Mariachi Concert

This evening, the four of us decided to attend the Grant Park Symphony Concert in Millenium Park. It was HOT!! However, most of the music was extremely enjoyable and we had a good time.

Millenium Park has so much to offer but my favorite part is the Pritzker Pavilion. An outdoor concert venue that is simply amazing. Here are some pics.

This is above the lawn portion of the pavilion. Not sure if it is coverable or not for rainy days....but who knows. It has speakers hung throughout for excellent sound production.
This is part of the stage believe it or not. It is very decorative. I was not able to get the whole thing in the shot from where we sat but hopefully, I will get a farther shot to share.
This is a shot of the stage. As you can see above, the decorations from the pic above continue to the stage. So maybe that kind of gives you an idea.

This was the highlight for me. The Mariachi group is called Mariachi Nuevo Tecalitlan. They sounded awesome!! It truly was an amazing experience to see a group like this in person. The latino people around were constantly screaming out and yelping, just like you would think of a typical mariachi concert. It was fun.

We have our first Graduate Ensemble Concert tomorrow night. We are playing Lincoln Portrait by Aaron Copland. Truly an impressive piece. Feel free to watch below:)
