Laredo Philharmonic Orchestra January 29, 2012 “Movie Magic”
Guest Musician : Pip Clarke (violinist) performed the Concerto by Lee Actor . This concert took part at the Texas A&M International University Recital Hall
The Laredo Philharmonic played..Overture to Die Fledermaus and Beethoven’s 6th symphony “The Pastorale” from 1940′s Disney’s Fantasia.
This in many ways was a very magical concert. As a Photographer… it is really tough to photograph with flash off, ISO up the roof with poor lighting and to mention that
when Maestro Townsend is conducting sometimes at a very fast rate the camera is sometimes is unable to capture and freeze the shots. Oh boy , Oh boy… not in this
concert and so it happens during the Beethoven 6th symphony …. all the shots came out perfect and sharp…!!! To add to this….. was Maestro Townsend’s completion of
conducting all of Beethoven’s Symphony!!! What a great success!!! Thank you Ludwig…. I certainly felt Ludwig’s presence this day….
In anyway so happy that
in this Concert Maestro accomplished a dream, not only for him but for his entire family.. just a wonderful thing and so so happy that the photos will have very lasting memories for them and the LPO.
Ahhh what can I say about the LPO….. thanks to them dearly….who they have adopted me and accepted with no complaints…. and make feel part of a wonderful Orchestra. Truly blessed to be a part of
something so great. Who else get to photograph great musicians , who else gets to create photos with an open canvas???? Only me!!! It is the only place where I can truly be myself and do what I love to do~!
so thanks everyone for making me feel special!! Love to all~!! Here are some of the photos taken this memorable evening~~~!! Forever embedded in my heart! The Last photo I am proud to say that is
far one of the best shots I ever gotten. Photo in time , frozen in time to tell a story~~~ !! All Photos by Terri Volpe – Laredo Philharmonic in Laredo, Texas USA All rights reserved. grangel1@live.com

a short note about the photo above…
In search of the “Super Moon” I was looking to the
east side….. waiting for the moon to show .
Looking to the east and then I looked to west….
The Sun.. this was the view from my point of view ,
I am facing west looking at the sun… and just over the border to Mexico.
Amazing… just astonished…. and really was not expecting to see the sun in it’s
full glory. The Moon from my point was not all that big…not at least from where I was
standing… but I am so glad…. I got a photo of the Sun… way larger than the moon.
As if the Sun and Moon were competing about who would show the biggest.
