Went to a great pops concert at the BSO yesterday (they were giving out free tickets!)
It's sort of funny because I have always imagined pops concerts to be a summery, outdoors-y thing, which the BSO tried to emulate with picnic tables and fun lighting...but indoors.
Pretty butterfly silhouette lighting...
A really really great concert, and I heard probably the best vocalist I have ever heard live, Renese King. Also a fantastic trumpet / vocalist named Byron Stripling (mostly blues) who looked as if he lived to be on stage. It's great when performers actually look like they are having fun! If you're ever bored, look up their music...I'm sure it's on youtube etc.
Lots of little tables on the floor where normally there are rows of seats. You could order desserts, wine, and old-fashioned sodas from your seat!
Oh, and apparently it was flag day yesterday...so they had the a marching band from the navy come through the aisles, which was fun. Great uniforms!
