The Pasadena Symphony, conductor Jorge Mester and pianist Howard Shelley staged an "open, working rehearsal of music by Mozart" Friday night for Art Night.I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside the Pasadena Civic Auditorium but it was okay to shoot in the lobby, where this video presentation showed the rehearsal going on inside. I was disappointed, but I contented myself to photograph a particular lamp above the stairwell twenty or thirty times when I discovered I could hear the orchestra especially well while standing beneath it.
If that was a rehearsal, surely a performance will transport me higher than the stairs.

I love the picture, it just looks like great framing.
An interesting picture, and i can hear the muisic in my mind!
I'm getting very sick and tired of all the people with all their rules about taking photos!
I used to be polite and ask.
Now, not so polite.
I turn off the flash and snap away - usually people are none the wiser.
And I figure, they have tongues in their heads, they can ask me to stop if they don't like it.
(That's my vicious streak coming out!)
So, you are going to the concert?
I used to have a part-time job as an usher at the Melbourne Concert Hall - every night I went to work and watched a concert - it was wonderful!
Thanks Jim, I have a soft spot for this one, too.
Hi Casdok--sometimes I wish people could hear my photos. This is definitely one of those. (Then there are the ones I wish people could smell, but we needn't go into that now.)
Ararat, I know how you feel. I get frustrated, too. I try to respect peoples' wishes and still get good candid shots. It's not always easy.
