Mozart and more

Tonight I've been to a classical concert at Dwor Artusa in the main square; a performance of Mozart's overture, Chopin's opus 11 and Schumann's 3rd symphony by Torun's symphony orchestra.  Chopin's piece was accompanied by a special guest pianist who got lots!!! of applause at the end, he went out and came back 5 times to more applause, I thought he was really enjoying the attention - but apparently it's expected, and he was given a nice bunch of flowers, I've never seen a man receive flowers before.  The whole night was really fantastic, conducted by Tokyo's renowned Mitsuyoshi Oikawa! Nic nie wiem about classical music (so obviously I've never heard of him) but apparently he's very famous, he's involved a lot in the British proms, and he was presented with a special gift by the concert hall, plus more flowers (3 bunches!) and a good slow clap at the end - however, he disappeared from the backstage area when they were trying to present it to him; I enjoyed the presenter's dig at him in English 'you were easier to find in Tokyo than Torun!' 

Good music followed by good food and good company = a good night!
