Jazz
Maniacs Delight — The
show is built from the ground up — we literally start with the
offered fee. The more bodies we can generate, the better it is,
because we’re talking about a variety of styles of jazz extending
over a period up to four hours. The musicians choose each other,
which assures that the quality is high. We’re emphasizing the
music, here. We’re not pushing famous musicians, but rather great
but little-known musicians. The styles are kaleidoscopic over the
evening, with different styles coming and going. This is a marvelous
way to introduce audiences to jazz and should be done in such a way
that people can come and go, too (between numbers!). The
"maniacs" should enjoy a full program of wonderful jazz
and like jazz itself, no two programs will be alike.
Where
in the World of Music is Carmen Sandiego?™
Gary Sheldon, Music Director
— A delightful family concert in
which Gary Sheldon leads your orchestra, with the help of Inspector
Clue-Not, to locate and return the musical treasures Carmen Sandiego
just stole (Carnegie Hall, Liberty Bell, etc.). Using repertoire the
orchestra has available at the time, the audience is led on a
musical journey exploring the different styles and types of music in
an informative and engaging manner. The program can be tailored to
full-scale concert length, or shorter versions, and can incorporate
soloists or community personages. Since beginning the program in the
mid-1990's Maestro Sheldon has taken Carmen Sandiego to numerous
orchestras across the country, including Detroit, Utah and Spokane. http://www.gsheldon.com/carmen/programs.html |
