On Monday, Aug. 8, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's single tickets went on sale to the public. In this blog post, I mentioned a few of my favorite pieces, concerts, moments that I was excited about, and I also included what percussionist Paul Berns was looking forward to.
And now, we have violinist Jennifer Greenlee and Principal Bassoon John Wetherill submitting their picks. Lo and behold...there's some similarity here!
From Jen Greenlee:
I found it difficult to find highlights, because the programs are all really exciting! I'm really looking forward to working with our new Music Director Krzysztof Urbanski, but aside from his concerts, the program that I can't wait for is Jan. 20-21, when we perform Prokofiev's Lt. Kijé suite.
I remember listening to that piece over and over when I was about 4 years old, on a record of George Szell with the Cleveland Orchestra. There's something about Prokofiev, and that piece in particular, that really stirs my soul. I found a CD of that recording as an adult, and it's one of my top iTunes plays! I'm excited to see that the following weekend we're playing Prokofiev's 4th symphony, which I haven't played before, so I'm really excited about that, too.
From John Wetherill:
I am looking forward to playing the Leutenant Kije Suite. It seems like it's been a long time since we played it. It is such a masterpiece in orchestration. Prokofiev is one of my personal favorites.
