An Afternoon at the Symphony ...

December 4, 2016

Oma and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon ... at the Symphony of the Kootenays ...
Opening up the show with a 4 concert stroll ...
thru Vivaldi's iconic Four Seasons ... these were lovely ... movie pieces ...
Then next on the program was ...
"Stealing Back the Holidays" with Allison Girvan of Nelson ... presenting the season's best Christmas songs ... which were arranged for a vocal soloists and Symphony Orchestra ...
After the intermission ...celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Christmas television debut ...
of Dr.Seuss" classic "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" ...
featuring the Selkirk Secondary School's Who-ville choir ... as the story was narrated by Michael Jones of Kimberely ...
This was a beautiful beginning to our Christmas season ... now Let it Snow ... !!!

 

The snow had begun to fall ... when we left the theatre ...
It was an interesting drive home ... very ... s l o w ...
Compact ... slippery ... deep snow ... blizzard conditions ...
It was difficult to find our road to turn off on ...
but
both Mike and I made it home safely ... as we were driving 2 vehicles ...
At the rate it was falling ... we're sure to have a good 8-10 inches of snow ...
before it would stop ...
