a night at the orchestra

Just got back home from a lovely evening with two friends -- after dinner in Vieux Lyon, we went to the beautiful Auditorium to attend a free concert for students. The conductor is a woman from Estonia and she was very entertaining to watch and the music was just lovely. The first was a very modern piece (composed just last year, in fact) and the second was a classic Tchaikovsky. The Auditorium in the Part Dieu neighborhood, right next to the Centre Commercial and is a lot bigger inside than it seems. There must have been thousands of students there tonight making for a pretty amazing sight. A few weeks ago I bought a "Pass Culturel" which is only available to students and gives access to 7 theater productions for only 35 euros. Going to the concert tonight made me really want to start looking into plays to go to, so hopefully I'll be writing more very soon about the theater scene here in Lyon...
