Avery Fisher Hall
New York Philharmonic

Rehearsal



We have tickets to hear the New York Philharmonic tomorrow evening at Avery Fisher Hall.  The centerpiece of the concert will be Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.  It's huge!  It will include full orchestra, 4 soloists, and a full chorus.  We're going this morning to see how they work to pull it all together.  Should be really interesting.

 



 

Avery Fisher Hall was packed full with real music lovers.  No amateurs there!

 

Even though it was a rehearsal, everybody already knew their parts really well.  No struggling to find and hit the notes.  Very little stopping and talking from the conductor.  There must have been 300 hundred musicians on stage; orchestra and chorus.

 

Carolyn found it to be one of the most exciting things we've done since arriving in New York City.

 

We get to see the performance tomorrow night!

 



 

 

The following videos are a little goofy since I've got my phone hidden in my lap so it can pick up the music.  I keep looking down at the screen to see the time so I don't go over 50 seconds for emailing purposes.
