Jan Septon, section violinist with The Phoenix Symphony, did a superb job in organizing this event. It was my first time. I couldn't believe the "standing room only" capacity audience, many of whom appeared to be regulars.
I've always noticed Jan on stage. But, Jan, how did you know that I was "Sonny the Cat" when we first ran into each other at the Icehouse recital?
Maestro Golan is what attracted me to this particular CloseUp session. He is such a down-to-earth friendly guy who can answer any question thrown at him with humor and sophistication. In other words, the perfect Resident Conductor. A "gentle" conductor who can make the orchestra carry out his subtle interpretations without any showboating.
My favorite so far was the Tchaikovsky concert. Maestro, you might have talked me into coming stag to the Valentine's concert. I am now looking forward to the major classical concerts that you will lead next season.
