November, 2011 Welcome to the second issue of inTune, the Magazine of the Saskatoon Symphony. Inside, you’ll find listings and concert notes for the upcoming holiday season. Let the SSO be one of the first to wish you a “happy holiday.” Music is an integral part of the Yuletide season, so make the Symphony part of your celebrations. Concert tickets make great gifts for family and friends, too. Choose from the events described in these pages, or visit www.saskatoonsymphony.org to see details of all our concerts. The Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra is one of the province’s great cultural and entertainment attractions, offering exciting and affordable live music experiences, whatever your musical taste: superb classical concerts, “pops” concerts like “Oscars® night,” and tributes to The Beatles and Michael Jackson, and The Thief of Baghdad not-so-silent movie (the Symphony plays the score live) at the Roxy Theatre, plus special events for kids and students. The season ends with a huge performance of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony— the ultimate orchestral experience! The Symphony wants to welcome you to its new centre in the heart of Riversdale, too. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or on our website for information on events in our new space as well as news of “everything SSO.” As you are doing your Christmas shopping, we hope you will remember our valued advertisers and let them know you saw them at the SSO!

Welcome from the SSO! Welcome to our 2011/12 season, and especially if you are joining us—or thinking of doing so—for the first time. Our concerts feature artists from our community and from the national and international music world joining the gifted musicians in our orchestra, led by the inimitable Maestro Victor Sawa. Each concert offers a unique experience, from the thrill of a large scale orchestral work at TCU Place, to an intimate afternoon with our chamber ensemble at the Delta Bessborough, to a rollicking evening of familiar pop tunes. Earlier this year, the symphony acquired an exciting new facility in Riversdale which consolidates the SSO under one roof. We want to invite you and all of our new neighbours to watch for and attend special events in our new space as we continue to take steps to ensure the symphony is truly a part of our diverse and vibrant community. Much of the SSO’s success is due to our patrons, our volunteers, donors, funders and sponsors and we are very grateful for your continued support. Please join us at our concerts and fundraising events to help us build for the future and, above all, to enjoy the music. Jane Wollenberg, President Saskatoon Symphony Society
From the Musicians Thank you for joining us for this new and dynamic season! Like you, we come from diverse backgrounds. Many of us are full-time professional musicians. We are also music or school teachers, visual artists, carpenters, dentists, farmers, pilots, students and more! We are part of your community and what we have in common with you is our shared interest and love of music.
From Maestro Vic It definitely feels like symphony season with the holidays now in sight. Music is everywhere and we get to share it with friends! We are celebrating: first with the 70th birthday of Saskatoon composer, Monte Pishny-Floyd, followed by the visit of the world-renowned Canadian Guitar Quartet, and Alexei Kornienko, from Vienna, conducting a fiery evening of Spanish music. The thrilling Messiah tradition continues, followed by our holiday concert—renamed the Symphony Holiday Spectacular! Studio One dancers and the Zodiac Tapestry Handbells join Gainer the Gopher and us for an evening of seasonal music and Santa. Don’t worry about post-holiday “blahs”— January brings a fun concert of childhood memories, and then Classical Mystery Tour’s tribute to The Beatles roars onto the stage performing the fab four’s tunes exactly as written, but with the addition of our big symphonic sound. It’s going to be hot! Maestro Victor Sawa, Music Director We look forward to sharing our music with you in a fun and varied season that will appeal to all tastes. Whether you wear jeans or a tux, don a feather boa or a sparkly glove, enjoy chamber music at the Bess or are introducing classical music to your children at a Kids’ show, we want you to sit back, have fun, and enjoy the music!

Free Pre-Concert Talks Prior to Masters Series Concerts
Enhance Your Experience at the Symphony ATTEND THE PRE-CONCERT TALK Relax, you don’t need to have a knowledge of music to enjoy Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra concerts! However, if you would like to find out more about the music being performed, join us for free talks before SSO Masters Series events. Hosted by David Kaplan and friends, the pre-concert talks focus on the evening’s repertoire and the composers. Whether you are attending a classical music concert
for the first time, or are in the audience on a regular basis, you will find the sessions relaxed and informative. They begin at 6:55 pm and conclude by 7:20 pm, in time for you to take your seat in the theatre. Pre-concert talks are held in the TCU Place Green Room. Follow the signs or check for directions from an usher or at the SSO kiosk in the lobby. Occasionally, the location may vary, but signage will keep you informed..
