This evening's philharmonic concert had several interesting parts. It opened with a fun little five minute piece by Lili Boulanger called "D'un matin de printemps." I'm pretty sure that is something about an evening in springtime but my high school French is quite rusty. It was a lovely piece. I was sad to read that the composer died when she was only 24.
Then came Edgar Meyer's "Violin Concerto." The solo parts were performed by violinist Eric Silberger who was absolutely sublime. This was definitely my favorite part of the evening.
After the imtermission we heard "Rondes de printemps, No.3" from "Images" by Claude Debussy and a Piano Trio by Ravel adapted for full orchestra. Both pieces were beautifully performed (I especially enjoyed the harps) and my spouse said that the Ravel piece was his favorite part of the program.
I guess you could sa there was something for everyone this evening.
