The Classical Season Is About To Start

   Here's  a  reminder  to  those  who  may  be  new  to  classical  music   or   haven't  gotten  interested   in  it  yet :  an  exciting  and   incredibly  diverse   new  season  is  about  to  begin  in  America,  Europe  and  elsewhere.  

   Musicians, singers  and  conductors   are   winding  up  their  vacations   and   getting  ready   for  the  concert  and  operatic  season.  There  will  be  enormous  variety :  old  music,  new  music,  familiar  works and   unfamilar  ones  of  every  imaginable  kind.    If  you  live  in  or  near  any  reasonably  large   city,  you  should  investigate   the  offerings  at  your  local   symphony  orchestra  and  opera  company  etc.   Just  put  the  name  of any  orchestra  or  opera  company  on  your   search  engine,  and  you  can  see  the  website,  with  all   the  information  you  could  ever  need  or  want  about  these  performing  organizations.   Season  schedules,  repertoire,  tickets, subscriptions  etc.  

   Look  up  virtually  any  famous  classical  musician  to  find   his  or her  website. 

   The  Metropolitan  opera  will  be   offering  High  Definition  broadcasts   to  movie  theaters  all  over  the  USA.   For  information,  see  metopera.org.   The  New  York  Times   will   have  a  preview  of  the  upcoming  classical  season  in  New  York  and  elsewhere   in  the  Arts  and  Leisure   section  of  the  Sunday  Times  shortly.   Check  out  the  Times  website  if  you  don't  get  this  paper.

  If  you  are  planning  to  visit   any  of  the  major  US  cities,  or  European  ones,  you  can  easily  find  information  on   getting  tickets  on  the  internet  for   classical  performances  there.  There  is  a  website  called   feastofmusic.com.   This  is  no  exaggeration.

About the horn

I am a classical musician, former French hornist, substitute music teacher at various public schools on Long Island, former classical music critic for the student newspaper at Queens college, CUNY. I have performed in numerous orchestras,opera companies concert bands and chamber ensembles, and have played under such well-known conductors as Maurice Peress, Joann Falletta, and Arthur Weisberg,among others. I have performed in Italy,Australia, Switzerland and New Zealand. I am currently involved in programs playing recordings of a wide variety of classical repertoire for people with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, and elderly and infirm people. I enjoy reading books on a wide variety of subjects, and am particularly interested in history and linguistics.
