Just letting you know that the Divertimento 2013 Fall Concert is in just over a week:
November 8 & 9, 2013, 8pm
L’Église St. Thomas d’Aquin
1244 Kilborn Avenue
Ottawa
This is the orchestra that I play cello for, and I certainly hope to see you there. The pieces we are playing this time are:
- Cardy — Kissing the Joy as it Flies
- Wolf-Ferrari — Suite Concertino, Op. 16
- Tchaikovsky — Symphony No. 4 Op. 26
The Cardy is a nice modern little piece built around the cycle of fifths. The Wolf-Ferrari is a bassoon concerto, with Ben Glossop as the soloist; it’s also reduced orchestra, which means I’m not playing in it, but that is fine with me given that the Tchaikovsky is definitely taking all of my energy — seriously, there are parts in it that that my cello teacher claims she would have difficulty playing.
Anyway, as usual, I can get tickets for $2 off the price at the door, but unfortunately if you want me to get you some I need to know by Thursday (i.e. tomorrow). [Apologies for leaving it so late]. The price at the door is:
- Adults — $20
- Seniors/Students — $10
- Children under 13 — $5
- Children under 6 — free
If you’ve got a printer handy, and you’d like to help us by putting up a poster, here is a PDF…