DAVID L. KAPLAN, CM., Ph.D, OC
Since 1960 David Kaplan has made varied and exceptional contributions to Saskatchewan’s musical life. Professor Emeritus, and former head of the University of Saskatchewan’s Department of Music, he conducted the Saskatoon Symphony from 1963–1969 and from 1970–1971, founded the Saskatchewan Music Council, and chaired the Canadian Music Centre’s Prairie Regional Council. He has arranged or composed pieces for woodwinds, including a series of 50 solos for school use in 1985. Dr. Kaplan devotes much of his time to his community. The Saskatoon Klezmer Band, Zmarim, was formed in 1985 after some informal “kibitzing” at a Bar Mitzvah. He has organized events such as the Festival of Faith for Multi-Faith Saskatoon, as well as the musical activities for the annual Holocaust Memorial and Remembrance Day services. In 2010, former international students Xiaoping “Bob” Xu and Ling Chen, of China, donated a $1 million scholarship fund to the U of S Music Department in Dr. Kaplan’s name.

Tom Johnson 1939– failing—a very difficult piece for string bass Tom Johnson, an American minimalist composer, and former student of the noted American composer Morton Feldman, made his home in New York until moving to Paris in 1983. A common theme running through his body of work is the idea of testing performers. “Failing”, his most performed work, is no exception. Scored for solo double bassist, the performer is also tasked with narrating a written text while playing. The piece has proved so popular that its text has been translated into French, Italian, Polish and Danish. We could say more, but this is a piece that speaks for itself!
Franz Schubert 1797–1828 string quartet no. 14 in d minor, d. 810 (death and the maiden) Schubert was born just outside Vienna to a poor family. He was the twelth of 14 children, only five of whom survived into adulthood. His early musical education came from his family. His father taught him to play the violin, and his brother Ignaz instructed him on the piano. At age 10 he began to sing in the choir of his village church, and soon after he obtained a place in the Imperial Chapel Choir of Vienna, which entitled him to free education in
the Stadtconvict of Vienna (a cathedral school attached to the Imperial court). Here he drew the attention of Salieri and became one of his pupils. Schubert began composing at a very young age, and in his short lifetime wrote almost a thousand works. These included nine symphonies, operas, a large body of chamber and solo piano music, and approximately 600 lieder. Compositions came flooding from him as fast as he could write. The year 1815 proved to be his most prolific with no less than 192 compositions completed in a 12 month period. Beethoven is reported to have said “truly, in Schubert there is a divine spark”. Schubert wrote 15 string quartets in all, most of them for his family string quartet in which he played the viola. The String Quartet No. 14 was written in 1824 and reached back to a song written eight years earlier to a poem by Matthius Claudius—“Der Tod und das Mädchen”. This song provided the basis for the second movement, a theme and variations. The mood overall in this quartet is one of foreboding, with thoughts of death not far away. There is such a contrast between the peace and serenity in his most famous “Trout” quintet and the tragedy so near in the “Death and the Maiden”. The Presto, which gives this piece such a weighty finale, takes one on a wild ride and has been likened to a dance of death.

Canadian Guitar Quartet classical guitar
Since their 1999 debut, the Canadian Guitar Quartet has toured extensively in the Americas, from one standing ovation to the next, establishing a reputation as one of the finest guitar ensembles in the world. “Portrait I”, the CGQ’s debut CD, is “impressive” (American Record Guide). Their second, «Les Scènes de Quartiers», was awarded the «Le Prix Trille Or” for instrumental album of 2005. “Portrait II – Orchestral Music for four guitars“ is the quartet’s third CD. The CGQ is often featured on English and French CBC, and has appeared on broadcasts in Chile, Austria and the U.S. In Canada, they have appeared at the National Gallery, the Palais Montcalm series, the Glenn Gould Studio, with orchestras and in recital across the country. They have performed at the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival, Montreal Intl. Classical Guitar Festival, Parry Sound’s “Festival of the Sound”, Acadia Guitar Festival, and Festival Vancouver. Internationally, they have performed in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and headlined Yale University’s “Guitar Extravaganza”, Chile’s “Entre Cuerdas” and “Liliana Perez Corey” festivals, Stetson University’s International Guitar Workshop, Mississippi Guitar Festival, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, and Guitar Foundation of America festival. The CGQ has been featured on a Bravo! TV special, as well as in England’s Classical Guitar magazine. Their New York City debut on the 92nd Street Y’s “Art of the Guitar” series was enthusiastically received with several standing ovations. Wrote Don Witter Jr. of the New York City Classical Guitar Society, “The Canadian Guitar Quartet made one of the greatest New York City debuts of any artistic ensemble in decades … STUNNING !!!”
