A concert to remember

Paavo Jarvi reacts to the standing ovation at the announcement that he staying at least until 2011. The other photo is composer Charles Coleman accepting ovations for his piece, "Deep Woods." Thanks to Jeff Swinger for these photos.

Here's a message from Laura Lawson about last night:

"My 8 1/2-year-old daughter and I were two of the 1,700 at last night's concert. We were coming for the Pastoral Symphony, because it's one of her favorite classical pieces. However, she also really enjoyed "Deep Woods," and whispered to me during the piece, "It sounds like Bambi when the forest caught on fire." I'm going to have to get out that DVD again soon and listen more closely! We can't wait to hear it again on WGUC."

Thanks for writing, Laura!
