Here is the latest photo from Mr. Beethoven!
In other news....Richmond Symphony was featured in a couple of news stories this week.
One in the Richmond Times-Dispatch about our concert tomorrow, Jefferson, In His Own Words, and the commission of that title piece. Other pieces that will be performed this Saturday (8pm) and Sunday (3pm) will be Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, Saint-Saens' Cello Concerto No. 2 featuring principal cellist Neal Cary, and Dvorak's Symphony No. 6. Read the article here.
The other in Style Weekly on our departing concertmaster Karen Johnson, who is off to a new position next year as a member in the President's Own Marine band. Definitely a very exciting opportunity for her. She speaks with Don Harrison about her experiences as concertmaster. This weekend's concerts will be one of the last times you will be able to see her as concertmaster in Richmond. Read the article here.
So sorry to see Karen Johnson leave. Such a treasure! She leaves chairs...concert-master, soloist...that will be hard to fill. Best wishes in your new musical career! For the time being, we'll enjoy your final months and melodies with us here in Richmond.
