  To all:

  Here is an upcoming concert that myself, and Bryce Holmes, Principal
Double Bass for the DHS Symphony play in. This will be a different type of
symphony concert, as the music is orchestral jazz. One of the pieces will
be a tenor sax concerto, including drum kit and electric bass, something
very rare to appear in a symphony orchestra. I hope you can come join us
for this exciting concert and great evening of jazz.

  Here is the press release for the concert:

  CAMELLIA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA PRESENTS A JAZZY EVENING OF CLASSICAL MUSIC

  Sacramento, CA—In its 43rd Season, the Camellia Symphony Orchestra will
perform a concert infused with jazz entitled Classical Meets Jazz at the
Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento on Saturday, February 4, 2006 at 8:00
p.m.

  Prior to the concert there will be a “Youth Jazz Session” featuring  jazz
performances  by ensembles from American River College, Rio Americano High
School and Folsom Middle School. Admission to the jazz sessions will be
free with the purchase of a ticket and begins at 6:30 p.m.

  The concert itself has several unique elements including a Sacramento
premiere of music director and conductor, Allan Pollack’s composition
Albion Song with Jazz Saxophone Solo. For this piece, Maestro Pollack will
hand the baton over to guest conductor Paul Simmons while he performs the
saxophone solo. Mr. Pollack
wrote “Albion Song,” a jazz concerto, in the town of Albion, California
located on the Mendocino County coast over a two-year period. “It was
inspired by the peacefulness of that beautiful place, where one is
protected from the madness of unbridled human interaction. There, the
magnificent landscapes and the capricious wild weather inspire an honesty
that is particularly conducive to creativity,” says Allan Pollack.
Another highlight includes a performance by local blues and jazz
singer, Gayiel Von. Ms. Von will perform a Duke Ellington medley entitled 3
by the Duke, When I Fall in Love and The Man that Got Away.


  Concert Program:

Bernstein—Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
Rodgers—Slaughter on Tenth Ave.
Gayiel Von performing 3 by the Duke, When I Fall in Love, The Man that Got
Away
Pollack—Albion Song with jazz saxophone solo, Allan Pollack, saxophone
soloist
