00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.919
<v Speaker 1>It's a busy day today with us here and k

2
00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>one for our community connections. And standing by on the

3
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>telephone is Mary Lynn min with OKM. It is getting

4
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.839
<v Speaker 1>so close to festival. How are you doing, young lady?

5
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:15.199
<v Speaker 2>It is getting so close. Good morning, Tom, I'm great.

6
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:16.079
<v Speaker 2>How about yourself?

7
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't be finer. We got the kids programs coming up,

8
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>We've got the programs for everyone coming up. And wow,

9
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you and your staff and your

10
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 1>interns pull it all together, but thank you on behalf

11
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.119
<v Speaker 1>of all of us here in the community for what

12
00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>the wonderful things you do for our town.

13
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 2>That's very kind. And you know we work very hard

14
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>all year with a lot of help from God and

15
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of help from our patrons and community and

16
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 2>community partners like yourself. Somehow it manages to go off.

17
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:52.359
<v Speaker 2>But we do kick off this season with our kids,

18
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.399
<v Speaker 2>especially for kids. That begins Friday, May thirtieth, where we

19
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:02.640
<v Speaker 2>will have our Keyboard Orchestra give its third concert and

20
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.519
<v Speaker 2>we're very excited about that. The kids are very excited

21
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>about it. They'll be playing many pieces that are familiar

22
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.040
<v Speaker 2>to everyone, so we invite everyone to come out on

23
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Friday May thirtieth. The concert will start at six pm

24
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>and it will be at first Sebyterian Church. And then

25
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 2>following that we go into our beloved tea time in Arundelle,

26
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>a frozen theme tea this year on Saturday May thirty

27
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 2>first at one pm, and that will be at Saint

28
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Luke's Church. I believe we have we were sold out

29
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.239
<v Speaker 2>as of yesterday. However, we were able to shift around

30
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>at another table and I think we have six spots left,

31
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 2>So if you want to come to that tea, you

32
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 2>need to get your spot. That is the only thing

33
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>during the Kids Festival that is a actual pay event dollars.

34
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. Tickets are ten dollars a person. It's a

35
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>really spectacular tea. There's wonderful harp music by Laura liied Bar,

36
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 2>which of course leaves all the songs from Prison that

37
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.920
<v Speaker 2>everyone can dance and sing to. And then we have

38
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 2>a lovely tea party. We have games and then we

39
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:14.280
<v Speaker 2>have really fun giveaways. So it's a very popular part

40
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.120
<v Speaker 2>of the festival and we all really enjoy it as

41
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>the staff goes. Then following that evening, at seven o'clock,

42
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.719
<v Speaker 2>we will have our dancing and eagles return out to

43
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.479
<v Speaker 2>SunFest at Sooner Park and the kids will get hoops,

44
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 2>they'll learn how to hoop dance, they will learn the

45
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.759
<v Speaker 2>cultural meeting behind the hoop dancing, and then they'll get

46
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 2>to watch the hoop dancers that are just fantastic. We

47
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 2>love having them. On Sunday, June first, at two pm,

48
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:47.159
<v Speaker 2>we have our first art immersion experience. This year's festival

49
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>is dedicated to Edvard Gries and so it's a heavy

50
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 2>focus on Edvard's life, his music, a little bit about

51
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.439
<v Speaker 2>Norway where he came from. And so our first art

52
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.919
<v Speaker 2>and immersion will be the painting of trolls, and so

53
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be a really fun time

54
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 2>for the kids that'll be at Ambler Hall on Sunday,

55
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 2>June first, two pm. Every child that comes to participate

56
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 2>will get to take home this magic a light brush

57
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 2>by Crayola, and they'll get to take their piece of

58
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 2>art home that they make and about trolls, they'll learn

59
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about Edward Greek and they'll listen to

60
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 2>some music by at Bard Greek while they're painting. So

61
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>I think that's going to be fun. Tom. I hope

62
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 2>that I get to paint a troll on that evening

63
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>thanks to the radio station again partnering with us, so

64
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>thank you guys so much, Dori and Kevin, we will

65
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 2>be doing Boogie Bingo and that will be at six pm.

