1/3 of the way done! Or is it 3/9?

With Week One done, we look back on those first concerts with admiration. They were all absoultely fantastic and each brought some great moments! These include:

•  A record day of non-stop tickets sales on Tuesday, with a full and happy opening night! 
• The premiere of the voted-in opening overture: Overture to Nabucco!
• 5 minute standing ovation for the Faust Symphony on Thursday night, a real treat to all who attended!
• An incredibly full house on Saturday, who were delighted by the magic of Star Wars, the excitement of the "William Tell Overture" and the tender romance of "La Boheme".

So, you might ask: what lies in store for these next two weeks? With a breathless first week, we are a third of the way through -- but for many, it might seem more like there are still 6 concerts to work through! However, each and every concert is programmed to be a delightful and exciting musical experience, for the both the audience and the orchestra. And Week 2 will be no different! 

Stay tuned to the official blog of the PMF for more insights and stories from this week's concerts and happenings! This week will also include some fun facts about Berlioz and Liszt, our feature composers, and maybe even another "Intern's Adventures" installment, plus get the scoop on some new (ish) faces to join our stage next week!
