Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks. But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back. Saturday, December 14, 2013. Another Audition: "Thank You, That'll Be All". Anyway, this list was quite normal and expected, for the most part. I was working hard on the list, and also working hard with billions of gigs (or so it seemed). I was in serious bass mode, like, hardcore, and pumped for the audition. And I'd hate to play and have them think "Wow, she is so bad! No But I'm no slouch. But anyway.time goes on, and my au...So, I...

Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks. But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back. Monday, March 25, 2013. Hopefully, when your read the title of this post, you hear the beginning of Beethoven's Symphony no. 5 in C minor. Which i had the pleasure of hearing this past weekend at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, along with a few other orchestral goodies. These are good things that are happening. However, there are negatives as well. What happened to listening? Did each individual think "It's not me! So, growth is ...

Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks. But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back. Monday, February 25, 2013. An Unforgettable Night at the ISO: Hampson Sings Mahler. I blogged and tweeted my heart out about Thomas Hampson coming to the ISO, to sing some Mahler. I thought the fact that the greatest baritone on earth right arriving in town to sing some Mahler would bring tons of people to the Hilbert Circle Theater. I was wrong. But, ya know what? It's their loss. I tried to get people here! Vienna Phil, Bernstein)&#...

Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks. But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back. Sunday, April 27, 2014. Encouragement in the Form of Beethoven 9. Then there's the general stress of an audition. This one is a bit different than others, for reasons that don't matter. It's one that I care even more deeply about, but am having a very hard time thinking positively about. If anything, I've been discouraged, which is an odd feeling for me. Fingers know where they are going. Notes are in tune. I can hold a bow, a...It wa...

Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks: More, Please!

Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks. But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back. Monday, September 29, 2014. Ahhh, it's nice to return to the blog. It's ESPECIALLY nice when I return to praise one of my favorite bands- -the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. They played their season opener a few weeks ago, with the brilliant Jeremy Denk. Playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto no. 1,. And just one other work, selections from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. How wrong I was. To Shai Wosner's fine Mozart Piano Concerto no. 20.

Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks. But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Get Your Red Scarves Ready! Yep, it's that time of year. No, I don't mean cooking a turkey, buying presents, or anything of that sort. I mean it's time to get your red scarf out for Friday's Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra concert. Because MARIO VENZAGO IS CONDUCTING! I wrote a similar post last year. 1 Mario loves his red scarf. 2 We all love Mario (and his red scarf). Don't have a red scarf? Freelance d...

Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks. But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back. Wednesday, October 30, 2013. The Maestro is Here! Mario Venzago is back in town! He's been rehearsing with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and all I can hear from my friends who play or sub with the ISO is how thrilled they are to have him back. In fact, the musicians gave him a standing ovation at the first rehearsal. How incredible is that? And notice how heartfelt his message is. HIS RED SCARF. There it is again! Labels: India...

Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks: Mahler is Back in Town
http://mahlerowesmetenbucks.blogspot.com/2015/06/mahler-is-back-in-town.html
Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks. But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back. Monday, June 8, 2015. Mahler is Back in Town. How long has it been since there's been a Mahler concert in Indianapolis? And how long has it been since I last blogged? The answer to both is something along the lines of a millenia, give or take a few years. Of course, I could be exaggerating slightly. During the concert, I had the following thoughts; some at the same time, none in any particular order. 1 How amazing Mahler 5 is. 6 How m...

Mahler Owes Me Ten Bucks. But it's ok, he doesn't have to pay me back. Monday, November 4, 2013. Mario Monday: A Magical Weekend. If you were at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra this past weekend, you knew, saw, felt, and experienced the incredible return of Mario Venzago to the podium of the Hilbert Circle Theater. Oh, dear friends, it was glorious! But I probably wasn't the only person with that idea. Regardless, it was beautiful to see. It was heartening, quite frankly. The concert was also amazing...
