Unfortunately,
this is my last week as an
ISO intern.
I have had a great three months learning from the wonderful
people here at the Symphony, exploring orchestral music, meeting
the musicians and doing
lots of writing for them.
What a fun experience!
Although I'm graduating and moving on to new opportunities,
I have a feeling I will never really 'get away' from the
Symphony. I know I'll be back to chat with the people I've met here
and, of course, to attend some of the great upcoming
concerts!

If
you've visited the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra this
season, hopefully you have noticed the newest feature of our
program book, the "About the Instrument" section on page six. We
ask the musicians to tell us about their instrument, its mechanics,
its history and what makes it a unique and necessary part of the
orchestra. This gives the audience insight into what is happening
onstage and behind the scenes to create the wonderful music they
hear.
As part of my internship, I've had the...

The
title says it all. Making music and changing lives is what the
Indy Symphony does. And now, you have a very special chance to
help us change the lives of deserving children.
On April 15, the Indianapolis Symphony and the Columbia Club will
host "Making Music Changing Lives," a fundraising event
for the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra (MYO), and we would love for
you to join us!
MYO is an amazing program sponsored by the ISO's Learning Community
that provides individual and chamber music lessons...

It's
finally here!
The
2011-2012 season has arrived and it is filled with concerts
that will arouse great memories, take you on a tour of the world
and challenge the musicians to perform at their highest level. Live
music in Indianapolis seems to get better with every season at the
Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra!
Three concerts have me particularly excited!
Urbanski Conducts Smetana, March 29-31, will be
Bohemian perfection. I was fascinated to learn that Smetana
composed most of this...

This is my sixth week at the Indianapolis Symphony
Orchestra and I am finally starting to get my desk organized.
Just a little behind, right?
It does my Type A heart good to see a freshly-organized stack
of manila file folders labeled and stuffed and sitting in my desk
organizer next to my stacks of ISO program books
and collateral materials. What can I say, I'm a neat
freak.
The best part of organizing my desk was that as I separated my
messy stack of papers, I realized just how many...

On
Feb. 27, Dan Kamin will bring side-splitting, family-friendly
comedy to Hilbert Circle Theatre--without saying a word. In a
performance of
"The Classical Clown" with the ISO and
conductor David Glover, Kamin will play a mischievous clown who
battles the conductor for control of the orchestra. His masterful
physical comedy is sure to delight everyone from toddlers to their
grandparents.
Kamin's comedy resume is impressive--he trained Johnny Depp and
Robert Downey, Jr. for their acclaimed...

Wow.
I cannot believe that I've been the communications intern at the
ISO for three
weeks now! It has been a great experience so far and I'm sure it
will only continue to get better.
To commemorate my first three weeks at the ISO, I'm sharing "Three
in Three," three things I've learned about the symphony in my first
three weeks--and three things that you should know, too!
1. The ISO's music is truly phenomenal.
I must ashamedly admit that I had never been to an
ISO performance before starting my...
