A stellar evening under the stars!
Music to soothe the soul.
Tonight's performance was a free gift to the community.
Our beloved Roanoke Symphony Orchestra 'unleashed the power of music' to a record attendance.
This particular performance begins David Wiley's 24th season with the RSO.
Read all about him here →→→ DAVID STEWART WILEY .
His accomplishments are stellar.
******The music of the orchestra, however, is created by combining the many talents of the individual members of the orchastra who have faithfully given their time, some, for longer than David has been in Roanoke!
The crowds gathered early.
Friends, families, children.........
Other performers in the program included members of the RSO Chorus (John Hugo, chorus master), and the Southwest VA Ballet (Pedro Szalay, Artistic Director).
One of my favorite classical arrangements from Beethoven, was the Symphony No 5 op. 67 (Allegro conbrio). Here is a tidbit of trivia here:
The beginning of the piece is .....
dot.dot.dash
dot.dot.do.dash.
Think Morse Code here 😁😁😁
Would you believe that this is Morse Code for VICTORY!
Here is a FABULOUS READ about the Victory sign, and how Beethoven's symphony was used to promote morale for the troops during WW2! DOT.DOT.DOT.DASH
Yes, Victory!
This marking was called Victory mail, and was stamped on many letters from WW2.
The next time you hear Beethoven's symphony, think of Morse Code for VICTORY!
Bravo to the Orchestra, for a grand evening.