Alexei Kornienko guest conductor Alexei Kornienko’s work is characterized by an unconditional and joyful attention to text and a boldness in interpretation. His work as a pianist of the Russian school, with his extraordinarily wide Classical and Romantic repertoire, is combined profoundly with his work as a conductor, which he has steadily expanded in recent years. Born in Moscow, he studied at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow and in Charkow, and was prize-winner at the International Rachmaninov Piano Competition. Since moving to Austria in 1990 he has made his name as a respected competition juror and as a teacher at the Kärtner Landeskonservatorium (Carinthian State Conservatory). He is co-founder of the Gustav Mahler Ensemble and a member of the Bösendorfer Artistic Club. Kornienko divides his career between the piano and the conductor’s podium. Together with his wife, acclaimed violinist Elena Denisova, he is active in the rediscovery of forgotten treasures of Classical-Romantic period chamber music: Musik um 1900, their CD “Vienna 1900” (Gramola Vienna) of works by Fuchs, Singer and von Zemlinsky, brought them international success. Kornienko has worked with countless internationally renowned orchestras, such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra London, the Moscow Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, the George Ernescu Philharmonic Orchestra and as a permanent guest conductor of the Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra, and he has garnered enthusiastic praise from critics and public alike. In 2010 he conducted the Moscow Radio and TV Symphony Orchestra on a large U.S. tour and was a guest conductor for the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra.
The Canadian Guitar Quartet is currently in residence at the University of Ottawa.
Kornienko has been artistic director of the Wörthersee Classics Festival since its foundation in 2000.

Spanish Fire Concert Notes Mikael Glinka 1804–1857 Spanish culture has been shaped by a colourful history, including Moorish invasions, Gypsy culture and the Church. This evening’s music spans the 19th and 20th centuries. In the early 20th century, Paris was considered to be the cultural hub of the western world. Paris attracted leading figures of the day, including Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky and Maurice Ravel. Both Manuel de Falla and Joaquin Rodrigo moved from Spain to Paris for a time to absorb the musical influences there. Rodrigo studied with Paul Dukas. Falla had some of his music critiqued by Claude Debussy. In addition to the influence of Paris, a new school of 20th century Spanish music was founded by Catalan musicologist Felippe Pedrell (1841-1922). The foremost Spanish composers of the early 20th century studied with Pedrell, including de Falla and Rodrigo. From Pedrell they received a thorough grounding in Spanish folk and early music. They were inspired to compose music that expressed the collective spirit of the Spanish people. Perhaps that is why these composers steered clear of the avant-garde experiments of some of their contemporaries.
Jota aragonesa Glinka was the first Russian composer to receive any historical recognition. He incorporated Russian folk music into many his compositions. After visiting Spain, Glinka composed the Spanish Overture No. 1: Capriccio Brilliante on the Jota Aragonesa, which is based on the Jota, the traditional dance of Aragon. The Jota is in 3/4 time, danced by couples and expresses courtship. The traditional dance follows a simple chord progression and even meter, which Glinka has captured in this piece.
Joaquin Rodrigo 1901–1999 Concierto andaluz Rodrigo, born in Valencia, lost his sight at an early age during a diphtheria epidemic. This work for four guitars and orchestra was commissioned by Caledonia Romero, founder of the famous guitar quartet Los Romeros, who premiered it in 1967 with the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra. The Concierto Andaluz is infused with rhythms, harmonies and melodic turns inspired by Spanish folk music. The brisk and
inTune 20
cheerful first movement is dominated by an infectious rhythm stated first by the guitars, then by the strings using ricochet bow technique. The music progresses with the violins playing a Spanish-flavoured theme, followed by more of the initial rhythm. A third theme, more sweeping and Romantic, is played by the violins and answered by the guitars. True to Classical form, these themes are all restated in the second half of this movement. The atmospheric second movement begins as a dialog between the guitars and the winds, all accompanied by sustained harmonies from the strings. A Flamenco-style melody in the strings leads to a cadenza performed with blazing virtuosity by the guitars, eventually returning to the opening theme. The third movement is in ABA form. The “A” section is a dialog between the guitars and solo trumpet. The middle or “B” section is in a fast triplet rhythm, and displays hints of 20th century dissonance.
