Vancouver Symphony Orchastra at Deer Lake Park

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra had another free outdoor convert tonight. This one was at Deer Lake Park beside Burnaby Lake so we checked it out. I wasn't sure if the venue was near the lake so we didn't bring the kayaks but it was. A few kayakers were listening on the water. 

It was pretty packed and neither of us like crowds so we went on the boardwalk behind the venue beside the lake and those were the best seats in the house. Lots of Water Lilies in that lake. Indigenous to BC. As the sun set you could see it's reflection in one of the towers over looking the lake. 

 

They played a few classical pieces, a couple of opera and several movie scores. Evidently the VSO does a lot of movie scores now. It was nice. In one of the quieter pieces a cool breeze swept in from the lake and the rustling leaves added a nice effect to the music. Tomorrow night they have an opera playing in the park. I hate opera. I like classical and I like the music for operas but the singing drives me crazy.
