Tom McCall Waterfront Park the morning of last year's concert.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yes, the 2011-2012 Oregon Symphony season is about to start. Wednesday morning marks our first rehearsal of the season, working on the repertoire for Thursday’s Waterfront Concert<\/a> downtown. The Portland Youth Philharmonic under David Hattner is our opening act (they always sound terrific) at 5 pm, and the OSO takes the stage at 7 pm. It’s free to anyone who wants to attend, and it will not be hot this year (you might even need a sweater!). So come one, come all.<\/p>\n

Some years, I’m burned out before I even begin. Other years, I’m raring to go. This year, I’m not sure where I am, but it will be good to be back making music and catching up with my colleagues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