Tuned in to you.
Manuel de Falla 1876–1946 ritual fire dance The Ritual Fire Dance is part of the theatrical piece El Amor Brujo (Love the Magician). It was premiered in 1915 at the Teatro Lara, Madrid. The principal dancer was Pastora Imperio, the foremost Andalusian Gypsy dancer of the time. The scene of the Ritual Fire Dance takes place in a Gypsy cave in Andalusia. A Gypsy is dancing to ward off spirits of the departed, who are haunting the cave.
Jules Massenet 1842–1912 ballet music from le cid This work comes from an opera of the same name which premiered at the Paris Opera House in 1885. The opera is based on the life of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (known as El Cid), an adventurer from 11th century Spain who played a role in the wars between the Spaniards and the Moors. Each dance in the ballet music is named after a region in Spain. The use of repetitive rhythms in some of the music and the sound of castanets give Spanish flavour to these dances. Of particular note is the 6th dance, the Madrilene, which features a haunting melody shared between the English horn and the flute.
Maurice Ravel 1875–1937 Affinity Credit Union is proud to support local arts and culture including the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra.
bolero What could be more fitting for a grand finale than Ravel’s Bolero? It was composed in 1928 for the ballerina Ida Rubinstein as part of a short ballet based on a scene where a young woman dances in a dimly lit café. Bolero is based on a theme which is repeated, according to Ravel, “a number of times without any development at all, increasing my orchestra as best I can”.

Victor Sawa conductor Victor Sawa is a triple threat of talent, experience and personal dynamism in the orchestral world. Music Director of the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra, he holds similar positions with orchestras in Sudbury and Regina. Maestro Sawa was previously Resident Conductor with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (1993-1997), Music Director with the North Bay Symphony, the Guelph Youth Orchestra and the Kitchener-Waterloo Orchestra. He also served as Principal Clarinet with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony. He has been a guest conductor for orchestras across the country. Victor has been recipient of many awards and honours, including three Canada Council awards for Conducting, a Grand Prix du Disque—Best Chamber Music Recording (Canadian Chamber Ensemble), a Grammy award (with the New England Ragtime Ensemble), and the Tanglewood Festival award for Outstanding Musician. A Montreal native, Sawa holds a Bachelor of Music with Distinction from McGill University and an Honours Masters of Music Performance from the New England Conservatory of Music. He is also a graduate of the Pierre Monteux School for Advanced Conductors.
Saskatoon Chamber Singers The Saskatoon Chamber Singers were founded in 1977 by a group of former Greystone Singers who wanted to continue singing in a quality choral ensemble. The choir has been a finalist in the CBC competition for amateur choirs and the International Choral Kathaumixw in Powell River, BC, and participated in the non-competitive Festival 500 in St. John’s Nfld. They have been the guest choir at Saskatchewan Sings, and sang at the installation of Lynda Haverstock (a former member) as Lieutenant-Governor. Last year the choir performed at Podium, the biennial conference of the Association of Canadian Choral Communities: first at a joint “spotlight” concert with the Saskatoon Children’s Choir, and then as the chorus for Mary Lou Fallis and Peter Tiefenbach’s Primadonna Choralis. The choir’s repertoire has been rich in variety since its establishment, and Canadian music has always been an important component of the choir’s programming. Best known for their annual Remembrance Day concert, the schedule is generally rounded out by a seasonal concert in December or January, and one or two concerts in late winter and spring. Remaining concerts this season include “Of Life and Love” on February 12, a Valentine’s Day treat, and “Songs of the Soul” on April 29. Website: www.saskatoonchambersingers.ca inTune 25

George Frideric Handel 1685–1759
