This concert was broadcast live on KUSC, and will be recast on February 8th next year, at 7 PM PST.
Too bad this is the only live concert, and the recasts probably won't include the intermission interviews with Rich Capparela...
I was able to see KUSC president Brenda Barnes live on stage, which is a first.
Alan Chapman interviewed Joshua Bell and Christopher Rouse in the pre-concert lecture.
Here are some fun facts I got out of it.
When applying for the conservatory, you need to submit two works of your own.
Christopher Rouse wrote his first two compositions, a simple piece for male choir, and his symphony No. "2".
So if you are going to pursue a career in composing, you can try skipping some opuses to impress people. :)
Joshua Bell did another metro performance, this time at the Union Station on Tuesday.
Last time, he made $52 in 40 minutes, so if you own a Stradivarius and are very good at playing it, you may fare better than minimum wage. :)
