It was a lovely experience. Maestro Brotons and the orchestra were gracious collaborators, and the audience was really responsive. The hall is a terrific asset for them, I agree. For some time now, the Vancouver Symphony has been really serious about growing and improving as an ensemble and as an institution, and if memory serves, their progress picked up steam when they started playing there. Coincidence? I doubt it. Thanks for the kind words, Charles! It was a lovely experience. Maestro Brotons and the orchestra were gracious collaborators, and the audience was really responsive.

We had prior plans to attend the opera in Seattle. Otherwise we would have attended. Nancy is such a fine cellist and a wonderful person. Thanks for the report, Charles. I’m sorry I missed that!
