Excellent concert Sunday May 7, 2017, with awesome pianist VICTOR LI! Power, finesse, & artistry were obvious in this young man. Hard to believe that this mature virtuoso was just finishing 12th grade. Is a recording of the Tschiakovsky performance available? Thank you, thank you Leslie Holmes and Wellesley Symphony Orchestra for bringing this talent to the Mass Bay College auditorium Sunday afternoon. [Do not publish the following: Unfortunately, your ushers were slow and not too helpful bringing in handicapped patrons. After Mrs Holmes started her excellent background talk on Prokofiev and Tschaikovsky, other noisy patrons were admitted. Their loud talk was very disruptive for the preconcert lecture. Consider opening from 2 – 2:20 pm then closing the doors from 2:20 – 2:45 pm while the preconcert lecture is underway, perhaps, to minimize patron chit chats and preconcert mayhem.]
