Magic, Magic and more Magic! Part II


Sitting backstage or even on-stage during a magic show, one would think it feasible to gain insight into how the "magic" is really happening. Maybe seeing a secret door, a crafty use of mirrors, or the hidden logic behind the act, a person sitting on stage should be able to solve the magical mystery. Well, not so with this symphony musician. We have been spellbound by Lyn Dillies! Even those of us at the front of the orchestra with the best chance to spot the secret cannot. Through a rehearsal and our first concert, we can say the magic is truly that, magic. So, we challenge our regular audience and classical music fans to come down to the Majestic and attempt to solve this enigma. However, I presume that you too will leave the concert in true amazement.

Besides this aspect of the performance, it is remarkable to see a magic show coupled with live symphonic music. With the great music of Mozart, Rossini, Mussorgsky, Holst, etc. performed by the symphony, the brilliance of the lighting at the Majestic, and the showmanship of Lyn, the concert is a spectacular event to behold. Music and Magic, a great combination!
