Along with my family, I had the opportunity over the weekend to hear this piece performed by a community symphony orchestra and a wonderfully talented high school senior. It was an unusual room that held an audience of only 100-150. This made for a very intimate and highly enjoyable concert experience.
The concert had a great "Pops" program: Fanfare for the Common Man, Sorcerers Apprentice..ect. I decided to try something different and downloaded recordings of all the program pieces, so my family and I could get familiar with the music prior to the concert. At least for me, this definitely added to the enjoyment!
