I acquired 2 tickets from work today to see the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields orchestra at The OC Performing Arts Center on Thursday night! I'm so excited!
In preparation, I've been reading up on The Academy, which is named after St. Martin in the Fields church in London where the orchestra gave their first concert in 1959.
Isn't it beautiful?
Not a religious person myself, but I do love old churches. So much history & beauty in the architecture.

The Academy is a conductorless ensemble and the most recorded chamber orchestra in the world. Unlike most major UK orchestras, the Academy receives no direct government subsidy and relies solely on donations for its continued success.
Now to figure out a most sophisticated ensemble.....
