February's concert season

The next three weekends are concert weekends for me, and since February has Valentine's Day, that means all three concerts are pop music!

I think the Timmins Symphony concert this weekend will have the least amount of pop music - we're doing the overture to the Barber of Seville which is great fun. Does anybody know where the english version of this is hiding on youtube?

We're also doing Hoe Down from Copland's Rodeo (and it not pronounced "rodeo" as in Calgary Stampede, but ro-DAY-o. It's just one of those classical music things).

North Bay is doing a "Broadway Heroes" show next week, and Sudbury is doing an Elton John Tribute concert.

Come out and see the Timmins Symphony Saturday night at 8pm at Theriault High School.

Local talent Adrianna Ciccone is one of our guest soloists, doing some fiddle music, backed up by the Timmins Symphony. We also have Nigel Robbins playing an oboe d'amour concerto, which is not something you'll have many opportunities to hear, so it's definitely worth catching this concert.

An oboe d'amour is like a viola-oboe.... . It's the middle instrument in the picture.
