On October 1st, 1928, Tennessee
Theatre had its first opening for public in Knoxville downtown. It was designed
by Chicago architects Graven and Mayger with Spanish-Moorish style interior.
The internal style incorporates French-style chandeliers, Italian terrazzo
flooring in the Grand Lobby, and Asian influences in the carpet and drapery. Today’s
Theatre provides us the classical music, vintage films, dance, Broadway, and
stellar performances…
On Monday, we watched a concert there with
our classmates in the afternoon, which was organized by our English teacher as an
outreach activity. The manager of theatre told that there would be another free
concert from children symphony orchestra in that evening. It is a very good
opportunity to bring our 1.5 years old son and my parents to experience those
events. They enjoyed a lot of the performance and the internal style. The
performance is quite impressive from different children symphony orchestra.
I do think it is not an easy task to
achieve the consistent and accurate performance by so many children. I admire
them and hope my son would learn from them.
