24th June 05
-------------
last minute outing to NYP auditorium. NYP wind orchestra + NTU symphonic band combined concert. Danceries is such a wonderful piece. i simply love it. every movement is nice. usually i only like little bits here and there. the rest of the pieces leave no impression on me. and NYP auditorium has lousy acoustics which made everything sound so blurred over.
25th June 05
------------
after another long wait, Swan Lake by Royal Ballet. first time i've gone for ballet. not like i can understand anything properly, but it's just breathtakingly pretty. pretty sets, pretty drapes, pretty backdrop, pretty costumes, pretty people. pretty harp. im always amused by orchestra pits, and how big the space is. ah swan lake. wonder what's up next year.
26th June 05
------------
jx performs with philharmonic winds. Danceries again, not that i mind. i still love it. and now it sounds sharp and clear, wonderful. Gloriosa is always nice too, flute + tbone + singing, yay. rather nice everything.
and supper with old band friends. more than i expected. two juniors got left out though.
3 performances in a row. the more the merrier. especially nice ones. ah swan lake... and i havent heard the organ yet, after so many years.
for timekeeping purposes
