STL DPB ON THE ROAD - TONIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT

We reached our first stop. Gustavo Dudamel isn't conducting tonight (we've seen him a couple of times and he's something to watch). Rather, it's Zubin Mehta, the orchestra's conductor laureate, leading Mozart's Great Mass in C Minor. I remember him when he was the music director at the New York Philharmonic. Afterwards, lucky us, we get to drive back to the hotel on the 101.           

STL DPB In Los Angeles: Disneyland

.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic plays in the Walt Disney Concert Hall, a creation of architect Frank Gehry. The big poster on the left pictures the 30 year old Venezuelan music director, Gustavo Dudamel. We attended the performance Sunday afternoon. Both the outside and inside of the hall are wonders. Dudamel led the orchestra with great economy through most of the concert but became airborne in the grand moments of the Bruckner 7th.

There's an Arch photo today on Downtown St. Louis 365 today. I mean, why not?
