St. Louis Wind Symphony Concert

This Sunday, January 29th
3:00 PM
Kirkwood Auditorium (same as before)
"Old, New, Borrowed, and Blue" is the theme
From what my brother tells me, a highlight of the concert will be Blue Shades. This is a very cool piece of music written with jazz colorations and a smattering of impressionism as well. It features a clarinet soloist. I don't know anything else about this particular concert yet. I'll post more as I learn more. Mark and his wife play in this ensemble as you may recall.

Any takers?

Mike

Count me as a definate maybe. I'll have to see how Saturday goes (got something planned that may drift over into Sunday).

I'll try to make it too since I missed the last one. I really enjoyed the one before that, honest.

I may be interested, this is my weekend off and I am trying to shore up my plans. Trying to balance family, friends, girls and co workers. I really need a real job

sounds like Scott got himself some VIAGRA.

I'll check with" she who must be obeyed" and see if I can break free for a couple of hours , I'll post if I can.

Yep, the little woman has been walking bow-legged for a few weeks now. Seems to me I saw a commercial that said if it lasts more than 4 hours I needed to do something......I'm feeling a littl.e .. , l,i..t,.e hEA..de..d.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it on Sunday. Wish I could though, the program looks like it should be a good one. Count me in on the next one.

Thanks for coming out to the concert! Great to have friendly faces in the audience and the group had some pretty good moments. The next concert will be in March and features:

Toccata Marziale……………………………..........…Vaughan Williams
Irish Tune from County Derry and Shepard's Hey….Grainger
Symphony for Band…………………………..........…Hindemith
Four Scottish Dances…………………………..........Malcom Arnold

These are definitely "audiophile" approved pieces. The Hindemith and Arnold pieces are great war-horses. I'll make sure I get some tickets for the group and keep you posted as we approach the concert.

Thanks again and I hope you liked the concert.

Sorry I missed the concert. I would have much rather be there than what I was doing.

Count me in on the next one!

Awesome show Mark! The Bacchanale gave me visions of Steve Reeves' sword and sandal flicks!

Looking forward to the next one.
