At last! The
University of Florida Symphony Orchestra's spring season has come to an end and looking back, I can't believe how many unforgettable memories I have made in this orchestra. I have met so many wonderful people, and I am just so glad that I could be a part of this amazing ensemble for another semester.

Center for the Performing Arts with the University of

Tonight, we performed a concert called
Hymns & Heroes from the Movies in conjunction with the UF Concert Choir and the Gainesville Master Chorale. We played music by Verdi, Mancini, Prokofiev, and of course, the king of movie music, John Williams. It was a concert so full of energy and excitement; I nearly laughed out loud when I saw how many people's faces lit up in the audience when we started to play John William's renowned Duel of the Fates from Episode 1 of Star Wars, The Phantom Menace.
All in all, it has been one crazy semester but this was definitely a great way to end the spring season! What was particularly nice about this concert was that the audience was able to experience something a little different. They didn't just hear plain classically music; they were able to hear some pieces with fire and even some with mourning and reverence. Cheers to that!
