Symphony
My wife won tickets to the symphony from a local radio station, Peak 95.1 for Saturday night and we had a great time. Friends from Denver came down and went with us. The Colorado Springs Philharmonic played at the Pike’s Peak Center and had a special guest. Ani Aznavoorian played an orchestra written specifically for her by Laderman. She also played Rococo Variations by Tchaikovsky.
Ani is a world class cellist and was amazing. She’s been playing since she was three years old and has played all over the world. We had gone a couple of weeks before, again with tickets won by my wife, and heard the orchestra play Beethoven.
I liked listening to Tchaikovsky much better than Beethoven. It seemed to be more rhythmic. Beethoven seemed more hard to follow because it changes directions often.
It was amazing to hear Ani play the cello. I really enjoyed it.
