A visit to the opening night of Cincinnati’s Symphony series drew magnetic crowds to the 1878 burnt-red brick historic landmark, Music Hall. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Hall_(Cincinnati)
All ages flooded through the doors of a sold-out production as the lights flashed and chimes sounded the arrival of piano talent, Lang Lang, to the stage. Hailed the “hottest artist on the classical music planet” by the New York Times.

At age 3, Lang Lang began tickling the ivories. Natural ability propelled a skyrocketing career. And now, 24 years later, Lang Lang’s resume commands the respect of international dignitaries, maestros of renowned Philharmonic Orchestras across the globe, and jazz greats such as Herbie Hancock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MQYhHpqD_AAs the evening evolved, his emotive expression gave feeling to each note. A rhythmic rainbow swirled from the piano cords captivating all in a melodic trance. With a crowd over 3,500 on its feet, cheering an encore performance worthy of Beethoven’s pride, the pop of champagne echoed through the halls calling all to celebrate.
The “Afterburn” party fueled excitement of mad chaos, glasses clinking and toes tapping to the beat of a great band. Reflections of a sensory explosion left attendees with a glazed smile at its conclusion.
