The Western Piedmont Symphony, Hickory's own professional symphony, presented its spring performance downtown at Union Square on April 27, 2014
The show consisted of 18 different songs played before an enthusiastic crowd. I don’t do crowd estimates but I asked a number of people what they thought and got answers ranging from 500 to 800.
Most of the songs were lively and were clearly designed to blow the last vestiges of winter and its long, cold, pollen-filled spring mess out of the city.
A lot of people brought their own lawn chairs, a large number also brought picnic food and the local restaurants were also serving food. Wine and craft beers were available and it all added up to a festive occasion. Audience members “conducted” along with the maestro, kicked back, swayed, sashayed and even danced.
