As many of you will know, I am a huge fan of the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra. I love going to their concerts and recently had a fantastic experience at their performance of the Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the Ring movie score. They played the music for the entire 3 hour long movie! It was incredible, hearing my favourite score with a live Orchestra, full Chorus and the Cantare Children's Choir. I now think I'd like to see all movies performed this way - a big screen, some candy and a full Orchestra to perform the music.
For me, I get so excited when the CPO announces their new season. I can't wait to plan which concerts to go to and am so excited to see which monster pieces of Classical Repertoire they are going to play! The big ones I am most excited about next year are the Five Famous Fifths: They will be performing (at separate concerts, don't worry) Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Beethoven, Mahler and Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphonies! These are incredibly tremendous BIG works and I cannot wait to hear all of them. What other concerts am I most excited about? Probably the CPO performs Disney! Take a look at their upcoming season and definitely get your tickets right away! If you're a student of mine, let me know which concerts you are attending and we can try to arrange our tickets for the same night. There is definitely nothing better than a night out with classical music so take a friend, take your family and make a special evening of it! I hope to see you there!
