I was lucky enough to attend the KW Symphony on
Friday night to hear and watch them with a special series Prog Rock
Here is how they describe the night
“A sound
associated with bands like Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Jethro Tull, Prog Rock
explores extended musical structures, intricate patterns and textures, and
often esoteric subject matter — giving it a place beyond pop and beside modern
greats like Stravinsky and Bartók. Hear a brand new piece for orchestra and a
Rush-style Power Trio by acclaimed Canadian composer Nicole Lizée: music that
bridges the gaps between old and new, acoustic and electronic, classical and
rock.”
I love the
symphony, I love everything about listening to what these people can do with
their instruments. My husband joined me and he enjoyed it a lot too. I do plan
to do more of these nights. He enjoyed this particular one more than I did. It
was harder than I enjoyed and the pieces that they played really did fit into
what they were going for. Heavy Metal Rock. I’m not a fan of the Rock music so
I’m not surprised that I wasn’t a huge fan of what they came up with.
Now nothing
says that they weren’t great at how they played. My husband who is a Heavy
Metal fan absolutely loved the show and would go back again. They did something
right!
I’m very
thankful for them as I won the tickets on a twitter contest. Because of that
though, I can see us participating in more of their shows! I just have a feeling that next one will be something that I would enjoy more musically. Either way, a great time was had and I enjoyed watching and listening to hear all the different instruments.
