Although we dreaded
the thought of sitting for a full 2 hours and listening to an orchestra at the
Kimmel Center, many of my classmates' responses were positive! The first half
of the show consisted of two men who were speaking about what each "motif"
in the music symbolized. Some examples of motifs symbolized fate or tears. I'm
sure nobody has ever experienced music analyzed like that, and I personally thought it
was really cool. After the intermission, the orchestra played the whole piece (I forget who the composer was) and it was amazing. They really know how to play!
