00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're making good with what we've got. The

7
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>storms kind of did a little number on some of

8
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.239
<v Speaker 1>our phones, but you were on the air right now,

9
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>and I was just telling everybody that we've got a

10
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 1>whole nice lineup and of course of main shows, but

11
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the showcase programs are wonderful too.

16
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 3>can't believe.

17
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>It's already forty first, but it is.

18
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.479

24
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:07.879
<v Speaker 3>Grady Nichols.

00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.719
<v Speaker 2>For those who may have just moved here, who are not.

<v Speaker 3>shade and sit and listen to some wonderful music. And

34
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.920
<v Speaker 3>then at eight o'clock, our Manhattan Chamber Players are returning

35
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:38.040
<v Speaker 3>to us from the East Coast and they will be.

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Playing wonderful, wonderful classical.

38
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.079
<v Speaker 2>Will also be playing Edvard Greek.

39
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 3>We are dedicating our festival to Edvard Greek, a very

40
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 3>famous Norwegian composer, and we're very excited. So at each

41
00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:59.599
<v Speaker 3>of the concerts, if you attend all of them, you'll

42
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 3>get to here one maybe two pieces from Edward Greek,

43
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 3>and I think it's going to be very beautiful. Tom.

44
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 3>So we're very excited about the under the stars at

45
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 3>Willa Rock. And of course we always have the food trucks.

46
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.520
<v Speaker 3>We always have our wine truck, which we added last

47
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 3>year and we're bringing back.

48
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>It was very popular.

49
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 3>We have children's events, sort of a children's tent where

50
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.680
<v Speaker 3>families can come over and do some crafts and games

51
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 3>while they're listening to beautiful music. And then of course

52
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.439
<v Speaker 3>the finale always is a beautiful fireworks display, and so

53
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.080
<v Speaker 3>we'll have that again for everyone to enjoy.

54
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:36.919
<v Speaker 2>So are you going to come out, Tom and enjoy it?

55
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 2>I enjoy it with us? Awesome? We can't wait.

56
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 3>And so now we just need everyone to pray and

57
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:47.719
<v Speaker 3>keep their fingers crossed for really nice weather. Last year

58
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.680
<v Speaker 3>it was almost perfect. It wasn't too hot, it wasn't windy,

59
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.599
<v Speaker 3>it was just very very nice. So we're going to

60
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.280
<v Speaker 3>keep our fingers crossed that will have beautiful weather again.

61
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.400
<v Speaker 3>So after Friday night, after we kick off, we will

62
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 3>then have our Candle Light Concert in Tulsa at Casha Hall,

63
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 3>and we're very excited to have our Baroque Orchestra back.

64
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 3>They will be opening the concert for us, and then

65
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 3>we are going to have world renowned classical pianist Natasha

66
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 3>Peremski who will be performing again wonderful selections classical selections,

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 3>and then she will also be doing Edvard Greek for us,

68
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 3>and so we're very excited I call Casha Hall sort

69
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 3>of the Hogwarts of northeast Oklahoma.

70
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 2>It's such a cool it's such a cool venue. It's

71
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:35.400
<v Speaker 2>a beautiful school.

72
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 3>It's just a really really nice intimate It holds almost

73
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:44.199
<v Speaker 3>around a thousand people, but it's just it's very, very nice.

74
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 3>And so we're always so blessed and excited to work

75
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 3>with Kasha to be able to have our concerts there.

76
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Very easy parking, very easy accessibility, and just a lovely evening.

77
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 3>And so we are excited about that concert. And then

78
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.639
<v Speaker 3>we will wrap up the festival with a grand finale

79
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 3>at the Johnstone Sair the Refinery, and we did this

80
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 3>last year, and of course it's just such a beautiful

81
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 3>venue with all the chandeliers and the lighting and just

82
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:14.599
<v Speaker 3>overlooking downtown.

83
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 2>It's a beautiful setting.

84
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.160
<v Speaker 3>And for that concert, we will have Esher Court returning

85
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 3>to it, a quartet court. We will have extra quartet

86
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.800
<v Speaker 3>returning to us. And you know, I try to tell

87
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 3>folks that, you know, I'm old. I've listened to a

88
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:35.240
<v Speaker 3>lot of classical music in my day, and these guys

89
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 3>are just absolutely pure. They are fantastic, They are amazing,

90
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.240
<v Speaker 3>They're very personable, but I think they are some of

91
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:47.319
<v Speaker 3>the most talented musicians that I've ever had the privilege

92
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 3>to listen to. And you know, they have quite an

93
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:58.079
<v Speaker 3>affirmations to themselves with awards and different competitions, but then

94
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 3>just also through their own contempt phrase. They studied with

95
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 3>is talk Peerlman and have just to me they are

96
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 3>the is talk Peerlman of a quartet. They are just

97
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 3>truly remarkable musicians and so we are so so glad

98
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.560
<v Speaker 3>to have them back. This is our third year in

99
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 3>a row to have them, and I want to keep

100
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 3>asking them to come back so long as.

101
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:19.319
<v Speaker 2>We can afford them.

102
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 3>I'm afraid one day we will not be able to.

