Attention: Because of California's educational financial crisis, many Adult School classes have been cancelled or cut back. The good news is that our Orchestra class will continue to be supported. The not-so-good news is that class fees have been increased for the 2009/2010 school year to $90 for the year ($60 for winter enrollees, $30 for spring only). If any member of the orchestra has a financial (or other) issue with the new class fees, it is the policy of the orchestra to not prevent anyone from participating due to financial need. If you have any questions or concerns, please talk with Maestro Josh or Jerry Green, principal of the Adult School.

Kudos to our own Elizabeth Gaston (flute)! She'll be living her dream
this summer by playing at the Keowee Chamber Music Festival in the Carolina
mountains!
http://www.keoweechambermusic.org/ She'll be performing in all
the concerts during the first week of the festival with a fantastic guitarist as
well as playing a couple of solo pieces that she performed in Arizona for the
Flute Society Competition last November. "This is a renaissance for me! Playing
again professionally is a dream-come-true. If you were given a second chance at
life, can you imagine the possibilities?"
rondeau (RON-do) noun A poem of 13 lines with two rhymes and the
opening words used as a refrain in two places.
[From Old French rondeau (little circle), from rondel, diminutive of rond
(round). Ultimately from the Indo-European root ret- (to run or to roll) that is
also the source of rodeo, rotunda, rotate, and roulette.] Various forms of
rondeaux may have 10 or 15 lines.
"If you are new to French forms, you might want to compose a rondeau or
two before attempting the redouble."
