The second half of the program was accompanied with an experimental app, "Encue". It shows real-time program notes, describing the pieces as they progress. They first tried it out at an open rehearsal back in January, but I guess there was some tweaking to be done for the general performance.
This was nice, but I needed to see the canon and fireworks! :)
You can install the app from iTunes for Apple, and Google Play for Android. You have to be at the venue to download the show notes, though.
