00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:06.400
Good morning, good morning, good
morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:10.679
It is time now for our community
connection right here on K one,

3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.599
the one you trust, and Kathy
Stewart is in with it's your first Presbyterian

4
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.839
church, or is the folks get
trendy ecy first press, first press.

5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:27.399
That's right, but we've got some
magical Lenten musical moments to talk about.

6
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.160
It kicks off today. It kicks
off today. I was late getting this

7
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:36.359
out and then I suddenly realized,
oh that is like now, so we've

8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.479
got to get after it. Years
gone by fast. Oh so far it

9
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:45.960
has. What do we have going
on today today? The music starts at

10
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.039
twelve fifteen and you can come early
and grab yourself a sack lunch. Hey,

11
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.359
it's the best deal in town.
Five dollars dinner in a show.

12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.840
Yeah, it's sack lunch. You
get a sandwich, you get some chips,

13
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.640
get a cookie, and you get
some water. It's perfect. And

14
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.959
did you get some soul inspiring music? You get some calming inspiring music.

15
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:17.640
Today is our wonderful cellist Gulia Gould, Nada Garapova Hollipeter, who has been

16
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:23.640
gosh, I think she's in her
nineteenth season with Artleszel Symphony. Yes nineteenth

17
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:29.120
season. She plays principal cello a
good portion of the time and is quite

18
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.599
talented. Also is a local teacher
and has really helped so many of our

19
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.000
kids become fine cellist in and of
their own right. So it's a real

20
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:44.319
honor to hear her. She's going
to be doing playing some of the more

21
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:52.120
famous classical cello solos, including Oh
There's a bach Ariosa, and then the

22
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.319
San sans the Swan, which we
all know which and is beautiful from the

23
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.000
Ballet or from Carnival the Animals.
I don't know what it's from. At

24
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.519
any rate, you're gonna know when
you hear it, and you're gonna love

25
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:07.919
it because it is just so beautiful. The cello has got one of the

26
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:14.199
widest ranges of any of the instruments
out there, so it's it's just a

27
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:19.599
joy to see her command that instrument. It has a full, resonant sound.

28
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.199
It just fills up a room.
If I could take up a stringed

29
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.759
instrument personally, it would probably be
the cello. I just think it's beautiful.

30
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.439
At any rate, she will be
playing for us today and then next

31
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.039
week. This is one you don't
want to miss. It will warm your

32
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:42.400
heart like nothing else. The chime
Choir from Green Country Village is going to

33
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.639
be coming out to play. This
is a group I think. I was

34
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:50.479
told their average age is eighty four. And they're loving it and they are

35
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.159
loving it, and we are loving
watching them play. And they played for

36
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.639
us last year, I think,
and it was just a joy to behold.

37
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.080
Their director just had her birthday.
I believe she's ninety four and still

38
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.319
having fun, still having fun.
And when I talked to her, she

39
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:13.280
said, this group brings me so
much joy because they love it and I

40
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.919
love it, and she was the
driving force behind it. And we're talking

41
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:21.400
about somebody in their nineties. It
is never too late to start something,

42
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:24.199
and this woman is proof of it. VLOY is a joy. Now you're

43
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:29.439
bringing back another one of our kind
of like a mainstay anymore. When we

44
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.479
first started talking about this group at
their brand news, Yeah, but now

45
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.639
they're kind of calling you guys home
for a little They kind of are,

46
00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:40.759
and it's just a wonderful thing and
they love it and we love it.

47
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.479
Yeah, we all love it,
and so I do encourage you to come

48
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:51.159
out and see them. March sixth
is Pro Grason Company and oh they are

49
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.240
just fantastic. They're a family group, they are. They really do all

50
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:01.360
ranges. I would say bluegrass is
of one of their main genres. Yeah,

51
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:08.319
it is, and they are spectacular. They have several CDs out which

52
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:12.800
I know will be available for sale, and I have a few of them,

53
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.800
and they are absolutely wonderful. Makes
the ride go so much nicer,

54
00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:20.879
doesn't it It does? You know, there's the whole music about just being

55
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.439
able to get away. You get
away from the politics, you get away

56
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:30.279
from whatever angst is going on in
your personal life and you just come and

57
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.240
be bathed in music and enjoy and
you're good and you're good and that's what

58
00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:42.199
artists and these these performers do.
So I do encourage you to come out

59
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:47.360
and see them. March thirteenth,
or yes, March thirteenth. The ad

60
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.319
Libs are back. Yeah. Fun, they have so much They do have

61
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:55.040
so much fun. They'll called the
ad libs. I think they've said it

62
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.959
before that they don't make mistakes.
They add lib and that's that is kind

63
00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:01.600
of they've never heard of make a
mistake. No, I haven't either,

64
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:05.879
So they do a great job that's
going to be on the thirteenth, then

