I went to a free concert by Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra (APO) on Tuesday night. I was very excited at first as I successfully booked two tickets online. Since my housemates will come back home late, I invited my colleague to go with me instead.
Well... the concert was not so nice because it appears to be like a debut for three compositions of three Auckland musicians. The first composer is a 18-year old male. He composed the orchestra music when he was 16. I don't really enjoy his music because it is very very contemporary. The second composer is the APO composer, and his composition uses a lot of percussion. The third one is quite interesting because the composer played the pipe organ and the music was very grand. What caught my attention was the conductor. He is from the US and he graduated from The Julliard Music School, which is one of the most prestigious music school in the world. Awesome-ness!
I don't know whether because its a free concert or its the culture, the seats were almost full. And believe it or not, they will either bring wine along or eat ice-cream during the intermediate. *Roll eyes*

Talking about music, I cannot stand NZ radio station. Its so boring!! They repeat the same songs again and again and again for the whole day. So I basically listen to Lady Gaga's Alejandro for four times a day (which is sooooooo annoying!!! Ale-alejandro Ale-alejandro~~~~ DOH!!!!), Usher's Oh My Gosh for five times a day (very annoying too!!! Oh oh oh oh oh oh... endless 'Ohs'), Train's Hey, Soul Sister for six times a day (why sister and not brother? =.=)... etc etc. Give me variaties!!!!
