Colburn Concert

Absolutely fabulous all 20th century concert tonight by the Colburn kids at the Ambassador Auditorium: Avro Part, Fratres for String Orchestra and Percussion, 1991: Witold Lutoslawski, Concerto for Cello, 1970, and Copland, Symphony No 3, 1946.

Benjamin Manis, cello was fantastic, quite a contrast to the ho-hum "saws" I've been suffering through lately.

The conductor, Robert Spano, from the Atlanta Symphony, was a miracle. I was sitting in the 2nd row and could see everything the cellist and conductor were doing.
