Yes I know people who go to Shamans rather than the hospital. They swear that amateurs are better because they love it.
REH From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Keith Hudson Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2012 10:30 AM To: RE-DESIGNING WORK, INCOME DISTRIBUTION, , EDUCATION Subject: [Futurework] The future of great music In these days of the decline of professional orchestras and, more than likely, a long term economic depression in front of us, it's as well to remind ourselves that classical (that is, fully developed) music can still survive in good heart. A long term friend (and customer) of mine, the president of San Francisco Lyric Chorus, spent two years organizing a concert in which, Saturday last, one of the greatest choral works of all time was performed -- Berlioz's Requiem. It involved over 100 amateur orchestral players in San Francisco and a larger choir selected from over 30 others in the Bay area and further afield, including 40 singers from New York. The programme filled San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall and the performance was described by the San Francisco Chronicle as the "Mega-Concert of the Year. Or Years." For those interested, a 1.5-minute snitch of the volunteer orchestra rehearsing Strauss' Sunrise from Also Sprach Zarathustra (performed in the first half of the concert) may be seen and heard here: <http://youtu.be/fS0RsMMvMqY> http://youtu.be/fS0RsMMvMqY Keith Keith Hudson, Saltford, England http://allisstatus.wordpress.com <http://allisstatus.wordpress.com/>
