I had the most amazing night Saturday - and I need to tell you about it.
But let's start with the 'why'. Late last year, the brilliant Philip Paschke from the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, sent me an email asking if I wanted a few opportunities to attend the ESO this year. Naturally, I jumped at the chance... but I was nervous. I told Philip that my only experience was when I attended Symphony Under the Sky this past summer.

He assured me that my lack of ESO experience was actually a good thing, because I'd be experiencing it like so many first-timers and my night wouldn't be necessarily be ruined if the violins were 'pitchy'. (Although, what's the chances of that happening?)
That brought me to the Francis Winspear Centre for Music. Which, I'd only been to once ...