66
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 2>Families will get to come by pick up their Bingo

67
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 2>cards and then every family gets a pizza, get certificate

68
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 2>to order a pizza that night, play Boogy Bingo and

69
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 2>we give out prices and it's always so much fun.

70
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 2>So again Sunday, June first, six pm for Boogie Bingo

71
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>and we might have a little bit of a Frozen

72
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 2>music thrown in that one as well. Then on Monday

73
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.159
<v Speaker 2>we begin our first story and experience and that is

74
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 2>The Trouble with Trolls at the Bartletone Library and that

75
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 2>will be at ten am and so that's going to

76
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 2>be really fun. That book is illustrated by Jan Brett

77
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>and it's just so such a beautiful book. Then that

78
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 2>afternoon we will have another story experience at the Bartislow

79
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Library at one pm and that will be the Frozen

80
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Story Book Collection, so again bringing Elsa and on it

81
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 2>back to the scene and having their tale told, so

82
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 2>that will be fun. Then later that day at three

83
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 2>o'clock again on Monday, June second, at the Bartlestow Library,

84
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 2>we will have a story about the three Vikings. So

85
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 2>you see our theme. Tom we either have trolls or

86
00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Vikings or explore the characters from Frozen. Then on Tuesday

87
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:00.720
<v Speaker 2>we go into yet another fun, fun story about Vole

88
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 2>and the Troll, so a little animal creature who tries

89
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 2>to befriend of trolls. That will also be at the

90
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 2>bartles of the Library at ten am. On that afternoon,

91
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:16.959
<v Speaker 2>we have a music experience that's also story telling as well,

92
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 2>and that is the Story Orchestra in the Hall of

93
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 2>the Mountain King, and that will be again at the

94
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Bartlesviill Library. And the really nice thing about all of

95
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:30.879
<v Speaker 2>the music story experiences is every child will leave with

96
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 2>a book, and so the book the story that they

97
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>get to hear read by the library and at the

98
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 2>bars of the library, they then get to take home

99
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 2>and continue the magic of reliving that story as often

100
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 2>as they would like. And so I think that's something

101
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.120
<v Speaker 2>that's really important to us to be able to share

102
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 2>that with children and to inspire them to dream, to

103
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.079
<v Speaker 2>inspire them to maybe become a musician someday, or at

104
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.839
<v Speaker 2>least take up music as a hobby and it's just

105
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 2>a way for them to explore. So we're always very

106
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>blessed that our patrons and our corporate generals help us

107
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>make that possible for our youth. We think it's very

108
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.839
<v Speaker 2>important and we think it's just a really nice way

109
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 2>to teach them music education and to inspire their creativity.

110
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.240
<v Speaker 2>So then continuing we're only halfway through. On Tuesday, at

111
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 2>six pm we have our Twinkled Big Stars Concerts in

112
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Ambler Hall and that will be a very special night

113
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>where we are going to have Dylan Everts students come

114
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 2>in and they will be performing on piano, they will

115
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.920
<v Speaker 2>also be singing, and so we can't wait to hear

116
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 2>her students share their talents and inspire some new talents

117
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>to take flight. Then also at that same time in

118
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Tulsa at seven pm on Tuesday evening, we have our

119
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>first puppet show, How to Skag a Sea Monster, and

120
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 2>that will be at Hardest Library. Then on June fourth,

121
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.879
<v Speaker 2>now we're on Wednesday, at nine thirty am, we have

122
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Ringo's Singalongs puppet show in Ambler Hall and the puppet

123
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.120
<v Speaker 2>company that's coming is just an amazing They do an

124
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 2>amazing job. They every year we have standing room only

125
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:15.800
<v Speaker 2>and it's just super fun. So we're going to have

126
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>two showings of Ringos Sing Along on Wednesday, one at

127
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>nine point thirty and then another one at eleven, and

128
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I think we're almost filled to capacity on both of those.

