Thanks to Joan and Don's patronage of the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Marie and I had box seats at the "Donor's Only" special concert on Tuesday evening. We had a great dinner at
JeanRo, a French Bistro and then headed to
Music Hall. The donor's had voted on their favorites, so
Paavo Jarvi conducted a crowd pleaser, including selections from Mozart, Mussorgsky, Grieg and Smetana. The symphonic poem
Die Moldau, No. 2 from Ma vlast was particularly sublime and captures a walk along the Moldau river (
YouTube rendition). Visiting Music Hall brought back wonderful memories of many concerts, opera and Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion - lovely!
