Alan Futterman - Backstage Shenanigans of Some Famous Orchestral Works

Alan walks you through the backstages of three centuries of concerts to see what really happened before the audience arrived and the curtain rose.  Handel, Brahms, Gershwin, Bernstein, The Beatles - yes, they are all connected! Join us at 7:00 PM on Wednesday Dec 18 on the MEL patio for this fun & informative talk.

Alan is the Music Director of the Bremerton WestSound Symphony and the Academy Chamber Orchestra. He served on the Music Faculty of Central Washington University for 10 years and as Music Director of the Dover Symphony Orchestra, Principal Conductor for the Weierstrass Society Concerts of Contemporary Music (New York, N.Y.), Music Director of the Zaccho Ballet Orchestra (Belgium), and Conductor in Residence for Jeunesse Musicale of Europe.
