The Magical Music of the DSO
Last Thursday and throughout the weekend the Detroit Symphony Orchestra performed the Magical Music of Disney. This concert weekend has been one of the most fun weekends I have had since working here.Like most people I really enjoy Disney cartoons and the music that goes along wtih them. Some where along the brain storming for this concert a few of us came up with the bright idea to have actual Disney characters in Orchestra Hall and the Atrium before the concerts, at intermission and after the concert. That meant that we would have to be the characters if we could find the costumes.
After some phone calls we were able to get two costume shops to donate 6 different costumes. If you were able to make it to a coffee concert or the Friday evening concert, you would have seen Snow White, the Evil Queen, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Alice in Wonderland and her white rabbit.We all had a wonderful time and for some reason I was more suprised by some of the children's reactions than I was with our coffee concert patrons. The performances that I was able to see were great. I enjoyed getting taken back to so many movies that meant so much to me while growing up!
