And I was there!!! :)Yeah, I had the privilege to be able to be there to attend the Orchestra.. :)
All thanks to my dear brother & friend, James..
He had 2 tickets to the Orchestra as his friend wasn't able to make it for the event..
Thus when he offered the tickets to whoever's interested, I immediately informed him I was interested in going for it..
Being someone who's always interested in anything related to the Arts, music, Drama, film, theatre, entertainment, etc.. I wouldn't miss this chance of attending an Orchestra held at the Esplanade.. :)
The only person that I know & came to my mind that would appreciate classical music, besides me, would be Mike.. ( no other guys I know, appreciates classical music except him.. )
Thus I informed him about this event & he immediately offered to go attend it with me.. :)
I collected the tickets from James on Monday night & guess how much was each ticket?!
They were $72.00 each!!! And they were Circle 2 Seats!!! Expensive, ya? :p
Anyway, we enjoyed ourselves last evening at the Esplanade..
The Spanish Orchestra played beautifully..
There was a Tenor - Francisco Vas, who sang with the Orchestra..
Impressive voice.. :)
There were also special performances by our very own local ; talented violinist, Min Lee..
The funds raised from this event was for the charity organization, MILK ( Mainly I Love Kids ), that gives hope to disadvantaged children by funding their education, care & guidance, medical treatment or special needs and guiding them back to mainstream society.
MILK gives them the opportunities which they otherwise would not have so that they can get out of the downward cycle that their circumstances have destined them to.
MILK helps children from troubled low-income families or who are born sick or physically challenged; children who just need a chance at life. MILK identifies and helps children and youths who "fall between the cracks" - those who have genuine needs but are unable to receive help through the usual channels..
