Applause

“Friday’s program definitely had something for just about everyone: movie lovers, fans of some classic TV shows from years ago, those who like big, sweeping orchestral tunes and those who like the really great songs that came out of some of the James Bond movies. And if you walked out of Dawson Auditorium afterward humming some of those pieces, well, you wouldn’t have been the only one….It all added up to a concert with plenty of fun surprises for its audience.”
