Title: FWIW: Philadelphia Orchestra 2015-16 Season Retrospect (Audio is M8 Part I)
Post by: waderice on November 15, 2016, 08:33:35 PM

The below nearly three-minute video link gives a retrospect on the Philadelphia Orchestra's 2015-16 season, with the audio track featuring the last three minutes of their performance of Part I of M8, but the couple of video clips provided from that memorable M8 centennial concert are too short to give an adequate visual idea of that performance.  More PR than anything else.  >:(

Thanks. It was still fun to look at.   8)

I think it was a travesty that the musicians chose to 'walk out' as patrons were waiting for the downbeat of the opening gala concert. I think that shows a distinct lack of class on their part. Perhaps some of those patrons will choose to 'vote with their dollars' by going to something else next time.
