They discussed this weekends Concert featuring Mozart's "Magic Flute" Overture, Bizet's "Carmen Suite No. 1" , "Carmen Suite No. 2", and Beethoven's "Symphony No. 1 in C Major".
The first concert is Saturday, March 22 at 7:00 p.m. at Linn-Benton Community College's Russell Tripp Performance Center (Albany) and again Sunday, March 23, at 4:00 p.m. at the Ashbrook Independent School's Theater (Corvallis). Admission: $10 adults / $5 seniors & college/university students / Children are FREE with paid adult.
PRESS RELEASE (short):
"NEWLY FORMED WILLAMETTE VALLEY COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA
TO OFFER INAUGURAL CONCERT"
"Nature abhors a vacuum" as the saying goes. It seems that there is a great deal of truth in that oft repeated quote credited to Aristotle. Right here in the Willamette Valley, the truth of this statement is being borne out by the recent formation of a new community-based symphony orchestra - the Willamette Valley Community Orchestra (WVCO). The speed with which this new ensemble took shape is nearly breathtaking. In the course of a couple of months, it has traveled from a brief thought in a collegial conversation to an actual symphony orchestra that is about to have its first performances!
Sponsored by both the OSU Music Department and Linn-Benton Community College's Arts & Communication Division, the WVCO has an official roster of 44 instrumentalists representing Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon, Sweet Home, Scio, Junction City, and Eugene. Many of these players have performed with the Eugene Symphony, Oregon Mozart Players, Corvallis-OSU Symphony, Newport Symphony, and other regional orchestras.
As a result of this tremendous interest in the organization, a player's committee has been formed and the initial paperwork has been completed to begin the process of attaining the organization's non-profit (501c3) status with both the state and federal governments.
"It isn't our intention to reinvent the New York Philharmonic nor is it our intent or in the best interest of the Willamette Valley for us to create an ensemble that reproduces exactly what the Corvallis-OSU Symphony is doing" says Sean Paul Mills, Music Director & Conductor of the WVCO. Rather, the WVCO is strongly committed to creating a multi-faceted ensemble that will provide not only the opportunity for players who "either can't afford the intense time required for participating in the Corvallis-OSU Symphony or simply don't have the experience to play in a semi-professional environment."
The role of the Willamette Valley Community Orchestra is to offer opportunities for local performers to "appear as soloists with the orchestra, participate in pre-concert discussions about what the music and the musical experience means to them, develop community outreach and educational programs, and to become an integral part of the Willamette Valley."
With that in mind, one of the WVCO's principal goals is to make concerts affordable and easy to attend. "We are structuring our ticket prices so that not only will the WVCO be able to pay its expenses but also so that families with young children will be able to attend as will individuals and families on fixed or limited incomes. We don't want to turn away anyone that wants to participate in a concert experience."
Unlike most Classical music performances, Mills prefers more intimate and relaxed settings for making music. While in Arizona, he created the Music at Red Rocks Concert Series at The Church of the Red Rocks where audiences could sit so close to the guest performers (including groups such as the Alley Cats, Chicago Brass, El Mariachi Tapatio, and Luther College's Nordic Choir) that they could "see the color of the performer's eyes. I hope that we can do the same thing with our audiences in Albany and Corvallis. It is so amazing for a young child or first-time concert attendee to sit near the orchestra and let the moment surround you and draw you in. Music is a participatory art, not some static event where you sit rigidly for the duration and then leave. I want our audiences to enjoy the experience . . . move to the music if they are so inclined, tap their feet, applaud in-between movements, whatever."
With that in mind, the WVCO is offering pre-concert discussions with its music director, musicians, soloists, and other invited guests. These informal discussion are being called "What the Music means to Me", will occur 30 minutes before each WVCO performance, and will provide an opportunity for the audience to interact with the performers and to learn more about the music that they will be hearing performed on the concert.
"It is absolutely thrilling, and nearly overwhelming, to see what a wonderful opportunity this orchestra is for so many Willamette Valley residents. I am nearly speechless with excitement as we get closer and closer to our first performances on March 22 and 23" says Mills. "We have a fine, community-based orchestra filled with absolutely delightful people . . . I only hope that the word will get out and we will see families, couples, and music enthusiasts of all kinds at our performances."

- Average Guys Investment Talk Show: Joining us live Michael Shermer to discuss his fascinating new book: "The Mind of the Market", uncovering the hidden psychology and biology behind money.
Compassionate Apes, Competitive Humans, and Other Tales from Evolutionary Economics by Michael Shermer recently mailed to you. Shermer explains how our tribal ancestry makes us suckers for brands, why researchers believe cooperation unleashes biochemicals similar to those released during sex, why free trade promises to build alliances between nations, and how even capuchin monkeys get indignant if they don't get a fair reward for their work.
When evolutionary thinking and modern psychological theories and techniques are applied to the study of human behavior in the marketplace, we find that the bedrock of traditional economics-that we are selfish, self-maximizing, and self-interested-is often wrong. Instead, as author Michael Shermer argues in THE MIND OF THE MARKET we are driven as much, or possibly even more, by deep and unconscious emotions that evolved over the eons as we are guided by logic and conscious reason.
The theme of Michael Shermer's new book is a graceful paradox. Decades of study of behavioral psychology, neuroscience and genetics, layered over more than a century of evolutionary studies, proves that we're not completely rational in making economic choices," reads a recent New York Post review, "But an understanding of our fascinating limitations, which Shermer provides, makes us freer than we were before we knew of them."
