Blogging, running, celebrating

Who knew that my summer project would be to learn how to blog? If you haven’t already checked out the Kingston Symphony’s newly designed website, please do so at www.kingstonsymphony.on.ca.

I confess that I have felt "blog" before but this will be my first ever Blog experience. What does blog stand for? The first person to send me a comment with the answer wins a fantastic Kingston Symphony CD! Please write me with your questions, comments and suggestions and I will be happy to respond.

In the meantime, we are looking forward to our two traditional summer events. Join us Sunday morning, June 6, in front of City Hall for a free concert of Beethoven’s Eroica symphony. Approximately 1,000 runners and walkers will start the race at 10:30 a.m. to "Beat Beethoven." Everyone wins! This is a great chance for kids of all ages to hear great music in an informal and exciting setting. (You don't have to walk or run.)

On Friday and Saturday, July 16 and 17, we once again present evening concerts at wonderful Fort Henry. These concerts will feature music for all ages and will be great fun. Of course as usual we will end the concerts with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture with the Fort Henry Guard, real cannon fire and spectacular fireworks.

I really look forward to next year's concerts and celebrating my 20th season with the Kingston Symphony Association. In the meantime, have a safe and happy summer!
