First half was boring an...I was at the concert too.<br />First half was boring and just a warm up the Lindberg's AMAZING piece. I wish we could hear more of these kind of 21th century music in the states. So interesting and colorful.<br />You could hear and see how all of the musicians spent a lot of time working on that piece and that it has something special. I wish I could go there again and again and that Lindberg's residency won't end this year... cause then we're back to the boring american contemporary music, which we have heard too many times. Too bad you couldn't open your self to something new and exciting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
