People Are Talking: UMS presents Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at Hill Auditorium:
I believe it was to respect the Jewish Sabbath, which would have ended at sun-down on Saturday – thus the concert start-time would have been set so that the musicians of that faith would not have been working during the “official” hours of the Sabbath day. There was a statement concerning this by the UMS on one of their pages or e-mails.
Nice night out. Did the 8:45 start have anything to do with the full moon rising? The symphony was about like watching the tide come in….not a lot of highlights but a very pleasant experience all the same.