129
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Then later that afternoon at two pm, we will have

130
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.720
<v Speaker 2>How to Snag a Sea Monster, which was the same

131
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 2>puppet show that was performed Untilsa the evening before, so

132
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>we're bringing that one to Bartlesville as well. And the

133
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.399
<v Speaker 2>fun thing about those events is every child will take

134
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>home a puppet, and then when they attend, they'll be

135
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>also entered into a drawing to win a bigger type

136
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.680
<v Speaker 2>of puppet, so they'll leave with a little finger puppet

137
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>and then they might win an actual, bigger handheld type puppet.

138
00:07:55.480 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Then we go into our finale on Thursday. We have

139
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:08.399
<v Speaker 2>another art immersion at ten am and once again on Thursday,

140
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 2>June Stiffs, and this time they're going to listen and

141
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 2>learn about Edvard Grieg, so listen to some more music,

142
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 2>but then they're also going to learn about Edvard Monch

143
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:24.199
<v Speaker 2>who played it, ormonk who painted the scream, and so

144
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.560
<v Speaker 2>this time they'll be painting a self portrait of themselves

145
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 2>while learning about these two very famous Norwegian artists, and

146
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>so we're very excited to share that. Then that evening

147
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 2>or I'm sority that afternoon, actually we have an instrument

148
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:42.200
<v Speaker 2>and music immersion where every child that comes will learn

149
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 2>about violin and the ukulele, and then they will leave

150
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 2>with those instruments, and so that's always super fun and exciting.

151
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.519
<v Speaker 2>And then that evening our finale is a jammin with trolls,

152
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 2>and that's going to be a fun musical dance, have

153
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>snow cones and then just kind of do the troll

154
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:07.399
<v Speaker 2>dancing with our DJ out at the Unity Square. So

155
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:10.759
<v Speaker 2>we're very excited about it. It was wildly popular last year.

156
00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>We hope kids will come out. We have lots of

157
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 2>games and bubbles and all kinds of troll themed type

158
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:21.279
<v Speaker 2>scenes we do have as part of our festival. The

159
00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:24.159
<v Speaker 2>main part of the festival on Sunday, June eighth, we

160
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 2>will have our second older kids playing the keyboard orchestra

161
00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 2>at two PM at the First Presbyterian Church, but that's

162
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 2>also during the main part, so we hope that everyone

163
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:37.399
<v Speaker 2>will come out and hear that the kids have been

164
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>preparing for several months now, and it's just they are

165
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:44.039
<v Speaker 2>truly amazing. If you don't know what a keyboard orchestra is,

166
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.679
<v Speaker 2>imagine that you have a full sixty pieced orchestra, but

167
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>instead of having sixty individuals a lot about twenty ten

168
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 2>to twenty kids at each of these concerts that will

169
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 2>actually be playing a keyboard that reproduces the sound of

170
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:05.919
<v Speaker 2>a violin, of a base of whatever instrument will be

171
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:11.039
<v Speaker 2>included in that particular arrangement. So it's really amazing. I

172
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.399
<v Speaker 2>think it takes people kind of back sometimes when they

173
00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.440
<v Speaker 2>come for the first time how much it just sounds

174
00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:21.000
<v Speaker 2>like an orchestra and it's wonderful, and it's just it's

175
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:23.399
<v Speaker 2>really incredible what these kids are able to do. So

176
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>we invite everyone to do that and Tom, if that

177
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>wasn't enough, then we go into our main stage performances

178
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.720
<v Speaker 2>for our forty first Okay and Music Festival, and that

179
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.600
<v Speaker 2>kicks off on Friday, June sixth at our wonderful, beloved

180
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:44.200
<v Speaker 2>partner and usual landscape of Woollolock Gates will open up

181
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:49.720
<v Speaker 2>six We'll have Grady Nichols, our lovely friends and he's

