I'm in Africa...woohoo!

Everything is great and weird and wonderful. Did anyone see Babel or Syriana? That's what it looks like. It's AWESOME!

Ok, bye.

Come support great art!

Seriously...this is an AMAZING deal to see great artwork, and listen to beautiful music for crazy cheap prices. If you are in the area, PLEASE COME!! Read on...

The ASO will be performing this weekend at Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock, Arkansas, including a special performance of David Itkin’s Pulitizer Prize-nominated tone poem, “Jonah.” The evening’s performance, presented in conjunction with our 2007 art festival, will be a unique blend of the musical and visual arts in a celebration of three years of art festivals: 2005’s “Exploring the 23rd Psalm,” 2006’s “Beginnings,” and 2007’s “Jonah.” The artwork from those three festivals will be projected on screen during the performances. The Arkansas Arts Council has also provided a grant in collaboration with the symphony performances.

The musical numbers the symphony will perform are listed below:
MILHAUD La Creation du monde, Op. 18a
ITKIN Exodus - Psalm 23 (mm. 238-308)
Paul Rowe, baritone
BARBER Adagio for Strings
ITKIN Jonah
Michael Cates, narrator

Friday's performance is at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday's are at 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. All seats are general admission.

Tickets are one for $15 each, two-nine for $12.50 each, and ten or more for $10 each. We believe that these are excellent prices!
