Hello Everyone :) It's that time again and by now I think you know the score (see what I did there ;) Let's meet at the entrance at 7:15pm and I'll be there by 7pm to meet everyone. I'm keeping the numbers to 11 including myself so we have a better chance to sit together. Of course any and all are welcome. Take note-this is the 2nd last performance for this season. As you are aware a lot of artistic shows happen during the cold/rainy months and are on hiatus for sunny/warm outdoor weather. *Update from original post* Louise will not be in this performance and she provided me a Spotify playlist . There is an intermission but no concession. Feel free to bring some water and/or a discreet snack. Mozart: Cosi fan tutte K.588: Overture https://open.spotify.com/track/62hEWfm4vaiTxjVFv1BtPE?si=e7aa452726414d75 Grieg: Piano concerto in A minor, op. 16* (3 tracks in the Spotify link only) https://open.spotify.com/album/2YC2wm5w3uH5TzIrchoKkw?si=llyyGWUhTLamhASHp5sJ4g Dvorak: Symphony No. 8 https://open.spotify.com/album/6IJ8RUE8M41y5NigsXblU5?si=vx0RwW59Rbm7lQs9qQy3Hg Yariv Aloni, Guest Conductor Michelle Mares, Piano* If you are new then here is what I posted from past performances: Photo is of actual orchestra and venue. If you have never heard of the West Coast Orchestra they are like the 'farm team' to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. The musicianship is outstanding, the venue and acoustics are beautiful. Tickets are by donation and the recommended amount is $20-30 but 'pay what you can' is fine too. Highly suggest you buy in advance as it usually sells out. As some of you know a close friends wife, Louise, is the 1st Violin. She's happy to come over during intermission to have a chat.

On my way. Wearing an orange puffy jacket and black ballcap for those that don't me. I'll probably be inside the main doors in the lobby just past where they scan your tix. See you soon.

I’m on the metro, which is being delayed due to some medical emergency. May be arriving later than 7.15.

There's a medical emergency on SkyTrain. Canada line is not moving. I've been sitting for 10 min and no trains are moving. Unfortunately I'll probably be late.

Good Morning Everyone, Thanks for coming out last night. I really enjoyed that performance. I had to go somewhere right after and that's why I left first. There is one more performance of the season on June 16th. I may not be able to host that one but will if I can. I also looked up that amazing pianist, Michelle Mares, she's from Vancouver, has a studio here, and was considered a child prodigy. Here's her link: http://michellemares.ca/biography/ Great to see you all and have a wonderful weekend, M
