Floriade 2025 Canberra
I went with my boyfriend Gerard to Floriade recently on the way to visiting family. It was interesting to see what flowers were chosen as highlights and to appreciate the colours and smells of such great gardening.
Floriade was a time to relax, go on some rides and dream.
National Capital Orchestra
This was an excellent concert today, attended in Canberra. There was a real contrast between pieces. There were three main pieces, one encore. The first was a world premiere, the second a double bass extremely agile number and the third a popular Dvorak symphony ‘From the New World’. A full orchestra, it was great to witness.
I loved how the conductor mentioned avant garde movement which I had explored briefly in music 101 at uni. The concert music selection was very innovative in the explorations of the concept of ‘New World’. It satisfied my musical appreciation for a while. Here is a review.
