Tonight (last night - whatever) I finally realized one of my childhood dreams, and got to perform at Davies Symphony Hall! I recently joined an orchestra that accompanies the SF Gay Men's Chorus at Davies every year, which I admit was one reason I picked them. Anyway, I thought you'd all like to see the pictures I snapped during run-through... I'm sure many of you have been to Davies, but I doubt you have seen it like this! There is a celeb & other people in the shots, so I might have to remove them later, but I'll post for a little while. Enjoy...

I felt so cool entering here, LOL

Stage right, where the musicians store their instruments - and apparently post a thousand random pictures.

Very nice! My wife sang in a women's chorus that sang with the SFGMC one time. They do fill the room

Glad you both enjoyed them! And yes, they DO fill a room... there was barely an empty seat in the whole theater - way cool.

Great shots and thanks for posting them! I always wondered what was behind the scenes.

I take it you play the violin? Good for you. So do I. Perlman my favorite as well.

Close - viola. I can play violin as well, but haven't really touched it in years. Glad you enjoyed the pics!

I started to guess viola, since the pictures placed you near that position in the orchestra next to the cellos. Either 3rd violin or viola. Good stuff!
