Ellis Island

KUSC is broadcasting the ninth concert of the Pacific Symphony's 2016-2017 classical concert series tonight at 7 PM (PST).

Listen to Alan Chapman's preview on SoundCloud.

We went to the Sunday concert, which featured just Ellis Island.  I wonder what the electric violin sounds like!  :)


Music director Carl St.Clair conducted, with electric violinist Tracy Silverman.

Frank Ticheli: Blue Shades
John Adams: The Dharma at Big Sur
Peter Boyer: Ellis Island: The Dream of America


Here are the actors of Ellis Island:

Helen Cohen (Poland):  Lesley Fera
James Apanomith (Greece):  Johnathan McClian
Lillian Galletta (Italy):  Samantha Sloyan
Lazarus Salamon (Hungary):  Dean Chekvala
Helen Rosenthal (Belgium):  Kira Sternbach
Manny Steen (Ireland):  Barry Bostwick
Katherine Beychok (Russia):  Lyn Greene

Barry Bostwick, the jolly Irish is a must-hear.  It's not just about the depressing and tragic stuff.  :)


In case you missed it...
