Tonight I took Madeline, Brigette, Tom and Amelia to see Symphony under the Stars with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. What a wonderful night it was. In Port Augusta this year we have the Port Augusta Re Imagine's festival. It is a year of events, performances and workshops.
I did hear the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra play when Steve and I went to the Festival theatre (nearly 14 years ago) to see Jesus Christ Super Star. I haven't ever been to a concert with just the orchestra like this.
The last number they did was Tchaikovsky’s immortal 1812 overture, with fireworks in the background. I have never experienced anything like this. It was a wonderful night and will be one that I can imagine myself telling our Grandchildren about.

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.

Sounds like you had a great evening! I absolutely love the 1812Overture. We used to listen to it when we were kids, and dad would tell us to close our eyes and imagine the battle. ALso loved the New World Symphony by Dvorak, especially Coming Home (the Largo)
Therese, we have had something over here in the States where I live where the symphony plays outside under the stars and they also do fireworks ... the kids were mesmerized and talked about it for weeks! Glad you enjoyed ... wish I could be there!
