Concert Saturday Night!

It is concert week! This week is a wonderful blend of craziness and completion.

This week is crazy because I am trying to finish the program book, get all the concert logistics ironed out and sell tickets. It is a little like putting out a series of brush fires...you just never know what is going to happen and where it is going to happen. Sometimes music gets misplaced, musicians have appendectomies (yes--this has happened this week) and there is a last minute flurry of ticket sales.

It is also crazy for the musicians as they make those final notes in their music, practice their parts and do their level best to stay healthy!

For me it is completion as well. Getting the first concert completed is a huge accomplishment. The audience is back, the program book is done and now we can move forward.

And for the musicians, it is a great accomplishment to have the first concert complete. They now have an idea of what Andrew expects of them in rehearsal and performance. They have presented their first concert to the community, and now we can move on to the December program.

Believe it or not, now we can begin to think about next season. What music and programs are we going to dream about? Andrew is already thinking about some things. I will put in one or two ideas. Do you have any suggestions? We would love to hear them, it is no gurantee we will perform them, but it is always good to know what you would like to hear.

I hope to see you all at the concert on Saturday evening! I look forward to seeing you as I introduce Andrew and your St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra.

My best to you always,
Sandy Nadeau
Executive Director
