In the summertime there is nothing I enjoy more than attending some kind of performance outside under the stars. Last night my friend Angela and I went to a free outdoor concert at the Gallivan Plaza downtown featuring the Utah Symphony. It was absolutely wonderful! I brought a blanket and a picnic and thoroughly enjoyed the music and the breeze. The orchestra played Huapango by Jose Pablo Moncayo, Symphony No. 25 by Mozart, Danzon No. 2 by Arturo Marquez, and Symphony No. 8 by Antonin Dvorak. For the encore they played Stars and Stripes Forever by John Philip Sousa. Such a fun selection of music! I really enjoyed hearing Mozart but all of the pieces were lively and exuberant, perfect for a summer evening. The Utah Symphony will be performing in many outdoor venues this summer and I highly recommend getting a ticket to one of these concerts (go here for information and tickets).
Note: The people watching was superb last night! Don't get me started on the three couples sitting next to us...
