Missed it by that much....

Just discovered that the Cleveland Orchestra, at The Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH, did a whole SciFi themed performance on August 16. One hopes that it was recorded to be released at a later date.

Not that I would have been able to go see it, as my travelling days are curtailed til next year, but I would have liked to have shared the info here before it was too late.

Nevertheless, I will share the info here even though it is too late.

The Sith Training Temple website took photos, pretty cool, view them here:
