Williams 1 “I’ve never been to a Symphony Orchestra concert before… What do I do?” When you arrive and find your seat, you will see the orchestra on stage. They will be tuning their instruments and warming up for the concert. When the concert is about to begin, the concertmaster will come on stage carrying his violin. You may applaud for him when he comes out on stage. Then, it is VERY important for you to be quiet. The orchestra is about to begin and must hear itself tune as a whole. As soon as the concertmaster has tuned the orchestra, the conductor will come onto the stage. You may clap for him. He will take a bow to the audience. This is his way of saying, “Thank you.” When the conductor has his arms in the air directing the orchestra, you should be listening to the music and watching the activity on the stage. When the orchestra stops playing, the conductor lowers his arms AND turns around, that means that piece is over. If you like it, you should clap to let the orchestra and conductor know! REMEMBER: When the orchestra is performing, the audience is quiet and listening closely. When the audience is applauding, the orchestra is quiet for you. That is their turn to be quiet. 2 Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the admission fee? A: Free! The San Angelo Symphony has offered youth concerts for the more than 30 years with support from generous sponsors

  • Ballets Russes Press
    A ZEITGEIST FILMS RELEASE THEY CAME. THEY DANCED. OUR WORLD WAS NEVER THE SAME. BALLETS RUSSES a film by Dayna Goldfine and Dan Geller Unearthing a treasure trove of archival footage, filmmakers Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine have fashioned a dazzlingly entrancing ode to the rev- olutionary twentieth-century dance troupe known as the Ballets Russes. What began as a group of Russian refugees who never danced in Russia became not one but two rival dance troupes who fought the infamous “ballet battles” that consumed London society before World War II. BALLETS RUSSES maps the company’s Diaghilev-era beginnings in turn- of-the-century Paris—when artists such as Nijinsky, Balanchine, Picasso, Miró, Matisse, and Stravinsky united in an unparalleled collaboration—to its halcyon days of the 1930s and ’40s, when the Ballets Russes toured America, astonishing audiences schooled in vaudeville with artistry never before seen, to its demise in the 1950s and ’60s when rising costs, rock- eting egos, outside competition, and internal mismanagement ultimately brought this revered company to its knees. Directed with consummate invention and infused with juicy anecdotal interviews from many of the company’s glamorous stars, BALLETS RUSSES treats modern audiences to a rare glimpse of the singularly remarkable merger of Russian, American, European, and Latin American dancers, choreographers, composers, and designers that transformed the face of ballet for generations to come. — Sundance Film Festival 2005 FILMMAKERS’ STATEMENT AND PRODUCTION NOTES In January 2000, our Co-Producers, Robert Hawk and Douglas Blair Turnbaugh, came to us with the idea of filming what they described as a once-in-a-lifetime event.

KJOS MUSIC COMPANY • PUBLISHER 2 SAMPLE WB466 3 About the Composer Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–1893) was a Russian composer of the Romantic era whose compositions remain popular to this day. Among his most popular works are three ballets, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, and Te Nutcracker, six symphonies, eleven operas, the tone poems Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture, Marche Slave, Capriccio Italien, and 1812 Overture, a concerto for violin, and two concertos for piano. Tchaikovsky’s music was the frst by a Russian composer to achieve international recognition. Later in his career, Tchaikovsky made appearances around the globe as a guest conductor, including the 1891 inaugural concert of Carnegie Hall in New York City. In the late 1880s, he was awarded a lifetime pension by Emperor Alexander III of Russia.
