Damn it. You guys showing pictures of each other like that only makes me more jealous that I'm not there.

I'll get there someday. That day being the Tanglewood festival.

Great to see the whole Geisha suite being performed :)

I second that. I had the privilege of hearing the premier at Tanglewood several years back. I have hoped it would be programed into classical concerts somewhat regularly as a concerto-like piece. It has yet to do so, but concerts like these help that cause.

Even if Williams himself had to cancel this concert, and even if the concert program is rather standard (except the GEISHA suite), I'm looking forward to hearing reports from those in attendance.
