Apres le Concert

A friend of mine got me a ticket to hear the Brahms Requiem performed by the Durham Choral Society and orchestra under Rodney Wynkoop. It was awesome! My bud also loaned me a score which I followed, so it was also a prime learning experience. (I have to re-educate myself constantly, because the older I get, the less I know). I couldn't viddy the concert, of course, but I shot a bit of the orchestra warming up, before the chorus filed into the risers.

In the usual surreal coincidence, I ended up seated right next to an obviously mentally troubled woman. You can hear her in the video, I didn't take her picture. The kinds of disconnected, random stuff she was spouting continued throughout the concert, albeit at a lower volume level because her caretaker person kept shushing her. I felt sorry for her, but some other folks were a bit pissed off.

This was in Baldwin Auditorium on the Duke campus. I like the dome!
