List,
I have to say I'm one proud father who is beaming ear to ear. As many of you
are aware, I have a multi-faceted career as piano technician, symphony
musician, private clarinet teacher, AND conductor of one very fine youth
symphony.
We've been in concert for the past month doing a very aggressive program:
Eggmont Overture- Beethoven
Vivaldi G min. Violin concerto
Rhapsody in Blue- Gerswin ( Laura Servinsky) Polvetsian Dances - Borodin

My high school daughter is the featured pianist for the Rhapsody in Blue and
I gotta tell you, I am one happy, proud, and damn lucky Dad. Having the
opportunity to conduct and have my own daughter as the solist in Rhapsody in
Blue is one of the greatest thrills of my musical career. Words can't even
begin to describe the sensations I've been experiencing.
The orchestra has been in concert for the last month and we have one more
show to do. My father, who also is a professional musician, has never heard
her play in public before. He'll be at our last concert and I have feeling
the moment is going to get to the best of me. I have a feeling there's going
to be a steady stream of tears out of my eyes, enough to fill a river by the
time the piece ends.
