Tripping with Sonoran Dispatch
by AnnElise on 1/31/24The Van Buren - PhoenixAt a whim, Tickets were bought for The Van Buren. Lights off, orchestra on! And then you elope with Wes Anderson into the music-scape of his whimsical stories. The Sonoran Dispatch was a delight, an all around cabaret experience. French songs were performed with vim and vigor and humor, the harpsichordist sounds were eerie, the trumpets a wake-up call, the hammered dulcimer a Hungarian elegy Puszta ride. Everything was a well orchestrated hodgepodge of musical flavors—a trip that lasts.
