Rare experience

Dear Editor:

My wife and I moved to Drayton three years ago – loving it.

As a retiree of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (42 years) one of the most interesting (and newer) initiatives of the orchestra was the screening of Hollywood movies in Roy Thompson Hall on a big screen with the orchestra playing the sound track.

One of the best, and my last, was West Side Story. This season they are showing the following: Home Alone with performances Dec. 3 (7:30pm) and Dec. 4 (2pm and 7:30pm).

Some may still be available but not for too long. Call TSO Patron Services at 416-598-3375

Trekking into TO can be a chore but for this film would be well worth it. Hearing a live, major league orchestra playing the sound track in a real concert hall is an experience you shouldn’t pass up. It would also make a fantastic and unique Christmas gift.

Don Kuehn, Drayton
