CONCERT TALKS

Pre-Concert Talk

OPENING NIGHT
Friday, August 3:  7:00-7:30pm
Preceding Colourful World Concert
FREE event, outside the Civic Auditorium

It’s Opening Night and you’re invited to join Maestro Marin Alsop and guest composers for a pre-concert introduction to the 2007 season!

Pre-Rehearsal Talks 
Pre-Rehearsal Talks take place at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, 307 Church Street, Santa Cruz
FREE event sponsored by:

Thursday, August 2:  6:45-7:15pm
Roger Emanuels, longtime Cabrillo Festival Orchestra member, music educator, and Symphony Silicon Valley player and pre-concert lecturer, on Raise the Roof

Tuesday, August 7:  6:45-7:15pm   
Phyllis Rosenblum, music columnist for the Santa Cruz Sentinel, on Music at the Mission

Wednesday, August 8:  6:45-7:15pm  
Philip Collins, artistic director of New Music Works, composer, conductor, and a popular guest lecturer at regional colleges, on Concentric Paths

Sometimes the smallest details about a piece of music or its composer give you that "lightbulb over the head" feeling, or spark your interest deeply. In 2007 the Festival will again offer free talks by lecturerers who bring their love and knowledge of the music to informal sessions preceding Open Rehearsals at the Civic Auditorium, and their enthusiasm about music will kindle your own.

Post-Concert Talkback Session
Saturday, August 4: Post Concert
