Tulsa
Returning to many old haunts this week. The orchestra here is rising again, with a sold-out performance of The Planets and some John Williams on the first half.
I’ve got nothing but love for the music of John Williams. Great tunes, well-orchestrated and fun to play. And I still get chills when I conduct the opening fanfare of Star Wars, even though I must have done it at least 100 times by now!
I’m thrilled for the Tulsa Symphony, they have an innovative plan merging musicians and management, and are making some strong connections with the community again, and most importantly, their vibe is very inclusive, collaborative and positive.
I don’t want to do two food entries in a row, but you can check out my myspace page for thoughts about how to make a hamburger.
