LCSO to Perform Hits from the Silver
Screen by ADDISON DEWITT THEATRE CRITIC LAS CRUCES, NM — Ah! Dear patrons of the melodic arts, brace yourselves for an auditory feast. To those of you who do not read, attend the theater, or listen to unsponsored radio, I present to you the newly invigorated Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra. Under the baton of the illustrious Maestro Ming Luke, the LCSO shall summon forth melodies of such profundity that they shall carve rivulets of emotion upon your memories. With each note we shall be transported to the iconic realm of cinematic wonders. From Bond to Potter, from Wicked to Star Trek, the strings shall whisper tales of passion; the brass, herald valor and triumph; and the woodwinds, they shall dance like wisps of stardust. Ladies and gentlemen, as we prepare to witness this sublime spectacle, let us not merely attend but be present. 24
Let us not only hear, but listen. For in the ephemeral embrace of these notes, we shall find ourselves transported to a realm where time and space are but trivial constructs in the face of pure, unadulterated artistry. So, esteemed readers, adorn yourselves in the elegance befitting such a soirée and secure your tickets posthaste. Let us collectively bask in the luminous glow of the Silver Screen for an evening that shall undoubtedly solidify the LCSO’s rightful ascendancy as the maestro of our city's cultural landscape.
