Composer stereotypes as described by cats
Inspired by the many “as described by cats” posts circulating in the music part of tumblr. I’ve been meaning to make this for awhile, but never got around to it. So here, I give you, in no particular order:
Brahms Cat:
Elgar Cat:
Liszt Cat:
Haydn and Mozart cats, respectively:
(that other guy must be Salieri)
Beethoven Cat:
angsty, of course
Mahler Cat:
so serious
Wagner cat:
Berlioz Cat:
And last but not least, Philip Glass cat:
Get to know Michelle DeYoung
Before you see her on our stage this weekend, take a moment to meet our featured guest artist, mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung.
What is your hometown?
I was born in Grand Rapids Michigan, with all the other Dutch Americans, but mostly raised in Colorado, which is where I currently reside.
What education have you completed?
I have a bachelors of Music and an honorary Doctorate of the Arts.
When/how did you know you wanted to be a singer?
When I was in college, I was in the campus choir. I sang a solo, and the choir director said I should consider a career. I thought, why not try? I will do everything I can and if I get no encouragement by 25, I will quit and do something else. At 23, I won the Met competition and moved to New York to be a young artist there, and I have and worked full time since leaving that 3 year program.
Offstage, you like to…
Be with friends and family, laugh, read, fish, hike, go to museums, go to orchestra concerts (I know, I know...but it's true!!!) and I am a huge sports fan - especially the Denver Nuggets.
Right now, the music/song/piece I can’t stop listening to is….
Halo covered by Ane Brun.
If you weren’t a singer, what would you do for a living?
Something like work in an orphanage in Africa, I think.
What are you hoping to see, do, or eat during your visit to Milwaukee?
I am hoping to not see ice, snow and wind, and to see lots of sun (ha ha)! Honestly, I would like to explore the city a bit, as I didn't get a chance last time I was here.
" I knew that I was going to love this concert, but I had no idea how moving it would ultimately be for me," writes MSO Principal Bassoonist Ted Soluri. You can read his full account of his experience performing with John Williams on his website.
Ha! We love this. We can't wait to perform Don Giovanni live to open our 2014.15 Classics season in just 2 days! Tickets & info at http://bit.ly/MSOcl1

Who knew that sul ponticello could describe tightrope walking?
Now that's a sweet note to end our 2012.13 Classics season on! This weekend: Elgar's "The Dream of Gerontius," May 31 & June 1 at 8pm.
Come enjoy an all Brahms program with the MSO and Edo de Waart, this weekend only, on May 24-26. (That's no joke, either.)
We're looking forward to performing Vaughan Williams's "Fantasia on a Theme By Thomas Tallis" this weekend. We'll also feature our own Jennifer Startt in his Concerto in D minor for Violin and Orchestra.
Oh, trombones.

Seems fair!
Makes sense to us!
Don't miss tunes by Stevie, Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons and more this weekend as we celebrate the Billboard hits of the '60s. Doo-wop!
In addition to featuring The Swingle Singers in Berio's Sinfonia and Associate Concertmaster Ilana Setapen in Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2, we'll perform Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite this weekend.
Note-able Quote: Love - the soul of genius. This weekend, our own Matthew Annin plays Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 2--with love, of course.
Note-able quote: Dvořák’s "From the New World" edition
