The KSO Youth
Orchestras will be presenting their winter 2016 concerts on February
14-15. The Preludium, Philharmonia, Sinfonia and Youth Chamber
Orchestra will be featured on Sunday the 14th (what a
unique way to spend Valentine's Day!) at 3:00 at the Tennessee
Theatre. The Youth Orchestra proper will give its Concerto Concert
the next night at 7:00, also at the Tennessee Theatre. This year's
winners are harpist Kari Novilla, playing the Allegro Moderato
from Gliere's Concerto
in E-flat for Harp and Orchestra,
and saxophonist Spencer McDonald performing Tableaux de
Provence, by Paule Maurice.
These soloists were chosen from a very competitive field, and fellow
finalists Henry Shen, Melody
Guo, Isabelle Lee, Lyric Rivera, and Daniel Choo all have no reason
to be remorseful with their fine, polished performances. Also
on the concerto program will
be Tchaikovsky's dramatic Marche Slav,
and selections from Bizet's Carmen Suites. These
concerts both have free admission. Here are a couple “action shots”
of our soloists.

That
same weekend, the Knoxville Symphony will spotlight the music of
Rodgers and Hammerstein on the eve of Valentine's Day. I
Could Write a Book about the
stature of “R&H's” contributions to the canon of musical
theater repertoire, but I
have Confidence that you will be
Whistling a Happy Tune
when you leave the Civic Auditorium at
8:00 on Saturday, Feb. 13.
Is a Puzzlement
why someone would want to miss this Grand Night for
Singing, on
which will host Broadway notables Alli Mauzey, Gary Mauer and William
Michals. The Carson Newman University A Capella Choir will also add
The Sweetest Sounds to
our production; I Cain't Say No
to such blending of voices; it's one of My Favorite Things!
Don't you dare miss what is
sure to be Some Enchanted Evening.
So Long! Farewell!
