A Night at the Moulin Rouge

Hollywood Bowl fireworks are a welcome pleasure at the finale of a great night of music.
I set off to the bowl on Saturday night armed with a French themed picnic basket and wine and the bowl did not disappoint this Francophile.  Thomas Wilkins, conductor of the Hollywood Bowl orchestra, chose some wonderful pieces on a cool and almost sold-out night.  Paris Combo reunited after a five year break was entertaining and rhythmic, followed by the high kicks and near acrobatics of dancers from the Moulin Rouge. With only one more Bowl event scheduled, Saturday, September 24th, Rouge reminded issued in the end of summer.
