Members of the New York Philharmonic tune their instruments prior to the start of the July 7 concert at Bethel Woods Center For The Arts.Peter & The Wolf Philharmonic Style
What better mix can one get with the outstanding cast of Bramwell Tovey, Kevin Kline and the oldest symphony orchestra in the United Stated (the New York Philharmonic) performing for the second year in a row on July 7 at the best outdoor musical venue in the world (Bethel Woods Center For The Arts).
It just doesn't get any better with the Philharmonic performing The Washington Post by John Philip Sousa, the Symphonic Dances from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein, Peter and the Wolf, Op 67 by Sergei Prokofiev and the 1812 Overture Op. 49 by Pyotr Ilich Tchaikovsky.
Just love Bramwell Tovey as he brings to the stage that extra touch as conductor of the Philharmonic which continues to play a leading role in American musical life.
Tovey who is also an accomplished pianist and exceptional communicator again praised Bethel Woods as the "finest in the world" and congratulated "Mr and Ms. Gerry for this outstanding facility."
Kevin Kline who was the narrator for the Philharmonic's musical presentation of Peter and the Wolf brought that extra class to the stage at Bethel Woods and the professionalism he showed clearly defined why he is a graduate of The Juilliard School and why he has such success in his three-decade long history with The Public Theatre.
There just isn't enough acclaim to go around for the New York Philharmonic....they are the best of the best.
And whether you are sitting in the 4,800 seat covered pavilion or enjoying concerts on the 12,000 seat natural sloping lawn one can sit back and easily inhale this state-of-the-art musical and cultural center at what is one of music's most revered and legendary sites in the world.
As noted we enjoy Bramwell Tovey and that extra entertainment value he brings to the entertainment world. He was giving a little lesson to the July 7 audience and during a brief description of some of the instruments in the orchestra he said, "we even have a cow bell" and asked the cow bell musician to ring the bell. The musician rang the bell and Tovey jokingly added that this takes eight years of college.
Kline in his narration of the bird, duck, cat and the wolf during the Philharmonic's rendition of Peter and the Wolf kept the audience intently listening for what was gong to happen next.......you just had to be there to enjoy it.
We are so fortunate to be able to live in Sullivan County and have available to us the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
