Captivating….Maestro Jason Tramm brings beautiful music to the greatest Auditorium. Paul Goldfinger photos. 8/29/22 Click once each to enlarge all images.
It was a warm night for the Sacred Masterworks concert. All the doors were open in the Great Auditorium, so occasional cool breezes came in.
8/28/22 The orchestra was superb with marvelous musicians, especially the first violinist.
The Masterworks Concert was wonderful. Jason Tramm selected a varied program that was delightful, and the audience, spread out over the giant room, was appreciative. The selection led from one amazing piece to another.
And the cast was perfect: vocalists, orchestra, organ, choir—The Camp Meeting has done it again!
In the park, a grandmother danced to the music with two little girls. The concert was the back-drop. Paul Goldfinger photo.

I was seated up high in the rear. A few people brought small children. They listened and then quickly got restless, but even a taste of fine music for a child…. But the audience was not restless; hardly anyone left their seat to step outside. There was no intermission, and the music flowed from one to the other like a soft stream bubbling through the woods.
As I stepped outside, a woman approached me, wondering about my camera and what I was doing. She was so taken with the amazing event–she said, “I can’t wait to see the pictures.”
So I gave her a Blogfinger card and now I was challenged to figure out how to overcome the dark outside, but the musicians had already done that in their way.
On the way home I met some neighbors—-two literary women, Shelly and Perdita: writers and music lovers who were ecstatic about the concert. Shelly is a veteran of the OG Choir. They were happy in the afterglow of Jason’s magical accomplishment.
This isn’t from the show, but it is Ronald Naldi:
“Torna!”
