After the intermission (you can see my first half post), the full orchestra came back minus the piano. They played Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 in A Major, Op. 90 in honor of what would have been Mendelssohn’s 200th birthday. I really enjoyed this piece. It consisted of four movements. I particularly liked the final movement, [...]
Well, we are at the halfway point of the symphony, and so far it has been very good. It started differently with no on stage when the lights went down. Then a group of 11 (an eleventet ?) came out and played a Bach Concerto.
Then the featured pianist came out and played Mozart’s Concerto No. [...]
Thanks to posts from Doug and Byron and the fine folks at the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, my wife and I are once again attending Blogger Night at the KSO this evening. You can see my posts from last year HERE and HERE.
I will post a review afterwards tonight or first thing in the morning. I [...]
As I was traveling back from a weekend in Pennsylvania yesterday, a church shooting took place in Knoxville at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. Comments are abounding about people’s feelings towards this church and congregation. That is sad. I obviously have differences with this church’s beliefs, but this is certainly not the time to be [...]
After a New York Times article about Knoxville last week, there has been much talk about a nickname they mention for the city.
KNOXVILLE is often called “the couch” by the people who live there. It’s a place too unassuming to shout about but too comfortable to leave.
Interesting. However, nobody has ever heard it referred to [...]
Take a minute to check out KnoxvilleTalks.com. It is run by WBIR and Katie Allison Granju. It appears to be a pretty good site so far. It is time East TN had something like this in response to Music City Bloggers, Volunteer Voters (also out of Nashville), and the much changed Nashville is Talking. Here [...]

Alright, so I realize it is now the next morning and this is no longer even semi-live blogging the symphony. However, I thought it best to keep a similar title for fluidity.The second half of the concert was wonderful. Whereas the first half was new music by American composers which are still alive, [...]
As mentioned earlier, my wife and I are attending the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra tonight as their guests. It is intermission, and so far it has been outstanding.
Jeffrey Biegel is the guest pianist who played a concerto which was written for him. It was Concerto No. 3 for Piano and Orchestra. He easily played every key [...]
Tonight is the night of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra Concert that I wrote about HERE. I will be attending, as will several other bloggers from around the area. I’m not sure any details except where to pick up my tickets. I am looking forward to the event.
