A little while ago, I arrived home from the concert (Young Concert Artists) for which Stacey and I had second row seats in the new Rose Theater. The three solo performers were very talented, but what is still sticking out in my mind is the amazing Marimba Concerto by the YCA’s composer-in-residence, Kevin Puts. It was a difficult and beautiful piece with an amazing blend between the soloist and orchestra. The sonority of the instruments melted from marimba to strings and back to marimba.
Afterwards Stacey and I wandered around the Time Warner Center and played with some interactive guides designed by Samsung that allow you to control a virtual tour of the city by moving your hands in different directions on top of a monitor.
It’s almost 1:00 am now. It’ll be nice to get to sleep earlier than usual. Thanks for the ticket to the concert, Stacey! :>
