The first of two performances of “The Planets” by the Beaverton Symphony Orchestra was last night, and it was a great success.  I am no expert on music, so I won’t comment on that, except to say that the piano solo by Eloise Kim was magnificent.  It was just the way I love to hear the piano played, with great skill and even greater passion.

But I particularly enjoyed the videos of the planets that was projected during the performance of Holst’s classic composition.  Congratulations to Paul Hanau on a great job of compiling and “animating” these NASA images.

If you missed it, there will be another performance Sunday, March 13, at 3PM.  See http://beavertonsymphony.org/

I showed some of my astro-photos in the lobby during intermission, and that was also great fun.  I apologize for the poor quality of the photos below, and for not getting a picture of the hall (which is very nice).  I’ll be there for the Sunday concert also, and look forward to seeing you there.
