Last Thursday we enjoyed a very fun trip to the Orpheum Theatre to see – and, more importantly, HEAR – the wonderful Vancouver Symphony Orchestra!! What a great treat for all of us. Just being in the magnificent Orpheum Theatre is a treat on its own. The architecture is truly a sight to see! The students seemed to very much enjoy it. Then we were introduced to all the sections of the orchestra; woodwind, brass, string, and percussion.
The orchestra played a variety of music, each of which told a story. Many of these stories were familiar to the students, such as the waltz from Sleeping Beauty. The bus trip is always fun for the students, as well. We enjoyed the sights of downtown Vancouver. It was great to see the cherry blossoms and magnolia trees in blossom! As usual, a few students napped on the way home! It is all part of the experience!
