The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra kicks off the 2007-2008 Season with the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir on Sunday, September 9 at Hilbert Circle Theatre downtown. The show starts at 6PM and should be a good one. The choir only has a small part of the full program, as we’re singing a portion of Tchaikovsky’s famous “1812 Overture” in the traditional Russian tone “O Lord, save Thy people” (but in zee Mozzer Russian tongue, ov course). We are also doing a small excerpt of Verdi’s opera “Aida”. Check out the ISO link on the blog here for details. 

DISCLAIMER: Yes, this is a shameless plug for a concert that features yours truly-”the young, up-and-coming star tenor (quotes the NY Times) who will single-handedly steal the show and stun the audience on his way to a promising career on the opera stage”–a show which is, in my opinion, a bit on the pricey side; but hey, nobody goes to the symphony anymore so why don’t we just jack up the price so nobody can afford it anyway, right?

    Your logic doesn’t make sense. And I’d rather you be a film score composer than a tenor, but that’s just me.

    What? The logic of my not-so-hidden disclaimer? Leave it to the Brain to point out other peoples’ illogicalitiousnessiousness. Just kidding, you’re right. It wasn’t intended to be logical. Just a bit of venting, I suppose. I’m jaded because nearly every concert in Bloomington was free.

    Also, one can be a composer and tenor all for the price of one.

    I didn’t even notice the disclaimer until the second time I read the post. What size is that font, 1px?

    You are a composer, a tenor, and a delight all at once. Well done.

    Yes, it is 1px. I wasn’t sure if you had seen that little extra line when you commented or not. Probably 1.3px would have been a bit more clear. I’ll do better next time.

    I also missed the disclaimer and was wondering what logic Brain was referring to. Then I spent ten minutes looking all over your blog for other hidden messages. I haven’t found any yet, but I’m convinced there there. There, there.

    Whilst saying that, I just had an image of Phil comforting Suzie and Brian saying she was like a little cat cuddled in his arm. Meow.

    And before someone tries to be snide and point out how the first there should have been “they’re,” I did that so I could make the Phil comment. So their.
