The SLSO's Will James and John Kasica play water percussion with Colin Currie on Tan Dun's Water Concerto. If you go to the concert Saturday night--and there are tickets, go!--you'll notice that Will and John are not dressed in formal tuxedo attire in the first half of the show. As Will explained to me the other day, they are soaked by intermission. No need to pay extra tuxedo dry-cleaning costs just before Carnegie. They change to formal wear for the second half.
The audience members near the stage were warned about possible showers during the performance, which of course meant that during the stage change for the Tan Dun a number of people moved up to be closer. A hearty bravo goes out to the couple who, seated nearest to John, dressed in full rain gear.
The invited bloggers had a great time. The general consensus: The SLSO rocked the Bartok! Actually, there's another modifier that goes in there, but this is a family-friendly blog.
