I went to Twilite Orchestra's "Cantabile" Orchestra with  arisuesei on January 29. Yep, it was a concert inspired by the classical compositions used in Nodame Cantabile. It was also my second TO's concert, the first being their "Fantasia" (with compositions from Final Fantasy series). Respectably, they played seriously, so I guess those who wondered whether there would be someone in mongoose costume or orchestra members suddenly took off their shirts to display their S-Oke tees were kind of let down. That, and no Chiaki-senpai, of course. *put a we-want-smexy-Tamaki-Hiroshi banner here*

The concert itself went okay. The much loved conductor, Addie MS, said that Nodame Cantabile helped Indonesian youths, and more youths around the world, to become familiar and later loved classical music. Four guest pianists performed with the orchestra. As for me, I was totally smitten by Levi Gunardi's take on Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2. I joked on his Twitter account that he should be aptly named "Levi Luke - playing piano faster than his shadow."