103
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 3>They are just truly that talented. And so they will

104
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 3>also be performing selections that they have chosen, and then

105
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.560
<v Speaker 3>we will also have another Edvard Greek piece, and so

106
00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 3>we're excited about that. Opening the concert for them is

107
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 3>sort of a special treat.

108
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.639
<v Speaker 2>We're doing something kind of unique this season.

109
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 3>We are having three of Lisa Steele's piano students who

110
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 3>will be performing at six. We have Nick dou Eric

111
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 3>lu and Banie and these young talented pianists are remarkable.

112
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 3>One of the three I have been told will probably

113
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 3>be Sunday, a actual classic concert pianist, and he plays

114
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 3>as though he is an.

115
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 2>Adult, professional classic concert pianist.

116
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:12.279
<v Speaker 3>But all three of them are just amazing, and I

117
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 3>really hope and encourage folks to come out in here

118
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.160
<v Speaker 3>and just cheer on these kids and encourage them to

119
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 3>continue pursuing whatever they want to do, whether it's a

120
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.720
<v Speaker 3>career or just for their own pleasure, but continue pursuing

121
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 3>their piano playing because they really are very.

122
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Very talented.

123
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.199
<v Speaker 3>So that will be at six, sure goes on at seven,

124
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 3>and then that will conclude.

125
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Our festival, but it is a lot.

126
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.879
<v Speaker 3>And then of course during the daytime we have all

127
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.920
<v Speaker 3>of the showcase events. So on Friday we have the

128
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Bartlesville Ringers, which are a wonderful ensemble of bell ringers

129
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.639
<v Speaker 3>that will be at First Presbyterian Church at ten. We

130
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:55.800
<v Speaker 3>then have Trinity Recorder Consort at eleven a m which

131
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.079
<v Speaker 3>is an ensemble of players who will play the recorder

132
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 3>as just as it's and then at one o'clock we

133
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.560
<v Speaker 3>will have our very own Wade Daniels who will be

134
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 3>performing a piano recital which will.

135
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Be very lovely.

136
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 3>He has all kinds of classical pieces. But then I

137
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 3>think he also has Bershlin in his ensemble, and so

138
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 3>I know Wade is an amazing pianist himself and he

139
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 3>will do a fantastic job, so people love to hear

140
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.199
<v Speaker 3>him play. So again, those are all at First Presbyterian Church.

141
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.720
<v Speaker 3>On Saturday, we have a portion. We have four players

142
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.279
<v Speaker 3>from the Manhattan Chamber Players that will be performing for

143
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:38.839
<v Speaker 3>us at our own Ambler Hall at eleven am on Saturday,

144
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.319
<v Speaker 3>June seventh, and so that was very well attended last

145
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 3>year and we're very excited to have them back. A

146
00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 3>very special treat for some of them to stick around

147
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 3>and play for us. And then on Sunday at two pm,

148
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.439
<v Speaker 3>we have the OKM Youth Keyboard Orchestra and that's our

149
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 3>very own youth keyboard Orchestra again to give it a

150
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.000
<v Speaker 3>shout out. Lisa Steele is in charge of that and

151
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 3>she is doing an amazing job with these students. We

152
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:11.040
<v Speaker 3>have about twenty kids plus that are enrolled into this

153
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 3>keyboard orchestra and they play on keyboards but play the

154
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 3>sounds of a full orchestra. And I've been helping her

155
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 3>get the music for that, and I think it's going

156
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 3>to be quite spectacular again we have some Edvard Grieg,

157
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 3>we have a Harry Potter, and we have some other

158
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 3>classical pieces that I think folks will really enjoy. And

159
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 3>I have to give a shout out Tom to our

160
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.320
<v Speaker 3>keyboard orchestra. It is a really unique ensemble and as

161
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:41.559
<v Speaker 3>far as we know, we are the only full time

162
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 3>youth keyboard orchestra in America, and so that is really

163
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.000
<v Speaker 3>something to be proud of and it just continues to grow.

164
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 3>So we really hope everyone will come out and listen

165
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:54.120
<v Speaker 3>to that. We had a Christmas concert, over three hundred

166
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:54.919
<v Speaker 3>people attended.

167
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.960
<v Speaker 2>It was just amazing. The kids did a wonderful, wonderful job.

234
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:35.360

235
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 3>for the festival to share. We tried because we know

236
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 3>the economy has been hard, It's been difficult and times

237
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 3>have been uncertain, but hopefully times are getting better. But

238
00:12:44.440 --> 00:12:47.200
<v Speaker 3>this year we tried to actually cut our ticket pricing

239
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.200
<v Speaker 3>just to help everyone, because part of our mission is

240
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:53.480
<v Speaker 3>making music accessible to all and we felt like maybe

241
00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.840
<v Speaker 3>that was a gift that we could give back, and

242
00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:58.639
<v Speaker 3>so we really hope that that will help everyone. We

243
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:02.200
<v Speaker 3>have student ticket price, we have senior ticket prices, we

244
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.080
<v Speaker 3>have VIP tickets, and then we have general admission. So

245
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 3>please go on the website and check all of that out.

246
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Make sure if you want to come to, especially for kids,

247
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.120
<v Speaker 3>that you do go ahead and reserve your spot because

248
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.840
<v Speaker 3>the venues are smaller, and even though we have multiple

249
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.200
<v Speaker 3>showcase events for the kids, you still need to go

250
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:24.279
