I haven’t really written about our concert experience this past week. Life sort of interfered, and I don’t care to write reviews in any case. But … I just read a rather favorable review of the San Francisco Symphony concert. The reviewer went to Davies. I’m wondering if anyone ever reviews a Flint Center concert.
We were at Flint Center on Thursday night. Maybe I’m wrong, but many of the orchestra members looked like they didn’t want to be there. Am I imagining that, or is it true? Does anyone know?
I know run-outs aren’t really a whole lot of fun for a whole lot of people. I feel that way; I prefer to play in the halls we kind of “own”. (Not as in a financial ownership, but the ones we are familiar with, that feel like “ours”.) Maybe SFS folks feel the same way.
The hall wasn’t extremely full. Maybe the audience is dwindling along with the musicians’ lack of enthusiasm.
Or maybe I’m imagining the whole thing.
