UPSO

Last night Ned, Richard and I went to the University of Pretoria Symphony Orchestra performance at the Musaion. We haven't attended musical events for years - a great loss. The programme was very good. At the beginning the conductor started them off with "LET'S HAVE FUN" - I liked that - and it was! The second piece was a piano concerto by Saint Saens (we didn't have a programme so I can't tell you its exact name!), and the pianist "a very talented pianist - Gareth Ross". I thought to myself - of course he's talented - he wouldn't be here and playing if he wasn't! . The final piece was the 1812 Overture - one of my favourites. I enjoyed the evening.
