Saturday Night Fever (w/Élizabeth Blouin-Brathwaite) At Festival Classica

The headline event of the Festival Classica each year is the 'Classica Rocks!' show on Saturday night.  It involves the Classica orchestra, under the musical direction and arrangements of Simon Fournier and Peter Brennan, along with a full orchestra taking on the musical works of a famous groups.  Previous shows have featured the songs of The Rolling Stone, Elton John and Pink Floyd.  This year, the show featured the works of The Bee-Gee's and other notable disco hits from the era.  There was a special guest vocalist for the show, Élizabeth Blouin-Brathwaite, a talented vocalist and musician who you could say grew up on the stage as the child of two famous musicians.  The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/800sec, ISO 1600 at 27mm.  Here are several more photographs I took of the show.

I actually wasn't planning on photographing this show.  I was at another location taking photographs with My Lovely Assistant and we had planned just to stop by and listen.  However, I have a bit of a hard head from time to time and I managed to sneak down near the front of the stage and sat myself on the concrete, trying not to block the view of the people who were sitting behind me. Afterwards, I walked around the site a little bit to try and find a nice view of the stage and voila!  We have another musical update for the blog.
