Day 1939

Saturday, May 5, 2018

An evening at the symphony tonight.  We went to Max’s Opera Café, which is where we love to go before the concert.  We order the calamari appetizer (which is the best anywhere!) and split the prime rib dinner.  Max’s is fun.  Tonight we sat in back of the orchestra in Center Terrace.  I’d never sat there before but I have to say I love it.  Great seats and I hear so many sections more clearly.

Ray Chen played the Brahams and I thought he was magnificent.  I didn't hear one off note.  Amazing.  At intermission, he was signing programs and taking selfies.  There was a line down the entire aisle.  Nice to see!



The second half of the program featured Prokofiev's 3rd Symphony.  I wasn't familiar with this piece.  I liked it, especially the third movement.  Very modern.
