We may not be in the Green Music Center in person, but imagine that across our community, we will all be gathering for a performance—in living rooms and backyards, on phones and TVs, with family or maybe some neighbors . In the face of the difficulties behind us and the struggles ahead, we will share the same uplifting musical experience together as we have always needed during past crises from 9/11 to the Tubbs fire . This is truly an historic moment in our Symphony's long history and we are so glad you will be a part of our first concerts, specifically programmed, directed and filmed for you to enjoy in your homes . If you are a long-time subscriber, this will be your chance to see our musicians up close on stage, from many different angles, and fea- tured in unique formations . And if you are new, you will be immersed SUSAN AND NEIL SILVERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY in our story, as you will get to know our musicians and learn about the many ways the Santa Rosa Symphony is a centerpiece of our community . This entire undertaking is a love letter to our community, while also being a statement to the world about what can be achieved through goodwill, trust and a commitment to building a brighter future together . In this new series of five concerts, we welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich as our first ever “Artistic Partner ”. Through presentations, interviews and online interactions with our viewers, Ellen will be giving us an incredible inside look at her artistic process as we travel through five of her works written across four decades . I have long been inspired by Ellen’s work and it is such a thrill to collaborate with her so closely . We will also move on from Beethoven to several 19th-century masterworks by Dvorak, Wagner, Brahms and Tchaikovsky . And, finally, several of our works will utilize our beautiful concert hall by using unique set-ups and letting our film crew get creative! I would like to finish with a personal note of gratitude . None of this would have been possible without an unwavering commitment to keeping our music alive, even under the most difficult of circumstances, from all our stakeholders—musicians, staff, board, donors, volunteers, ticket holders, the Green Music Center, Sonoma State University and many public officials . From the bottom of my heart – THANK YOU! Sincerely, To learn how you can benefit the next generation of musicians, consult with your professional advisors and call the Santa Rosa Symphony Development Director at 707 546-7097 x 214.

  • James Taylor: Making Music and Memories by John Fries
    Pittsburgh Boomers | August 2005 James Taylor: Making Music and Memories By John Fries If you went to high school during the 1970's, as I did, you'll recall a lot of really great music -- on the radio, in the school cafeteria at lunchtime, and on the eight track tapes you punched into your car dashboards at night while driving around. While the musical landscape offered something for everyone, much of it seemed to fall into two distinct categories: straight-ahead rock and top 40 pop. Here in Pittsburgh, we were either tuned to Trevor Ley playing Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd on 'DVE or listening to the "New Sound of 13Q," which played a wide and eclectic mix of whatever was in the top 40 at the time. The top hits of the day were listed each week in the pocket-sized "hit parades" KQV and 13Q published and provided for free in local record stores. The list could include any combination of rock, power pop, country, rhythm and blues, vocalists, the occasional novelty record, and that 70's radio staple known as the singer-songwriter. Remember them? The mellow music makers who played guitar or piano, wrote meaningful, introspective lyrics, and served up gentle melodies? The singer-songwriter sections of our 45 collections included titles by such artists as Jackson Browne, Neil Young, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, Paul Simon and a West Coast band of country rock upstarts called the Eagles. Although they were - and are -- all great artists, James Taylor became the undisputed king of the genre.

DOLPHIN'S - DAY CU of a beat-up record from the 1950s. On the paper cover is a VERY YOUNG Rudy, in a tuxedo. It says "Rudy Moore - BUGGY RIDE" RUDY You play this, folks gonna start hoppin' and squirmin', just like back in the day. A hand lifts the record up to the face of RUDY RAY MOORE, late '40s, black, sweet, determined. RUDY When I sang this on stage, I swear to God, people fainted! Ambulance man was picking them off the floor! When I had a gig, the promoter would warn the hospital: "Rudy's on tonight -- you're gonna be carrying bodies out of the motherfucking club!" We see that we are in a RADIO BOOTH. A sign blinks "On The Air." The DJ, ROJ, frowns at the record. ROJ "Buggy Ride"? RUDY Wasn't no small-time shit. ROJ GodDAMN, Rudy! That record's 1000 years old! I've got Marvin Gaye singin' "Let's Get It On"! I can't be playin' no "Buggy Ride." (beat) Look, I have 60 seconds. I have to cue the next tune. Hm! Rudy bites his lip and walks away. Roj tries to go back to his job. He reaches for a Sly Stone single -- when Rudy suddenly bounds back up. RUDY How about "Step It Up and Go"? That's a real catchy rhythm-and-blues number.

To some extent, it was true. James did find inspiration for much of his life’s work in his emotional torment and the many years he spent fighting drug addiction and depression. And he did hail from an affluent, musically talented family that could afford to send its progeny to exclusive prep schools and expensive private mental hospitals. But now James Taylor in his fifties has the benefit of hindsight to moderate any lingering grudges against a press that persistently pigeonholed him – first as a sort of Kurt Cobain of his day, and much later as a sleepy crooner with his most creative years behind him.
