Music- Orchestra Suisse Romande

Conducted by Elim Chan, along with Violinist Renaud Capucon, the OSR performed Elizabeth Ogonek and Richard Strauss, Serge Prokofiev. The show lasted around 90 minutes with one interval. I got the best view seat and could spot a lot of people from ihied. This is my first show where a lady is conducting the orchestra. I've attended the show where choir was lead by women but I never got a chance to attend a show where a woman is conducting the orchestra. I'm glad, I witnessed Elim Chan conducting the show. Defying the odds and having her own sensibilities in conducting the orchestra, she led the show with great rigor. At the end of the show when the show got ended, the whole hall was silent for nearly 30 odd seconds without a single noise. A complete silence to soak into the magic created by all the musicians. I relived the magic of silence and enjoyed it more now. When I had received this silence in my colourless performance, I couldn't perceive it. Now, I realised that silence is very important to absorb the not-so-silence part. 

Shruti couldn't join the show. It's better to save invitations for those who are keen
