It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
Albert Einstein
I grew up a Red Sox fan. I grew up going to Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts and the Science Museum and Symphony Hall and going to the Common, walking around. My whole family at different times lived and worked in Boston.
James Spader
It has been said that every man must properly pay the fiddler. Alas, in my case, it happened that an entire symphony orchestra had to be subsidized.
John Barrymore
While our country has made great strides in breaking down the barriers which for so long denied equal opportunity to all Americans, we are not yet the beautiful symphony of brotherhood of Dr. King`s dream.
Adam Schiff
Whenever I heard the song of a bird and the answering call of its mate, I could visualize the notes in scale, all built up within my consciousness as a natural symphony.
Andrew Metrick
Whenever I heard the song of a bird and the answering call of its mate, I could visualize the notes in scale, all built up within my consciousness as a natural symphony.
Maria Shriver
We`re not saying we`re the pros from Dover, ... This is just something that`s not being done here and it`s very important. A modern and sophisticated city needs this kind of theatre in the same way that it needs a symphony orchestra or an art gallery -- t...
John Wright
This is an important milestone both for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and the American orchestra industry. For the first time, an American orchestra is making available its archives on iTunes and other commercial download sites, finally realizing the p...
Robert Levine
There may be music they`re familiar with from the movies or something like that. And it sounds so much better played by a full symphony. ... I sing along in my mind and love it when they play Broadway.
Susan Jones
New Year`s Eve, we`re going to be doing a concert with the Philadelphia Orchestra in Symphony Hall. It makes me feel good, because of all the people they could have had, they wanted me! We do have to do a little work with the rhythm section.
Barbara Cook
It was really amazing. I mean, he`d never mentioned that he played in the symphony, like serious violin playing, not fiddle playing. And he just blew us away.
Guy Clark
It feels like my job is to support people. I support great artists. When I worked with a symphony, I sat in the third chair, not the first chair.
Nile Rodgers
In the golden half-light of a midsummer`s evening, the sort where any kind of magic can occur, and often does, in the midst of a party held in a wild and rambling garden, stood Pierre, teetering on highly unsuitable heels, surrounded by a symphony of over...
Sophie Dahl
I`ve been playing music all my life, from being a choir soloist at Symphony Hall as a youngster to playing in bands through high school and college at Kent State. Went in the service at 17, out before I was 21.
Arthur Godfrey
I remember when we did a concert after the 9/11 tragedy ? a performance of Beethoven`s Ninth Symphony ? everybody just rose up 10 notches above what they normally could do ? and it was a great performance.
Robert Hanson
God comes to us in theater in the way we communicate with each other, whether it be a symphony orchestra, or a wonderful ballet, or a beautiful painting, or a play. It`s a way of expressing our humanity.
Julie Harris
Every graduate at the conservatoire is able to compose a Symphony, and maybe it will even receive a performance. But to write a melody which is sung and played by hundreds of interpreters is something one really has to be born to - ideally in America.
Wojciech Kilar
Bringing the Elgin Symphony Orchestra, fabulous guest vocalists and this super-sized chorus together to perform Beethoven`s Ninth reflects the nature of this revolutionary piece -- it requires all 240 people on stage to do justice to the power and magnifi...
Robert Hanson
And over the last ten years, after my work with the Brodsky Quartet, I had the opportunity to write arrangements for chamber group, chamber orchestra, jazz orchestra, symphony orchestra even.
Elvis Costello
Just the thought of a rap version of Beethoven`s Fifth Symphony or `Achy, Breaky Heart` is bound to make people smile.
Anthony Kennedy
