I’ve been reading the St. Louis Symphony’s blog<\/a> and have found it an interesting and entertaining read. Perhaps this is something that the OSO might want to try, with different staff members writing about different aspects of the sprawling operation that is a major symphony orchestra. In the latest entry<\/a> there is mention of OSO music director Carlos Kalmar, and his visit to the SLSO next season.<\/p>\n

Last would be Prokofiev 5 with (Carlos) Kalmar (Many Worlds, Apr 17-18). He is a great up-and-coming maestro and the Prokofiev was the piece that won the SLSO a Grammy. To put it simply, the SLSO owns Prokofiev 5.<\/p>\n

– SLSO principal bassist Erik Harris<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the Musicians of the Oregon Symphony have a repertoire blog up on their web site, called The Works<\/a> – always a good stop before diving in to the upcoming season or set of concerts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
