Thanks for the book recco, will check it out when I have time.

Awesome vid, thanks for sharing man!!

Thats not a lot to help them lol

I love any of her music, plus she's hot --- for a girl lol

It's interesting because our orchestra here in Van City, has the highest amount of subrsciptions of all American/Canadian Orchestras. Hmm our orchestra won a juno and a gramy and the far back seats are usally $70-80 so not that much cheaper Tety. But we're a smaller city than Phily. Our theathre holds 3,200. How much does Verizon hall hold? They have a student deal: The Philadelphia Orchestra offers several options for college students to attend subscription concerts for reduced prices, including the eZseatU college ticket program, which allows access to unlimited subscription concerts for a $25 membership fee; $10 student understudy tickets available online; and $8 student rush tickets at the Box Office. $25 for a full year is pretty cheap! http://www.philorch.org/ezseatu.html

Thanks for talking about animals in this post, was enlightening.

No they probably don't advertise that. But PA allows gay marriage right? And I seriously doubt they are going bankrupt because of Yannick. He's an amazing conductor, and the other orchestras he works with are doing fine. I do know the musicians refused to accept they wouldn't be getting raises or pay cuts, cant' believe they don't want to chip into help. I'm sure there are other musicians out there who'd be happy to take their place and work for less.

Ha ha Canucks won last night! I'm telling you this is our year!

Our vancouver orchestra won a grammy for that recording of Ehnes playing some concerto. (The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra...) He's coming in June to play Tchaikovsky Concerto. Beethoven Symphony 3 is great, I love it Got some great solo lines, that you really need to practice for ha ha

They have a 140 mill grant though oo...HOWS the money used up hmm?

Thanks for sharing tim

Not sure how much of a mad house it is Rakuten Maybe you should say house of cuties and great friends...

There's a lot of lifehouse in smallville. There's a powerful smallville video of that song on youtube.

Why can't anyone support the Canucks! GO nucks GO

He has a naughty and nice side. That's why there's sweet and sour pork lol

You know it's funny because Curtis and Julliard have tons of students auditioning to get in. It's all Cd audition, then audition, then final audition. Our Canadian Orchestras seem to be doing well even after Harpers cuts. grrr. We all just make less than half of what you americans make. Maybe that's why your orchestras are full of Canadians ha ha...

I love the I am on his health insurance. If you watch Grey's Anatomy Teddy marries Henry so he get's her insurance. But yup makes sense. After 3 months of living together in canada, your considered common law partners and I am pretty sure you have all the same rights as a married couple. But then gay marriage is legal through all of canada so why'd you not want to jump on that boat if you want marriage anyway...

No because look at Gustavo Dudamel of the LA Phil who has a wife and a baby boy. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/culturemonster/2011/04/gustavo-dudamel-and-wife-welcome-baby-boy-martin-in-la.html Kurt Masur. Is on his third marriage to a women. "Masur was born in Brieg, Lower Silesia, Germany (now Brzeg in Poland) and studied piano, composition and conducting in Leipzig, Saxony. Masur has been married three times. His second wife, with whom he had a daughter, died in 1972 in a car accident in which Masur was severely injured.[1] He and his third wife, Tomoko, have a son, Ken, a classical singer and conductor.[2]" Dutoit, is on his fourth marriage to a women. "Dutoit shuns publicity and protects his private life from the media. He has been married four times, including a marriage to the world-renowned concert pianist Martha Argerich, to the economist Marie-Josée Drouin, and to Canadian violinist Chantal Juillet.[7] His first marriage was to Ruth Cury, by whom he has a son, Ivan, who lives in Santa Monica, California with his family. He also has a daughter, Anne-Catherine, by his marriage to Argerich" You have lots to learn Yang about the classical musicians, just because they are in classical music doesn't mean they are gay. It's interesting because Orchestras in Europe don't seem to be struggling for example. Medium sized cities in France (eg Lille, Lyon....) can keep a symphony orchestra, an opera house, choirs, period performance orchestras, etc? Nothing is hunky-dory, but somehow they manage.

What about the gays or lesbians, whose parents won't attend their wedding, because they are against homosexuality. I've seen friends get married and sometimes part of the family is not there or the whole family. It's so sad, but that's life, and it's the family's loss. And what about gay married couples, you really think Institutions would be more up for giving a loan to a gay couple to say a gay man? I have a friend who chose to work in one bank because thats the only bank that's really gay friendly..

Some videos: 1) Yannick signs contract with the PO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdRcVdVaVsg 2)Here is an interview with him:

Really powerful words, thanks for taking the time to post.

Today the Philadelphia Orchestra filed for bankruptcy. Since it's one of the few major Orchestras led by an openly gay conductor. I thought I'd post this. Let's make it really clear that obviously they are not going into bankruptcy cause their conductor is gay. http://www.google.co...155eae2a2299025 More on Gay Conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin: http://en.danlan.org...Article_216.htm http://www.towleroad...-orchestra.html
