Extra 3 - Kremlin Performance

After Kremlin's rehearsal, they returned to the stage 45min later, dressed up, ready for their performance.

Music: String only orchestral, most pieces moving at a quick pace and featuring solos, especially those featuring Mr. Borok.

Performers: Uniformally dressed but not black tux's and dresses. Not all of them seem to enjoy playing the music in this feature, but a few smiled continuously after successful phrases. Guest soloist untouched in tone quality and finger dexterity

Time-Space: Someone behind me had obviously been sipping the whiskey pre-concert. The solo performance of Dallas Symphony Orchestra's concertmaster seemed to make time drag out longer simply to hear him play just a little more.

Audience: About a fifth students, the rest older music appreciators, half of which make the monetary sacrifice to support the arts.

Before the concert, people who had donated to an arts cause recently were asked to stand. At the reception, the few faces I recognized from the audience belonged to this group. I did not notice any students at the reception or any of the performers. The guest concertmaster stayed to talk in the concert hall, but never made it to hoblitzer. I can't say much about the reception, but the concert brought together a few people with the music of Slavic roots. Emanuel Borok of the DSO joined Kremlin and conversed in Russian with the other performers. It was apparent that they all enjoyed the music and the culture responsible for its creation.