Messiah Handel’s Messiah is a presentation of Jesus’s life and its significance according to Christian doctrine. The name of the oratorio is taken from the Abrahamic concept of the Messiah (“the anointed one”). Although the work was conceived for secular theatre and was first performed during Lent, it has become common practice to perform it during Advent, the preparatory period of the Christmas season. Christmas concerts often feature only the first section of Messiah plus the “Hallelujah” chorus. The work is also heard at Eastertide, and selections containing resurrection themes are often included in Easter services. The work is divided into three parts which address specific events in the life of Christ. Part One is primarily concerned with the Advent and Christmas stories. Part Two chronicles Christ’s passion, resurrection, ascension, and the evangelization of the Christian message. Part Three is based primarily upon the events chronicled in the Book of Revelation. Although Messiah deals with the New Testament story of Christ’s life, a majority of the texts used to tell the story were selected from the Old Testament prophetic books of Isaiah, Haggai, Malachi, and others. inTune 27

Georges Bizet 1838–1875 Jeux d’enfants, op. 22 Born in Paris into a musical family, Georges Bizet was French composer of the Romantic era. His father was a voice teacher and his mother played the piano. As with so many great composers Bizet’s talents were obvious at a very young age. He was able to read and write music at age four, and was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire at age nine. His biggest body of work was written for the opera stage (approximately 30 in all) with Carmen being by far the most famous. It was premiered just three months before his death at age 37. As well as being a composer Bizet was a gifted pianist. His playing drew the admiration of Liszt who considered him to be one of the three finest pianists in Europe at the time. Bizet wrote the Jeux d’Enfants as a piano duet in 1871. It consists of 12 short movements, each based on a different children’s game. Five of the most popular movements were orchestrated as the “Petite Suite”. Bizet’s natural melodic charm shines through here as it does in all of his works, and Gordon Davies’ arrangement for wind quintet is also very successful in maintaining the daintiness and delicacy characteristic of these pieces.
Jiri Jaroch 1920–1986 detska SUITE (children’s suite) Jiri Jaroch, a Czech composer, studied at the Prague Conservatory and The Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. As well as studying composition he also studied viola with the famous Czech violinist Ladislav Cerny. He played in the orchestra at the Smetana Theatre in Prague till its closing in 1947, after which he worked as a broadcaster for Czech Radio. Jaroch’s compositional output includes 15 orchestral works, among which are three
symphonies. He also wrote a number of chamber music works including 2 string quartets. The Detska Suite is one of two nonets, and was written in 1952. It is his most frequently played chamber music work. He is sensitive to the attention span of children in the length of each movement and the style of composition. The piece is both serene and playful in mood. It is enjoyable for both children and adults alike.
Maurice Ravel 1875–1937 MA Mère l’oye (Mother goose suite) Ravel was born in the Basque town of Ciboure, France close to the Spanish border. His mother was of Basque origin, and his father was a Swiss inventor and engineer. Ravel began his piano studies at an early age, and eventually entered the Paris Conservatoire, studying both piano and composition. During his time there from 1889–1895 his compositional style was not well received so he left. However, he returned in 1897 to study with Gabriel Fauré, who become a great champion of his work. Ravel is now viewed as one of the most influential composers of the early 20th century and is often linked with Debussy in his musical expressionism. He had a love of a broad variety of styles including French Baroque, Bach, Mozart, Chopin, Spanish folk traditions and American jazz and blues. These influences can be found throughout his music. His skill in orchestration is unsurpassed. The Mother Goose Suite was originally written in 1908 as a piano duet for the children of Ciba Godebski, a friend of Ravel. In 1910 he transcribed it for solo piano, and in 1911 it was orchestrated for full orchestra. Another transcription followed in 1911 for ballet, for which two more movements and some interludes were added. The original five movements illustrate fairy tales, most written by French authors. The first two movements are based on tales by inTune 39
Charles Perrault, and the third movement is based on a tale by Madame d’Aulnoy. Beauty and the Beast comes from a story by Meanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaument. The Fairy Garden in of unknown origin. Ravel’s elegant style and luxurious textures are also evident in this arrangement for nonet. The mood is whimsical but with a hint of sadness thought to come from Ravel’s attachment to the bygone days of his happy childhood.
