Good Evening!
So... I went to hear the Greenwich Village Orchestra play earlier this afternoon. My friend, Brendan, just started playing with them (second violin). It was a very nice and relatively short program. Bruch's Violin Concerto in the first half, and Vaughan-Williams' "London" Symphony in the second half. I'm always a little wary of attending concerts by pick-up orchestras, but, I have to say that I was quite surprised with the level of playing. And what the auditorium at the Washington Irving School lacks in aesthetics, it more than makes up for in acoustics. Good sound, good music.
