Royal Albert Hall Prom Concert

[bohemian]

My wife and I are going to a Promenade Concert at the RAH next Wednesday night.

 

We have been there before to classical concerts, and some years ago I accompanied 2 Czech visitors and we 'promenaded' - queued for tickets in the main standing area in front of the stage.

 

This concert is:

Frank Zappa: The Adventures Of Greggery Peccary

Conlon Nancarrow: Study For Player Piano

Philip Glass: Symphony #10 (UK Premiere)

 

We are looking forward to it.

Sounds like an event lots of us would enjoy. So, that being the case brother, you and your wife need to enjoy it for us! Have fun.

I see they have added another Zappa piece too since I booked: G-spot Tornado.

 

Aurora orchestra is performing. 

 

 

Should be interesting. Orchestral Zappa.   We saw Dweezil some time ago at the Roundhouse in the Zappa Plays Zappa tour, and that was very good.

Let us know when Captain Beefheart plays at the Royal Albert Hall...we will come over...jump the pond and join you...

I wish I could have seen him.  I have seen the reformed Magic Band at the Royal Festival Hall.  Four members of the Magic Band playing the Captain's music.  John French (Drumbo) made an excellent job of the vocals too!
