Wow! Almost every seat in the vast Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts auditorium was filled! Definitely the most well-attended event in my Vet Tix experience. The Scottsdale Symphonic Orchestra (thanks for the tickets!), led by Seattle guest conductor Daren Weissfisch, delivered a great performance ranging from Offenbach's "Orpheus in the Underworld Overture" to Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries," interspersed with John Williams' well-known scores from Harry Potter and Star Wars! We enjoyed excellent solos by featured orchestra sections and by individual musicians. The conductor engaged the audience, including by inviting an adorable five year old girl up to help him conduct. He amused everyone doing a version of the can-can while conducting at that well-known point in the Offenbach overture. Even a diminutive Darth Vader appeared during the Star Wars Suite, eventually chased off stage by his Darth Vader-attired mom, lol. The orchestra certainly delivered a crowd-pleaser with this concert!
