Right! Since it’s little over a week until the first concert of the Lakeshore Chamber Orchestra 2006-07 season, consider this your official notification and invitation to an evening of excellent music!
Next Saturday evening, November 18, at 19h30 (this time now confirmed) we will be presenting a wonderfully varied programme for your listening enjoyment:
Overture to “The Devil in Hydraulicus” – Schubert
Melody in F, op. 3 no. 1 – Rubenstein
Symphony no. 8 in F major – Beethoven
“Waves of the Danube” waltz – Ivanovici
Two Hungarian Dances – Brahms
“Skaters’ Waltz” – Waldteufel
Admission is $10 per person; entrance is free for those under 18 years of age. The concerts usually last a couple of hours, a bit longer if there’s an intermission.
The concert takes place in Pointe-Claire at Valois United Church, on the corner of Belmont and King. The 203 and 204 buses stop within one to three blocks away, and the Dorion/Rigaud commuter train stops at the foot of Queen. While there are general public transport directions here for you, I usually encourage people who are carless to find someone who has a car and share the cost of the driver’s admission to the concert among them. It’s more fun to enjoy the evening in the company of others. (Here’s a map for those of you who will be driving.)
Soothe the gloom of November with an evening of soul-warming music! See you there!
