I’ve only been a fan for like 3 months? And I managed to splurge on a presale ticket for almost front row seats! What was I even thinking, first a violin, and now an actual concert!
Having watched a fair few of their videos now, I had a vague idea of how their live performances would be – super relaxed, possibly some audience interaction, and basically a mix of comedy and classical performance. They really are pretty good at live performances and interacted well with the audience! The icebreaker was their violin charades at the beginning, and then of course came long the Ling Ling exam.
The most mind blowing thing? I had no idea how good they were at hula hooping! I mean it’s obvious once I saw it that they practiced a lot and probably did it in each performance, but the fact that it was live and that there are moments where it looked like they’d lose their hooping momentum – just like my recent interest in watching ballet, these live performances are so riveting! Not only that, but all of the audience felt the same way, we audibly gasped and cheered throughout the whole concert!
There were viola jokes aplenty, a jab at Brett’s lack of perfect pitch, some sacrilegious speed, and overall a very entertaining night!
Now the question is, should I go see an actual classic concert one day? Or should I go practice 40 hours a day? Why not both!
