Rock Symphony!


For its entire history, Justin and I have attended the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra's annual "rock symphony," an opportunity for classical musicians to play popular songs. Elijah enjoyed this year's British Invasion theme very much, becoming a Who fan and ending the night relaxing to "Hey, Jude." Some years they have cirque perfomers; every year, they have Jeans and Classics join them vocally. It's always fun--a means of enjoying some familiar music in a new way.

If you go, know that the event is part of the "pops" series, so you can tote in food and snacks. You can also wear pretty much anything--jeans are fine, as are thematic outfits. It's held at the Salem Civic Center. If you want to dance a bit, get a seat on the floor; if you like watching all the "goings on," sit in the stands. Intrigued by the concept, the symphony, and/or the annual theme? You should go! Next year, the theme is Queen hits!
