I had the pleasure of attending the Australian Youth Orchestra with Keith and Andrew at the Melbourne Town Hall last Tuesday. Andrew invited us as his guests as it was sponsored by his company Accenture. It was conducted by Rossen Milanov and we listened to 3 pieces by Rachmaninov, Mozart and Mahler over a length of 2 1/2 hours. I enjoyed Mahler's Symphony No. 1 in D Major the most. It was a most enjoyable experience.
After the performance, we proceeded to the cocktail function. There we met the conductor, performers and the Melbourne Lord Mayor John So with his wife. We got lucky and chatted with the Lord Mayor for a bit. The couple were very friendly and down to earth. We listened to some thank you speeches from the organizers and congratulated the conductor and soloist, Lin Jiang who played Mozart's Concerto for the Horn. I hope to attend more classical performances in the near future :)
