Since we were already downtown on Saturday for Changing the World, we also went to the TSO. I wasn’t really interested in the programme, which featured violinist Christian Tetzlaff playing a violin concerto written for him, and Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No. 5. Here’s The Star’s review.

A bonus for going was that there was a Tsoundcheck party after the event. Our seats exited on the stage of the band for the party, so we were able to get seats. Although there’s really no benefit since all that was there was chocolate. In fact, it was really weird sitting there while people invaded our tabletop for chocolate.

Peter Oundjian made an appearance and I hoped to get a picture with him. That didn’t happen, but I did take a snap of him (a bit dark because I was trying out bouncing off a white card).

In fact, as I took the picture, Tsoundcheck person asked if I was the photographer from Eye Weekly. Nope – and then asked me if I was the friend of the other Tsoundcheck person – no again. Then they asked if I wanted to photograph the event. I guess they’re looking for volunteers?
