Cage Match Tonight! 7 p.m. at Christ Church UM


I have been intrigued by tonight's concert offering since I first heard about the idea. As we get closer to the event, even stranger things have happened in my office. First, the presence of a clarinet player asking my help in finding viola jokes; and just a day later, a violist asking for my help with clarinet jokes.

This could get ugly.

Tonight's CLASSICAL CAGE MATCH will feature WVSO musicians Bob Turizziani and Sandra Groce, accompanied by Vicki Cavendish on piano. WVPR's Mona Seghatoleslami will moderate.

I printed some signs on Monday that make me think this is going to be a pretty serious match. ROUND ONE, ROUND TWO, ROUND THREE ...

...and some not-so-serious signs with statistics on the performers. I won't divulge their secrets, but I plan to be there to see who wins!
Tickets ($10) available at the door beginning at 6 p.m.

More sights from the University of Charleston and Symphony Sunday




A Great Sunday for Music! What is your favorite memory of Symphony Sunday?





So what was your favorite part of Symphony Sunday? In the Food category: mine was the Symphony Sundae from Ellen's Ice Cream. We had made 50 or so parrots and listened to four hours of great music. Time to prop feet up and settle in for some ice cream!

How about you?
