ACO

Hmm forgot to report that we went to see the Australian Chamber Orchestra on wednesday night. They were, as always, excellent. Apart from a few issues to do with coins for parking, some uncomfortable pointy shoes and a cockroach we had a most enjoyable evening. The chick playing the piano had obviously been playing slightly longer than Ben. She did smile in a slightly scary manner but the Bach was great, especially her solo in Brandenburg #5. The Golijov was interesting and the TÜÜR was brilliant (a pity it wasn't longer -- it really ignited the Tognetti passion). I shall have to keep an eye out for his stuff...
