Last weekend, I volunteered to a benefit concert symphony at the Benaroya Hall. Being centered in downtown Seattle, it's always nice to drive in the city. I haven't been there since my 5th grade field trip, but I've always remembered that the atmosphere is lovely and grand.
The symphony, choirs, dancing, and illusions were amazing! "Firelight" is the theme of the show, and wildly imaginative illusions were created through technology and contemporary dancing. Also, guest singers Sweet Water and Shawn Smith sang beautifully. This is not your typical symphony with only instrumentals, and a perfect time to take a nap. This concert specifically benefited the Seattle Children's Hospital with cancer research. LED candles were given to everyone in the audience, and those who have had cancer or known a friend, or family member, were to raise their light in support for the continued research for the cure of cancer that can be achieved someday. It was even more touching when a patient at Seattle Children's sang a song, "Family Means Everything." For the under class-men, this is a great event to attend and even volunteer. You can check it out next year and so forth as it is held annually.
I also got to see the Video Production crew who has been helping film the event!
Peace,
Karissa
