1 word. EPIC.

It was the greatest symphony i ever heard

Cant get the tune "hope and memory" or "concerning hobit" out of my mine.

Omg, the soprano soloist was awesome, her voice

then there was this indian kid who sang like a girl ( in a good way )

And the children choir was awesome!!

too bad they didnt sing pinpin's solo from LOTR3.

The guy who sang aragon solo suck

I really want to hear Gondor and Rohan theme live

went for the friday evening performance, have drop all hopes of getting the tickets but was lucky when someone sold us the tix becoz of schedule conflict.

This gonna be my best orchestra performance i ever attend.
All the best scores were played thru out the evening and wat a wondeful spectacle.
seeing how 30 ppl playing different instruments is just amazing.

the only flaw is the sittings where my seats were located on the 3rd floor upper circle. (the highest floor)
My bro and I were having hard time hearing the soft scores becoz of the distance between the stage n the seats.
But during the fast paced scores, we were blown away by the hit hard tempo. The huruk-hai theme is EPIC.

Wonder why the more expensiv the tix, the further our seats are. How we wanted to get the rm60 which located infront of the stage.

'BelowAverage' which seats have u brought?

cause 60 too front cant see anything.

more expensive, more behind you seat, more view you get. somemore further u seat, better sound.

WHY? cause if u sit too front, the strings sound might over power the other sound while sitting behind more balance =D!

I sit at the middle, 180 ( most expensive, no other ticket left)

I love hope and memory, which is the part where gandalf ride the horse with pinpin to go to minas tirif!

I think the baritone suck( the guy who sang the aragon part), the rest was awesome!

the middle seat sure is the best location.

yea true my rm110 seat get to see the whole view of the stage, but the sound has soften because is just way too high up.

haha at least we get to hear a Elvish language with a Malaysian slang.

lol!

Isn't student price just RM 15?

Yea Anna sang well during her part, but she didnt sing "May It Be"
at 1st, i was wondering who was that lady covering her head and face with her cloth sitted next to the conductor.
Her behaviour on stage was kinda weird, then suddenly she pop up and sang her song.

So does the kid from the children choir who gave us a scare when his voice start to go abit off tune at da beginning.
We was like, ohh boy this is a bad time for him to break his voice into a man.
But da the end, he did pull all the strings back and did a great job.




yeah i too just only found out is only RM15 for student price.
We are more like the last min attendance who willing to but the tickets at any price.

i knew anna was singing cause i bought the booklet. but when i saw the indian kid singing, i was like, where is anna

ya lo,i scan through but didnt see may it beT_T
