My exams are finally over. Two weeks of studying, two weeks of testing and now , two months of holidays.
I went to see Toyota Classics last night. With the Italian Orchestra Citta di Firenze.
Waiting in the car driving to the International Convention Centre. The night lights sort of synchronize to the Vanessa Mae CD we have in our stereo. Nothing else but that, and the sound of our car.
It was raining lightly and the splatters of raindrop seems like ice cracking. But the cloudless night sky made it seem like an impossible event to be raining. I was very excited for this is my first time to spectate a live orchestra. And from Italy!
We took the shutter service to the Centre as we waved goodbye to our parents who drove my sister and I there. People in black ties and coats and pretty dresses were everywhere. There was an old couple dressed like they were going to see a safari, but I guess its their way of interpreting music as exciting as a safari.
As we walked the red carpet, ushers in black coats greeted us good evening. Everyone was smiling. That liven up the mood of the evening. We took some pictures at the refreshment hall. It was a huge hall for just refreshments.
The orchestra was simple magical. Everything so together, so sound and so lively. The tenor was even more magical to be able to sing louder than an orchestra. Playing classics composed in Italy and some traditional Bruneian music arranged for orchestra.
Even the percussionist was full of emotions during the concert. Playing the triangle like it was a serious job. I took a picture with him and got his auto graph at the end.
Today I took my Grade 5 Theory exam. It had such easy question. But I think thats because I did alot and alot of past years.
On the way back, the sky was like a still picture of godly clouds. Extreme details such like marble on one side and on the other, with proneness of rain. The sky is beautiful.Music Is beautiful.