Jon Deak 1943– THE BREMEN TOWN MUSICIANS Jon Deak, double bassist and composer, was born in Hammond, Indiana, to artists from Hungary. He was educated at Oberlin College, the Julliard School of Music, the University of Illinois and as a Fulbright Scholar at the Conservatorio de Santa Cecilia in Rome. He was Associate Principal double bass of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra for many years, and also a Creative Education Associate for the orchestra. Deak recently completed a 3 year appointment as Composer-inResidence with the Colorado Symphony which included affiliations with the Colorado Children’s Chorale and the Denver Public Schools. His passion for the creative education of children led to the founding of the Very Young Composers in 1995, a program whereby public school children age nine to 13 completely composed and orchestrated their own music for the New York Philharmonic and the Colorado Symphony. In 1985 Deak wrote The Bremen Town Musicians for the New York Woodwind Quintet. He uses “performance art” techniques which expand the performer’s usual roles of playing notes on a page. The performers take on the roles of their characters with words and actions as well. Here is a description from Jon Deak: “I have always loved fairy tales with their wild flights of fancy and their directness
of expression. I distinctly remember my mother reading “The Bremen Town Musicians” to me at age five or six. I loved its absurdity and felt so sad—then excited—for the four animals who, being cast out by their masters, decided to band together as musicians and wind up driving a den of thieves from their hideout. How, then, to convey this story by five musicians on a stage? I wanted to do more than just “set” a text to the accompaniment of music. Just as common speech contains music—pitch, dynamics, articulation, rhythm—so music conveys meaning, even literal meaning. I love to mix up the two—to embed one into the other, as it were. Thus the musicians and their instruments tell the story, and conversely, the rhythm of the story’s text on all its various levels, becomes the music.” Program notes prepared by Margaret Wilson, principal clarinet, Saskatoon Symphony. © 2011

Classical Mystery Tour The four musicians in Classical Mystery Tour look and sound just like The Beatles, but Classical Mystery Tour is more than just a rock concert. The show presents more than two dozen Beatles tunes transcribed note-fornote and performed exactly as they were originally recorded. Classical Mystery Tour is the best of The Beatles—from early Beatles music on through the solo years—like you’ve never heard them before. Many have called it “the best show the Beatles never did!”
Classical Mystery Tour features Jim Owen (John Lennon) on rhythm guitar, piano, and vocals; Tony Kishman (Paul McCartney) on bass guitar, piano, and vocals; John Brosnan (George Harrison) on lead guitar and vocals; and Chris Camilleri (Ringo Starr) on drums and vocals (cast subject to change). Classical Mystery Tour has several CDs and T-shirts available for purchase in the lobby at the concert and on their website. The group is available after their performance to autograph CDs and programs.

Coming to the Symphony?
Group discounts
A SCENT-FREE ENVIRONMENT
Group discounts on Symphony tickets are available for groups of 20 or more. The Saskatoon Symphony also offers an inexpensive student rate for our Masters Series and Music for a Sunday Afternoon concerts. We can help make your group’s symphony experience an extraordinary one. For more information, email Mary Ann Therrien at groupsales@ saskatoonsymphony.org.
We ask that you assist us in creating a scent-free environment by avoiding using perfumes, aftershaves, colognes, and scented lotions and opting for “fragrancefree”, “scent-free”, or “unscented” versions of personal care products on concert evenings. We thank you in advance for being considerate in this regard.
ARRIVING LATE Latecomers will be seated by the ushers at an appropriate break in the concert, determined by the conductor. Often, the Symphony shares the venue with other bookings, so parking may take longer than planned. Please keep this in mind when planning your evening
when to applaud “Whenever you feel the urge to applaud, go ahead,” says Maestro Sawa. “If you love the orchestra and the music, don’t be afraid to stand up and cheer, just like you’re at a Riders game. Well, whatever!”
turn off that phone Maestro Sawa says he has problems conducting cell phone ringtones and beeps from digital watches and pagers. “They so seldom are in the right tempo,” he says. So please be polite and turn them to silent or completely off. Relax, and enjoy the concert.
what to wear First time concert goers mention their surprise at the variety of dress in the audience—from jeans to evening wear, you’ll see it all. The Conexus Pops Series concerts are opportunities to dress according to theme, especially the annual Oscar® music night. Whatever you choose to wear, be comfortable and have fun.
