Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra does Oz

This afternoon I had the pleasure of joining my friend Vicki for one of the best symphony experiences I've ever had:

The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra's Wizard of Oz!!

The hubs and I have had the pleasure of attending a few Orchestra performances in recent years and have always thoroughly enjoyed them, but this really took the cake. The performance was part of the Pops Series and really highlighted the talent of conductor Ron Spigelman. To say that this was a feat of strength for the orchestra is no embellishment! 

                                       

The Orchestra played the ENTIRE movie score while the film and dialogue played along. It's really difficult to see in the photo below, but Mr. Spigelman conducted the Orchestra by monitoring the film via a small screen and clock located on his stand. The Orchestras timing was impeccable, but what impressed me most was the quality that live music added to the overall experience. 

Plus, how gorgeous is it to watch such a classic movie on a HUGE screen! If you ever have the opportunity to experience something like this I highly recommend it. Many thanks to Vicki for her generosity and for taking me!!
