Kudos to the curators and financiers for bringing The Anatomy of the Orchestra: The Four Sections experience to the United States. While I was saddened that the orchestra was in town from London for only a fleeting moment, I was greatful for this mind blowing new experience. I had no idea what to expect. I followed my curiosity. Turned out to be a model for democratizing music. The interactive event demistified and made classical music and professional instruments fascinating.
Every nuance was just right. Pictures or videos will not replace being among the performers, freely talking with them, up close to their instruments. I never knew there was sign language for music. Wow!
My wishes: 1. You and other institutions bring this orchestra back. Many times! 2. Education takes a page from this playbook and exposes children (ok, adults too) to the arts in such an interactive experiential manner. 3. Buildings do accessibility, cleanliness, and welcomeness as well as David Geffen Hall.