182
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:53.120
<v Speaker 2>performed numerous times at the Okay and Music Festival. But

183
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.639
<v Speaker 2>he's just down the road in Tulsa and he's our

184
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 2>very beloved jazz artist. He's coming to open up for

185
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>us at Wolloocks. We can't wait to have him. And

186
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 2>then at eight thirty, Manhattan Chamber Players will make their

187
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 2>second debut at the Okay and Music Festival and where

188
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.120
<v Speaker 2>it's super excited to have them back. They are an

189
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:18.600
<v Speaker 2>ensemble that they all individually have day jobs performing in

190
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 2>various symphonies and various chamber ensembles, but they come together

191
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:29.360
<v Speaker 2>for these special events and occasions. Many of these guys

192
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.120
<v Speaker 2>went to school together, you know, ten fifteen years ago,

193
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 2>but they decided that they would have this sort of

194
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.919
<v Speaker 2>eclectic group that they form, and then they travel all

195
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:42.000
<v Speaker 2>over the world and all over the United States and

196
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:47.600
<v Speaker 2>come together in various ensembles to perform at festivals like ours.

197
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.559
<v Speaker 2>And so they're very very talented. We're very excited to

198
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 2>have them. They will be performing beautiful, they'll be performing

199
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Greek for us, they'll be performing Mozart for us, and

200
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.399
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be a very very special night.

201
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.399
<v Speaker 2>And so you know, of course you can't go wrong

202
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 2>at Will. The walk will conclude the easying with fireworks.

203
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:09.559
<v Speaker 2>We'll have food trucks out there. We're going to have

204
00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 2>just an amazing time. So I think you're going to

205
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>come out Tom and help MC. So we are super

206
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:19.039
<v Speaker 2>excited to have you come out there and knock on wood.

207
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.080
<v Speaker 2>We have wonderful weather.

208
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to and it's going to be fun.

209
00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be beautiful. On Saturday night

210
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and June seventh will be at Kasha Hall in Tulsa

211
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:34.039
<v Speaker 2>and we will have the Talsa Owners Baroque Orchestra opening

212
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.440
<v Speaker 2>ups for us at six pm. George will open at

213
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>five and then at seven pm Natasha Parimski will be

214
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:46.200
<v Speaker 2>performing a beautiful piano candlelight concert, and she also is

215
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.639
<v Speaker 2>going to be playing some pieces from Edward Greek the

216
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 2>Piergent Suite, including Morning Mood and in the Hall of

217
00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.919
<v Speaker 2>the Mountain King, which is of course two of Greek's

218
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 2>those famous pieces, and so I think that will be

219
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:04.120
<v Speaker 2>very beautiful. She's also going to do some other pieces

220
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.320
<v Speaker 2>from Romeo and Juliet. She's going to be doing trade

221
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.240
<v Speaker 2>movements from Patrushka, and so I think it's going to

222
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:14.320
<v Speaker 2>be a beautiful concert. We can't wait Cashle Hall. I

223
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 2>love to formally refer to it as the Hogwarts of Oklahoma.

224
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:23.120
<v Speaker 2>So it's a beautiful facility. It's really cool looking. We

225
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>love partnering with them and helping support them, and so

226
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.879
<v Speaker 2>you know, please come join us on Saturday, June seventh

227
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:34.720
<v Speaker 2>at Cashle Hall. Then Sunday, June eighth will conclude our

228
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:39.720
<v Speaker 2>main stage concerts with a lovely concert starting off with

229
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Lisa Steele's piano students, who are quite accomplished. One of them,

230
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:47.120
<v Speaker 2>we believe is going to become a concert pianist. And

231
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.120
<v Speaker 2>so they will start off at six pm playing some

232
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.519
<v Speaker 2>selected pieces that they've chosen, and then the doors will

233
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:57.759
<v Speaker 2>open f five seven o'clock is when then our most

234
00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:04.120
<v Speaker 2>amazingly talented come friends of Okay Music. Extra Quartet is returning.

