Last night was, I believe, my first time ever in Avery Fisher Hall. I've used the bathrooms there a couple of times, actually, but, to the best of my knowledge, have never been in the hall itself.A friend had tickets to the New York Philharmonic, which I've only ever seen in Central and Prospect Park concerts.
The program was all Stravinsky: Jeu de cartes (Game of Cards); Symphony of Psalms (with the Chorus of the Mariinsky Theare); and L'Oiseau de feu (The Firebird, complete). I very much enjoyed the music which was beautiful and exciting. As gorgeous and interesting as it was, I think I most enjoy classical music when it danced or sung to, as in ballet (or modern dance, even) and opera. But my musical tastes are definitely expanding and last night was a wonderful treat.
