Another great night at the Gallagher-Bluedorn Performing Arts Center! Thanks so much to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony, conductor Jason Weinberger, and special guests Miguel Atwood Ferguson and Gary Kelley for an interesting and inspiring concert that was a delight to both eyes and ears. The visual excitement came not only from the perfect paced presentation of Kelley's art during the Ellington-Gershwin half of the show, but also from most extraordinary view I had of Jason's wonderfully expressive 'dance' as he lead our talented orchestra though each piece. Although my right side row C seat did not afford a full view of Ginadi Zagor's passionate performance on the grand piano during my favorite 'Rhapsody in Blue", I felt the passion in the music. Kelley and 'Blue' provided the perfect climax to the evening!
