Last Friday we took Jimmy downtown to see a concert at Pritzker Pavillion. They Sinfonietta was doing Holst's "The Planets," which Jimmy had been learning about recently, so we thought he'd like that. He'd also never seen a symphony (and I think, neither had I), so we knew he'd be interested in that, too. As you can see in the photo of Jimmy they had a big screen above the musicians. (The other photo is from the Millennium Mark website.) While they played each of the pieces (Holst did a piece for each planet to capture its personality), they had images of the planets and so on. It was very cool, and Jimmy loved watching the violinists play in sync. He was excited that there were about 20 violinists there!
