WHAT A GOOD TIME TO WRITE THIS 30 MINUTES AFTER THE SHOW...FRESH IN MY MIND SO I DON'T FORGET ANYTHING.
LAS VEGAS PHILHARMONIC FINAL CONCERT OF THE SEASON....SO SAD IT ENDS.
IT WILL BE BACK....27 SEPTEMBER WITH NEW CONDUCTOR MAESTRO CABRARA...NOT SOON ENOUGH.
THIS ONE OF THE TREASURES OF MY LAS VEGAS EXISTENCE.
I CAN'T REPEAT HOW....... IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS ...BUT IT DOES.
LAST TWO CONDUCTORS....GUESTS...FEMALES....TONIGHT BETTER THAN THE LAST.
SARAH HICKS...NOTHING NOT TO LIKE HERE..THE ONLY DOWNER IS ...DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL SEE HER AGAIN.
HICKS PICKED THE MUSIC....SENSATIONAL SELECTION OF POP THEMES FROM FRENCH CONNECTIONS....PHANTOM...LE MIS...APRIL IN PARIS..LOVE IS BLUE...ALL ABOUT THE RIGHT LENGTH AND ALL PLAYED PERFECTLY BY THE LVPHIL FOR THIS
HICKS....VIBRANT....PERSONALBLE ...INTELLIGENT...YOUTHFULL MASTER CONDUCTOR.....SHE DID NOT DO A PRE SHOW BUT MADE UP FOR IT WITH BIOS AND STORIES OF THE MUSIC FROM THE PODIUM TO INCLUDE HER PERSONAL DANCE IN THE ENCORE......BOY THIS GIRL IS A KEEPER....DOC SEVERSON TOLD HER TO WEAR LOTS OF SEQUINS....SHE OBLIGED AND WON THE CROWD OVER INSTANTLY.
I ALWAYS SAY "SO MANY SYMPHONYS TO BE HEARD SO LITTLE TIME"....NEEDLESS TO SAY WE RACED THRU SOME CLASSICAL POPULAR THEMES TONIGHT ALL DONE WITH "PANACHE".
PATRICK HARRISON HAD 5 SELECTIONS ON THE ACCORDIAN...SOME TANGO...SOME LAWRENCE WELK..SOME BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS....INTRIGUING THE ORCHESTRA WITH HIS ENCORE....MY BOHEMIAN BACKGROUND AND LOVE OF WELK AND THIS SOUND SO SWEET TONIGHT AND PLAYED RIGHT INTO THE ORCHESTRA.....THE REHEARSAL WAS MOST SUCCESSFUL.
CONCERTMASTER DEANN LETOURNEAU....ALWAYS NICE TO HEAR YOUR PERSONAL HIGHLIGHTED SELECTIONS ...YOU CONTINUE TO ADVANCE THE CAUSE....NICE TOO TO SEE CLARINETIST ERIN VANDER WYST SUBSTITUTING TONIGHT....SEE HAD A SOLO CONCERT AT UNLV RECENTLY...SO NICE TO SEE TALENT....PRACTICE AND HARD WORK LEADING INTO YOUR CAREER....THANKS.
CAN I SAY MORE....IS IT SEPTEMBER AND TIME FOR OUR NEW CONDUCTOR...?
702 749 2000....GOOOOOOOOOD TIME TO GET THEM TIX EARLY FOR THE NEXT SEASON I AM ON MY CALENDAR AS I FINISH THIS....BE REAL DUMB TO SCHEDULE SOMETHING ELSE ON NIGHT WHEN THE LAS VEGAS PHILHARMONIC IS PLAYING..
STILL CAN'T START ON TIME..... 6 MINUTES LATE DROPPING THEIR MUSIC EFFORTS TO A 94 A
