly a sensation!

Cheeeeeeeese!Once the sun had dipped

Best of all, it was a free event! After the set, the crowd cheered on for 3 encores including the Can-can.
