Here we go again....
November 11, the
Immaculata Symphony.
Rhapsody in Blue, Copland's
Rodeo and a choral selection from
The Tender Land, and Randall Thompson's
Ode on the Virginian Voyage.
November 16 - 19, five performances total, the
Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Chester County. This year it's
The Mikado.
Also longtime Cellar readers may remember
my intention to stop playing after this semester's concerts. The principal clarinetist is stepping down, and if I quit now I would miss, literally, the only chance in my lifetime to play Britten's
Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. This is way too much of an inducement. So, for the time being, I continue.
