A Day With Mozart , Prokofiev & Revueltas -- Sandy Eastman & the SLO Symphony Orchestra
Sandy Eastman will be providing LLCC members with yet another opportunity to attend his pre-concert class and the symphony "No Ties Allowed" dress rehearsal for the San Luis Obispo Symphony concert coming up in May.
There is a cost now to attend the Symphony rehearsals. At the PAC, adults must pay $15 and seniors (age 65 and older) must pay $10. The rehearsal is free to children. The tickets for the dress rehearsal will available about a week before the performance at the PAC box office or by calling them at (805) 7564849.
Sandy's morning lecture about the pieces that are to be played during the rehearsal and about the composers and performers involved in today's orchestra performance will enhance your understanding and appreciation of the concert experience. Then you will join Sandy and attend the San Luis Symphony for the dress rehearsal of Classics in the Cohan.
The orchestra will be playing pieces by three composers:
Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 20 in d minor, K.466
Prokofiev: Lieutenant Kijé,
Revueltas: Janitzio
The featured soloist is pianist Jeffrey Kahane. Equally at home at the keyboard or on the podium, Jeffrey Kahane has established an international reputation as a truly versatile artist, recognized by audiences around the world for his finesse and style in a diverse range of repertoire from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven to Gershwin, Golijov and John Adams
At the dress rehearsal SLO Symphony conductor Mike Nowak will speak as he conducts, giving background information, musicology, and notes on harmony. With Mike's broad knowledge and stage presence, the dress rehearsals are fairly comprehensive.
The morning class will be at SLO Public Library on Palm St. The concert rehearsal will be in the Christopher Cohan Center in the PAC at Cal Poly.
