Season of Joy - Phoenix Symphony

12/05/2008 Season’s of Joy The Phoenix Symphony with Michael Christie, the Virginia G. Piper Music Director preformed ‘Christmas Pops’ last night in incredible downtown Phoenix. The downtown area is really coming into its own with abundant parking and the ability to get you in and out of the area with ease. A wonderful time was had by all. The Symphony was joined by the Phoenix Girls Chorus and the Phoenix Symphony Chorus with wonderful renditions of Holiday music. What a great event for the Chorus’s to participate in and the music was worth the listen. The Symphony is reaching out to its patrons with a variety of music, entertainment and a little history along the way. Did you know that White Christmas by Irving Berlin was written in early 1940 while sitting poolside at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona? In all our sunshine! The fun was extended by the conductor having a young Kaleen, just an audience member come up and direct the symphony. At around 11 years of age I’m sure she will always remember the night at the symphony. The finale was all persons in attendance standing and singing White Christmas together. It was a great finish to a great night. Someone even said “Merry Christmas” in the men’s room and we all know that is supposed to be as quiet as an elevator. Thanks to the Phoenix Symphony for a wonderful night. http://www.phoenixsymphony.org/ Terry Forsberg RE/MAX Fine Properties Phoenix AZ