65
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:10.720
the following and they they do a
wide range of music, mostly a lot

66
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:16.040
of fun, fun things. The
following week we have a quartet. These

67
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:21.560
are all members of the Bartlesville Corral, but they're not necessarily affiliated with the

68
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:29.079
Corral, but they are really fine
singers. Be doing a lot of probably

69
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:33.839
I would guess mostly Barken even earlier
into the renaissance, So we'll be looking

70
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:39.279
at some stuff by talent. It
is going to be an interesting sound,

71
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:46.800
and it's good to remember the history, I think from where we derive bluegrass,

72
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:51.120
and we derive even rock and roll. It comes from period that right

73
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:57.199
there, the early madrigals, the
early talis, the baroken, and the

74
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:02.000
very beginnings of harmonization. It comes
from that, and it comes from singers,

75
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.759
so it's kind of fun. The
original instrument our voice on the twenty

76
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:15.439
seventh Ronda Carr, who many of
you know as the orchestra director at Martinsville

77
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.839
High School, Yes, and who
is a very talented violinist. She is

78
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:23.439
I've heard her play. She is
very talented. She will be joining us

79
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:28.000
and will be doing a short concert
as well, So I'm really looking forward

80
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.360
to that. Ronda has never played
for us before, which is my fault.

81
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:36.360
You know, I just need to
ask. So you go and I

82
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:41.839
saw. I'm absolutely thrilled that Ronda
will be joining us to play the violin,

83
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:46.759
and that will be during Holy Weeks, so I anticipate some absolutely beautiful

84
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.439
music. You know, this is
great. This is right in the middle

85
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.360
of the day, in the middle
of the week for the next six weeks,

86
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.360
starting today, starting today, and
all you have to do is go

87
00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.519
down the first Presbyterian Church right downtown
in the heart of everything. Yeah,

88
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:03.879
and for five dollars you can have
lunch there as well. Music is always

89
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.560
free. The music is always free, But grab a lunch. Yeah,

90
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.600
just recharge your batteries, refresh your
soul, and walk out of there with

91
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:18.120
a clear head and a new perspective
online. That's what I say. Goodness

92
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.600
sakes, I don't know how you
do this, because you do this as

93
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:27.800
we go into Christmas sometimes, and
we do this at Lan and it really

94
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:34.439
is quite a beautiful arrangement of artists
and just something different every time. I'm

95
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:40.399
tickled that we have this variety of
musicians here in town, and this caliber

96
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.959
of musicians here in town. We're
blessed. We are very blessed, and

97
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.120
I'm looking forward. I know that
there are some new ensembles that are starting

98
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.879
to form, and I'm looking forward
to maybe including them in future seasons.

99
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.920
So maybe Advent, maybe Lent.
We'll see. I've got I got,

100
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:00.160
I got a guy. I know
a guy. You know a guy.

101
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.680
I know a guy. We'll talk. We'll talk. Actually, the man

102
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.639
plays keyboard and guitar and bass all
at the same time, and he plays

103
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.519
beautiful. Are you serious? He
created one of the best Christmas albums ever.

104
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.000
I'll let you know about it.
We will talk, will we will

105
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:22.319
talk. This will be fun and
it's it's gentle in the years and really

106
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.199
really gets the soul feeling good as
well. But this is first Presbyterian Church,

107
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.879
and don't forget to have first Presbyterian
Church. It's not just open on

108
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.759
Wednesdays for this right. We've got
regular worship service. We have regular worship

109
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:39.039
services as well. We also have
Wednesday night study and we have we have

110
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.320
meals on Wednesday nights as well.
Wednesday's busy. Wednesday's a very busy day

111
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.000
for us. And then of course
there is our Sunday worship service at ten

112
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.960
thirty. So now tell everybody in
case they don't know where First Presbyterian Church

113
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.399
is a lone downtown. We're right
on the corner of Fifth and Dewey,

114
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.440
directly west of the Price Tower.
Can't miss it, Oh, you can't

115
00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.279
miss that. And yeah, right
down there and the front doors will be

116
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.559
unlocked a little bit before twelve,
so just come on in and join us.

117
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.440
This is great. That's about the
best friendliest invitation I've had for lunch

118
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.200
at a show. Ye a long
long time, well since last Christmas.

119
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.799
Yeah, Cassie, thank you very
much. And I got to tell you

120
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.000
that really is a labor of love
that you and your team put together in

121
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.799
order to make these letting magical,
musical moments take place, and also as

122
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.159
we get ready for Christmas too with
Advent. And I know it's a labor

123
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.639
of love, but the smile on
your face says it all. It's there.

124
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.120
It's all about the music. It's
all about you know. Let's just

125
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.399
admit what we have in common,
and that is a love of peace and

126
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.919
a love of music. Indeed,
thank you for being yours so welcome.

127
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:50.000
Look forward to seeing y'all
