We then hung out at an Irish pub. I met Evan Chambers, and that was great! He plays in an irish band, isn't that cool?
Four of the five adventurists continued our journey today for another concert! We drove to University of Michigan, met up Andy Ly and other friends, and saw the Mariinsky Orchestra in the Hill Auditorium, with Valery Geriev conducting and Denis Matsuev on the piano. The Rachmaninoff 3rd piano concerto was amazing. The balance on the orchestra part was so well-controlled; the pianist was amazing. Somehow they arranged the brass to the right of the stage and basses lining up in the back, which is sort of weird... The Mahler 5th was emotionally intense; Maestro Geriev conducts without a baton and has some really interesting conducting gestures.
