When my wife and I realized that we were going to have to move from our wonderful home in Arizona so that we could be closer to our family and help with some of the special needs that they had. We were told by some of our friends in Arizona that North Carolina is really nice. So we found a place in a little town called Cary. And it has proved to be a wonderful place to live and we're very grateful that we can be here. And just in the recent days our town has been selected as one of the best places to live in the country and one of the reasons is the wonderful Town Park. And when our grandson comes to visit from New York City one of the first things he wants to do is .. "When are we going to the park grandpa?" So today I've asked Joy Ennis, the leader and manager of the park to come in and tell us the story, and I think it will be an inspiration to all of us. Maybe it will inspire you to renew your efforts to have a wonderful park in your community

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring lead trumpeter Dave Trigg, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. Dave Trigg is a distinguished trumpeter whose career spans over four decades, marked by versatility and collaborations with some of the most iconic names in music. Starting his professional journey in 1979, Dave made a significant mark as the lead trumpeter with the Ringling Bros Circus World House Band in Florida. This early experience set the stage for a series of notable engagements, including the national tour with "Holiday on Ice" and recording with the legendary Maynard Ferguson Band in 1981, contributing to the "Hollywood" release. In the early 1980s, Dave's talent took him to the heart of entertainment at Walt Disney World in Florida, where he performed with various bands at Epcot Center and MGM Studios until 1990. His broad range of musical abilities allowed him to share the stage with luminaries such as Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, Quincy Jones, Harry Connick Jr., Tina Turner, and many others. Dave's Broadway credentials are equally impressive, featuring performances in productions like "Wonderful Town," "Hot Feet," "Fame Becomes Me," "Promises, Promises," "Pippin," "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Legally Blonde," "Gigi," and "Hello Dolly." The 1990s ushered in a new chapter for Dave as he joined Natalie Cole's band, embarking on global tours and performing with major orchestras, including the BBC Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. His work with Cole led to four Grammy-winning albums and numerous TV appearances on shows such as The Tonight Show and the Oprah Winfrey Show. Dave also showcased his talent on TV specials like the three Sopranos live concert and was a part of Sheila E's house band for the 1998 ALMA Awards. Dave's move to Los Angeles expanded his repertoire to include recording sessions for artists like Dr. John, Phil Collins, and Mary J. Blige, as well as soundtracks for films like "Miracle on 34th St." and "Shaft." His involvement with the Big Bands of Bill Holman, Bob Florence, and others underscored his versatility and excellence in jazz and big band music. Relocating to New York in 1999, Dave continued to dazzle at jazz festivals worldwide, including Montreux and Newport, and paid tribute to Maynard Ferguson at the New York Brass Conference. His recent performances include a gala with the National Symphony Orchestra and a featured appearance at the Salt Lake City Jazz Festival, maintaining his status as a sought-after musician for both live performances and studio recordings.

On the morning of November 14th, 1943, Leonard Bernstein, the talented 25-year-old assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic, got a phone call saying he would at last be leading the respected orchestral group — in six hours, that afternoon, with no time to rehearse.The sudden thrust into the spotlight transformed Bernstein into a national celebrity. For almost five decades, the wunderkind would be at the forefront of American music, as a conductor, composer, virtuoso performer, writer, television personality and teacher.He would also help create the most important Broadway musicals of the mid-20th century — On The Town, Wonderful Town and West Side Story. These shows would not only spotlight the talents of its young creator. They would also spotlight the romance and rhythm of New York City.Bernstein is one of New York's most influential cultural figures. He spent most of his life in the city, and that's the focus of today's story – Leonard Bernstein's New York.The new film Maestro, starring Bradley Cooper and Carey Mulligan, focuses on Bernstein's personal story and intimate life. That specific angle is not our objective today – for the most part. We're looking at the relationship between the creator and his urban inspiration.

pWotD Episode 2423: Leonard Bernstein Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 174,884 views on Wednesday, 20 December 2023 our article of the day is Leonard Bernstein.Leonard Bernstein ( BURN-styne; August 25, 1918 – October 14, 1990) was an American conductor, composer, pianist, music educator, author, and humanitarian. Considered to be one of the most important conductors of his time, he was the first American-born conductor to receive international acclaim. Bernstein was "one of the most prodigiously talented and successful musicians in American history" according to music critic Donal Henahan. Bernstein received numerous honors and accolades including seven Emmy Awards, two Tony Awards, and 16 Grammy Awards (including the Lifetime Achievement Award) as well as an Academy Award nomination. He received the Kennedy Center Honor in 1981. As a composer, Bernstein wrote in many genres, including symphonic and orchestral music, ballet, film and theatre music, choral works, opera, chamber music, and pieces for the piano. His best-known work is the Broadway musical West Side Story, which continues to be regularly performed worldwide, and has been adapted into two (1961 and 2021) feature films. Bernstein's works include three symphonies, Serenade after Plato's "Symposium" (1954), and Chichester Psalms (1965), the original score for the Elia Kazan drama film On the Waterfront (1954), and theater works including On the Town (1944), Wonderful Town (1953), Candide (1956), and his Mass (1971).Bernstein was the first American-born conductor to lead a major American symphony orchestra. He was music director of the New York Philharmonic and conducted the world's major orchestras, generating a significant legacy of audio and video recordings. Bernstein was also a critical figure in the modern revival of the music of Gustav Mahler, in whose music he was most passionately interested. A skilled pianist, Bernstein often conducted piano concertos from the keyboard. He was the first conductor to share and explore classical music on television with a mass audience through dozens of national and international broadcasts, including Young People's Concerts with the New York Philharmonic. A lifelong humanitarian, Bernstein worked in support of civil rights, protested against the Vietnam War, advocated nuclear disarmament, raised money for HIV/AIDS research and awareness, and engaged in multiple international initiatives for human rights and world peace. He conducted Mahler's Resurrection Symphony to mark the death of president John F. Kennedy, and in Israel at a world famous concert, Hatikvah on Mt. Scopus, after the Six-Day War. The sequence of events was preserved for posterity in a documentary entitled Journey to Jerusalem. At the end of his life, Bernstein conducted a historic performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in Berlin to celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:04 UTC on Thursday, 21 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Leonard Bernstein on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kendra Standard.

