So first of all, I blogged about the KW Symphony’s 10/11 season over here. KWSocial, that thing over there, is something I’ve been working on here for the past few weeks.  I’ll admit I was skeptical at first – another social networking site? – but I’ve been rethinking its purpose, and I like the idea of a place where people can interact with musicians without it being creepy, as an aggregator for KWS news, reviews, and discussion, as a place where people new to the orchestra (and old hands) can find out about the music, local restaurants, parking and venues, and where it is relaxed and comfortable, and I am given basically free reign to write sassy FAQs.

Okay, so I really like being given free reign to write sassy FAQs.

This week we’re having a concert about Music and Food (best idea ever), and the way this concert is programmed is basically amazing.  You have to admit this is genius. It is set up like a multi-course meal!

We begin with dinner music

Raymond Scott: Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals

Leading to a nice amuse bouche

Per Nørgard: Pastorale from Babette’s Feast

Drinks, anyone?

Shostakovich: Tahiti Trot (Tea for Two)

Sitting down to dinnerrrr

Vaughan Williams: “March Past of the Kitchen Utensils” from The Wasps

Vegetables

John Estacio: “The Harversters” from A Farmer’s Symphony

Entrée

Cole Porter arr. E. Outwater: “The Tale of the Oyster”

Chocolate gateau for dessert

Lee Hoiby: Bon Appetit

After-dinner mints

Strawberry Alarm Clock arr. Nicole Lizée: Incense and Peppermint

Delicious, n’est-ce pas? I am very excited! I am even attending the concert (Friday night) for the first time in a while (I have to work every concert, so I usually don’t go in, but I get a night off to go).
