点评:Our party-of-four attended the New Year's Eve afternoon concert of the New Philharmonic at the McAninich Arts Center (the MAC), and it was an enjoyable holiday experience. The MAC staff were all friendly & accommodating to the largely geriatric crowd. Two of us sat 3 rows back in the Floor seats, while my wife & I were seated at a table with chairs right in front of the stage. This show included a bass-baritone singer (Mischa Bouvier) and a trio of electric violinists from the local CoverGirls musical group, each accompanied by the New Philharmonic symphonic orchestra. The show selection had a mix of light classical & pop tunes. None of the musical artists featured in the approx. 75-minute show were exceptionally talented IMO, but Maestro Kirk Muspratt kept the concert lively via his banter & encouragement of audience participation. Some of the entertainers mingled with guests in the MAC lobby after the show, which was a good way to end the afternoon outing ... once we made our way past the lineup of dozens of medical assist walkers in the theater access hallway.
翻译:我们一行四人参加了新爱乐乐团在麦卡尼尼奇艺术中心(the MAC)举行的新年前夜下午音乐会,这是一次愉快的假期体验。 MAC 的工作人员都很友好,乐于助人,主要是老年人群。我们两个人坐在后排 3 排的地板座位上,而我和我的妻子坐在舞台正前方的一张桌子旁。这个节目包括一位低音男中音歌手 (Mischa Bouvier) 和来自当地 CoverGirls 音乐团体的三位电小提琴手,每个人都由新爱乐交响乐团伴奏。节目选择混合了轻古典和流行曲调。大约没有音乐艺术家出现。 75 分钟的表演是非常有才华的 IMO,但 Maestro Kirk Muspratt 通过他的玩笑和鼓励观众参与使音乐会保持活跃。演出结束后,一些演艺人员在 MAC 大厅与客人混在一起,这是结束下午郊游的好方法……一旦我们穿过剧院通道走廊上数十名医疗助行器的阵容。