235
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>And for those who have heard Extra Quartet, they know

236
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.919
<v Speaker 2>how amazingly lucky we are to have them. They are

237
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:19.559
<v Speaker 2>truly truly gifted, beautiful talented musicians. They have trained and

238
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.440
<v Speaker 2>learned from Istak Perlman. They have won numerous awards, they

239
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.080
<v Speaker 2>are world renowned and we are so lucky to have

240
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.840
<v Speaker 2>them in our own backyard here in Bartlesville. So again

241
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 2>they will play at seven pm on Sunday, June eighth.

242
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.960
<v Speaker 2>They are just the nicest guys and I think they

243
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.799
<v Speaker 2>have fun coming to Bartlesville. They get to meet everyone

244
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.279
<v Speaker 2>when they go to breakfast and talk to people. I

245
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:46.840
<v Speaker 2>think they went bowling twice last year, which which sort

246
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.240
<v Speaker 2>of cracked all of us up. But they are just truly,

247
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.480
<v Speaker 2>truly talented, and they are going to be performing in

248
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.559
<v Speaker 2>some Mozart, some Barber Mendelssohn, and I think it's just

249
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.000
<v Speaker 2>going to be a beautiful, beautiful evening. I think we

250
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.200
<v Speaker 2>have a sneak a surprise that I asked them. I

251
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.799
<v Speaker 2>think they will also be playing a piece from Greek.

252
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know which piece they were going to

253
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:14.120
<v Speaker 2>surprise us, but I think that that will be there.

254
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.480
<v Speaker 2>They're encore and so if that wasn't enough, we also

255
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 2>tom have showcase, and so on Friday, June sixth, we'll

256
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.080
<v Speaker 2>kick our showcase off at the First Presbyterian Church with

257
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.840
<v Speaker 2>the Bartlesfield Bell Ringers at ten am, followed by the

258
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:34.679

00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:38.360

00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.240
<v Speaker 2>will be performing at one pm that afternoon, and that's

292
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.079
<v Speaker 2>are already at capacity. We are trying to work on

294

299
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.599
<v Speaker 2>we're working on those. But it's been crazy. We had

300
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>our biggest the day we launched. We almost sold out.

301
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.200
<v Speaker 2>I always use the words sold out. But reserved out

302
00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:10.799
<v Speaker 2>a couple of events on that day, so it was insane.

303
00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:15.079
<v Speaker 2>People know parents, I think grandparents' guardians who have come,

304
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 2>they love it. They come back every year and it's

305
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:19.759
<v Speaker 2>just an amazing time for these kids because not only

306
00:18:19.759 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 2>do they get the experience the exposure to musical education,

307
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:26.599
<v Speaker 2>they get a ton of books and musical instruments and

308
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:30.200
<v Speaker 2>art supplies and so it's just something that's you really meaningful.

309
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:32.039
<v Speaker 2>It's something that they can take back home with them,

310
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:34.519
<v Speaker 2>not only the memory, but they actually get to take

311
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.599
<v Speaker 2>a physical item home with them to help continue to

312
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.119
<v Speaker 2>inspire them. And then as far as the main stage

313
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.079
<v Speaker 2>performances go, again, the venues, except for Rula Rock are

314
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 2>are pretty intimate, so we encourage people go hand get

315
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.559
<v Speaker 2>your tickets now, don't wait till the last minute because

316
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:56.640

00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.079
<v Speaker 2>to reduce the ticket prices this year to make them

00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:21.960
<v Speaker 2>very affordable. We have senior discounts, college age student discounts,

341

<v Speaker 2>we have General Mission b P. So we've tried to

342
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:30.480
<v Speaker 2>take into account that sometimes the economy isn't always the

343
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.319
<v Speaker 2>best and although we have lots of hope for it,

344
00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:37.400
<v Speaker 2>but we want to make music accessible. That is our

345
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:39.799
<v Speaker 2>mission and we want to make it accessible to all,

346
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:42.200
<v Speaker 2>So please come out and check us out.
