GREETINGS
Dear FrienDs,
of Symphony Under the Sky presented by ATB Investor Services, to work once
again with the wonderful ESO, and to have a lineup of music and guests artists that
we hope will delight and move you.
I first heard Denise Djokic play last May in New York City, as she joined the
orchestra as cello soloist for the ESOs triumphant Carnegie Hall debut. Im thrilled
that this marvelous cellist will perform on opening night. Saturday afternoon is
a tribute to that very British musical tradition, Last Night at the Proms. The
splendid soprano Mela Dailey will sing music from the heart of opera, as well as
more populist fare. Bring your Union Jacks! Mela will join us again Saturday night
for a concert where Broadway meets the movies. Our special guests this night are
the Strathcona Theater Company, and these kids are amazing!
Nothing can prepare you for the brilliance and ability and sound that Ellis Hall
gives every audience, every time. On Sunday night, its a tribute to Ray Charles, and to
Motown! Our Labour Day finale is unique and dazzling this year, featuring that most
happy and clever work by Saint-Sans, Carnival of the Animals. The Young Composers Project and the 1812 Overture bring the day, and the Festival, to a rousing close.
Thank you once again for your support and the delight of your presence at these
concerts. We hope you have a memorable and exciting weekend!
A proud sponsor of

I witnessed a remarkable natural phenomenon right outside my front door: a large flock
of Bohemian Waxwings hundreds! swirling
rapidly in the sky above. Henceforth, whenever
I heard the distinct whirring produced by their
collective chirping, I eagerly looked up to admire
the cloud of birds making razor-sharp turns in
near-perfect synchronicity.
This avian aerial dance inspired my works
opening gesture, a whirling effect built on a
progression of chords animated by rapid scales
that, like the birds flight patterns, abruptly
change directions. Two contrasting themes follow:
one lively, exuberant and syncopated, constructed
on fragments and variations of itself, the other
lyrical and expansive.
The three themes are continually recycled,
varied each time transposed, rhythmically
altered, reharmonized, reorchestrated, fragmented,
or some combination creating an impression
of cycling repeatedly through familiar material.
It is like observing changes in the scenery while
riding a merry-go-round: that man with the
