Kitchener Waterloo Symphony: Fall 2007
This band has had some tough times these last couple of years but they’ve got a brand new conductor and look set to take the world by storm.
Here’s what Miss Mussel is reserving seats for:
September
14th, 15th & 16th — John Adams The Chairman Dances: Foxtrot for Orchestra
Ravel Piano Concerto in G major; Feldman [...]
“Rinucio is a hottie with a smokin’ body”
So, here’s the thing. Miss Mussel hates crossover artists.