San Miguelito (Antigonon leptopus) is quite the Mexican native plant. I read that it's found in habitat not only in Sonora and Chihuahua and southward, but also Baja California. Unfortunately, where this tough Mexican vine has been introduced as an ornamental in more mesic areas like the southeastern US, it has become an invasive varmint. Sad, but true, so don't go sending seed back to friends in Florida. They already have some. And finally; this episode of Growing Native is a tribute to Tucson and the surrounding wild landscape. It's where I first cut my teeth on native plants and animals and I've been on a marvelous journey ever since. The photo of the flowering San Miguelito is not mine, but stolen from Spadefoot Nursery's website, so a thank you to them.

Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) - американский композитор, пианист и дирижёр родился в еврейской семье, приехавшей из Ровно, Украина. Дирижировал многими ведущими оркестрами мира, главный дирижёр Нью-Йоркской филармонии (1958-1969). Впервые исполнил многие произведения американских композиторов. Автор балетов, симфоний, мюзиклов и любитель джаза. Пианист, композитор и педагог Pete Malinverni четыре десятилетия на джазовой сцене Нью-Йорка пересекался с большим количеством музыкантов, но встреча, которая произошла около 30 лет назад зародила идею воплощенную в новом альбоме On the Town, Pete Malinverni Plays Leonard Bernstein. В то время он работал в престижном ресторане и однажды вечером там проходила вечеринка в честь открытия постановки новой оперы. Когда он исполнял на фортепиано арии, вошел Бернстайн, и молодой пианист тут же заиграл композицию Lucky To Be Me композитора. Бернштейн признал дань уважения и расхваливал достоинства пианиста, проведя значительную часть вечера с ним. Recorded at Van Gelder Studios, April 11, 2021 Released January 14, 2022 Planet Arts Records Pete Malinverni - piano Ugonna Okegwo - bass Jeff Hamilton - drums По мотивам композиций из мюзиклов: Увольнение в город (On the Town, 1943) Чудесный город (Wonderful Town, 1953) Вестсайдская история (West Side Story, 1957) #jazz #bebop --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/konstantins/message

Tras la playlist en la que dimos un repaso a los musicales, ópera y operetas del gran Leonard Bernstein, este podcast vamos a dedicarlo a sus trabajos más sinfónicos. Sus piezas que se suelen interpretar en las salas de conciertos. El joven Bernstein pronto se ganó una merecida fama como director de la New York Philharmonic Orchestra. En 1944 ya había dirigido su primera composición, la sinfonía “Jeremy”. También había escrito la música para el ballet “Fancy free” de su amigo el coreógrafo Jerome Robbins, que terminaría convirtiéndose en el musical “ON THE TOWN” con un libreto y letras de sus amigos y compañeros de piso Adolph Green y Betty Comden, con los que escribiría años después el musical “WONDERFUL TOWN”. Su versatilidad y fama como compositor, pianista y director de orquesta se vio acrecentada con su capacidad pedagógica en los 53 programas de televisión, en los que acercó la música clásica a los jóvenes. Ha compuesto sinfonías, una misa , música coral y de cámara. Ha escrito para el teatro y el cine. 00h 00'00" Presentación 00h 03'06" Cabecera 00h 03'43" FANCY FREE 00h 03'43" Enter three sailors 00h 06'36" Scene at the bar 00h 08'14" Enter two girls 00h 10'20" Pas de deux 00h 13'43" Competition scene 00h 16'47" Variation I Galop 00h 18'07" Variation II Waltz 00h 20'31" Variation III Danzon 00h 25'07" Finale 00h 27'42" ON THE TOWN - Three dances 00h 27'42" The great lover 00h 29'22" Lonely town: Pas de deux 00h 32'47" Times Square 1944 00h 37'23" ON THE WATERFRONT 00h 37'23" Suite 00h 59'00" WONDERFUL TOWN 00h 59'00" Overture 01h 03'35" Ballet at the Village Vortex 01h 06'22" DIVERTIMENTO FOR ORCHESTRA 01h 06'22" Sennets & Tuckets - Allegro non troppo, ma con brio 01h 07'35" Waltz - Allegro, con grazia 01h 09'43" Mazurka - Mesto 01h 11'41" Samba - Allegro giusto 01h 12'36" Turkey Trot - Allegretto, ben misurato 01h 14'27" Sphinxes - Adagio lugubre 01h 15'00" Blues - Slow blues tempo 01h 16'54" In memoriam - March "The BSO Forever" 01h 20'24" FACSIMILE - Choreographic essay for orchestra 01h 20'24" Molto Adagio 01h 30'05" Allegratto 01h 39'02" SERENADE AFTER PLATO'S SYMPOSIUM 01h 39'02" Phaedrus - Pausanias 01h 45'41" Aristophanes 01h 50'00" Eryximachus 01h 51'26" Agathon 01h 58'29" Socrates .

And the hills are alive with the sound of a brand new QueerAnon.  We've got the Wicked talented Randy Harrison!! We kick things off with this week's Bottom Five.

The truth is here (pop), the truth is queer (six), and she wants to know how many bullets are left in this gun, Chino!!!!
