So who's the stevedore in Karl's photo?
Cato,
Ticket sales are actually quite strong. To bad everything else (grant and big donations) are flailing. There is NO chance we'll do a world premier while the economy is what it is. There is just no money for it. I'm still wondering how this trip to Carnegie is going to work out.
Here is a preview for next season:
Were doing the 4th for the Bruckner week. A highlight program for me is the March Classics program.....really looking forward to that as I've been wanting a go at Sibelius 7 for years now.

The coolest thing was seeing the kids come off stage with all the excitement and adrenalin that they had for the performance they just gave....made even the most jaded orchestra lifer smile a bit.
