  • "this is called...decomposing."

    genius.

    <3 LS!

  • There are only two reasons why anyone would miss this work, they have an illness of the inner ear and will have to wait a little till technology catches up or they have an allergic reaction to C flat which makes it very hard to follow the performance. One of the best interventions in philharmonic performances in years. I grew up with L. Bernstein introducing me gently to the world of "serious" music. I think this is one of those moments I hope my kids will take with them. Thank you!

  • i got to see this live

  • "I think there should be an orchestra in every lobby of every hospital."

  • Lemony Snicket and San Fransisco Symphony Orchestra, you are not God. However, should He ever want to give the world a particularly good time, you are second in line.

  • i saw this vid in my music class. my teacher showed the class this and we all loved it!

  • Now I know why I love Lemony books

  • Can't wait to get the book! I love all there is to love about Lemony Snicket and his dubious official representative.

  • This is Great! And SO hilarious! I was cracking up! I especially like the bit on the Violas!
