After lunch, students boarded three coach buses for the big city. The first stop was the in the Santa Monica Mountains, with its panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the vast expanse of metropolitan Los Angeles. Students wandered the grounds, gazing upon world-renowned paintings, illuminated manuscripts, Greek and Roman sculptures, photographs, and other works of art, including some by C茅zanne, Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and Bernini. They also found time to take plenty of pictures around the beautiful gardens, fountains, and outdoor patios.
One student even got the curator to sign his program!
At about 5:00 p.m. the group re-boarded the buses for a trip to the Hollywood Bowl, where students feasted on some 53 pizzas at the picnic grounds before settling in for the Los Angeles Philharmonic檚 of Tchaikovsky檚 Piano Concerto No. 1 and 淢usic of Hollywood檚 Golden Age. To celebrate the 10t0th anniversary of the hiring of the Philharmonic檚 conductor, Gustavo Dudamel, the concert concluded with a surprise and fabulous fireworks display:
淚t was most spectacular fireworks display I檝e very seen it, perfectly synched with the music, said one prefect. 淎 lot of people said that was their favorite part of the night.
The concert ended fairly late, and students prayed the Rosary on the bus ride home. They made back to campus past midnight but that didn檛 stop the committed basketball players from meeting on the court, yet again, for a 6:00 a.m. game! Today檚 will focus on Pascal檚 渨ager and Fabre檚 observations of order in nature.
Stay tuned for more!
