Another week, another free concert!

Hi there!

It's hard to believe over a week has gone by since I've posted a blog here....where is the summer going? We've finally had some nice weather, and it's so good to experience it.

Last week, a good 6,000 friends joined us at the Hatch Shell for the first "Landmarks Festival at the Shell" for the summer season. What a great night! The orchestra was in fine form as always, and the audience had a great time. So did I, for that matter! If you missed it, you can see the pictures that I took of the event on our facebook page...just click on the facebook button at wcrb.com to get there.

Tonight promises to be another great evening. Mother Nature is cooperating nicely...as I write this at 11AM, the skies are clearing, and the forecast indicates we should have spectacular weather for tonight's concert.

Tonight, Charles Annsbacher has prepared a great program for us: the Landmarks Orchestra will perform music by the "Viennese Masters." We'll hear the Haydn Cello Concerto in C ... featuring the cellist Jacqueline Choi, and the beautiful Brahms Symphony #1. The concert is free! It begins at 7. Parking is available at the Boston Common garage. Also, the DCR blocks off the right lane of Storrow Drive westbound about 20 minutes before the concert....you can park there. Or, do what I do....take the T to the Charles St./Mass General station on the red line....just a short walk from there to the shell!

I hope you can join us...and I hope you'll stop by the WCRB tent while you're there. That's where I'll be once my emcee duties are over!

See you tonight,
Mark
