All hail the brass section

Joe and I enjoyed two consecutive evenings at the Blossom Music Center, the Cleveland Orchestra's home for the summer months. Niched in the lower portion of the Cuyahoga National Park, Blossom's outdoor amphitheater hosts chirping birds nesting in tall leafy trees, avid wine drinkers toting their exotic tempranillos, children having fun rolling down the soft and cool lawn grass, aromatic picnics, and wonderful music.
Saturday included Mahler's Symphony No. 1 and last night, the orchestra brought to life Bruckner's Symphony No. 9. Both, amazing. It was a first to hear a live quartet of Wagnerian Tubas play in the last movement of the Bruckner. In last night's performance, very tastefully done.
A couple of shots from Blossom.
Mmmm. Watermelon, asparagus, and cherry-apple chicken sausage from that lovely Westside Market.
We're trying to score tickets from Mr. Sachs again for this upcoming weekend. Tchaik 5, baby.

Ok. You're off the hook on the food pics front. And golly, that looks tantalizing. I like how Joe is displaying the plate of food very professionally. And I like the angle of the photo, how it makes the foodular goods look longer.
And I'm rather jealous about the live music venues...all I've got is an army band to honk around with...
