| + | <html>The extended Fourth of July weekend has taken The Kats Report train from The Smith Center for the Performing Arts to Tryst at Wynn Las Vegas,[http://xed.it/wiki/sri/index.php?title=Utente:Flattenut37#Wearable_robots_getting_lighter.2C_more_portable Wearable robots getting lighter, more portable], and, of course, America. | ||
| + | The band America, I mean. At The Club at Cannery. | ||
| + | It’s an action-packed weekend. As we brake, we rake: | ||
| + | ? The Las Vegas Philharmonic’s concertmaster had to scramble just to make the stage in time for Thursday’s “Fourth With the Phil” show at Reynolds Hall. | ||
| + | De Ann Letourneau was at The Smith Center in plenty of time before the 7:30 p.m. show. That was not the problem. Before she took her position as the Phil’s first-chair violinist, she had a commitment at Symphony Park, during which she was to perform with Frankie Moreno as part of the outdoor party that started at 4 p.m. | ||
| + | That concert lineup also featured Ellie Smith (Miss Teen Nevada 2012, who later sang the national anthem to open the Phil show) and country artist Sam Riddle. Moreno followed Riddle, and by the time he hit the stage with his scaled-down band (with Letourneau wielding the fiddle), it was 7:15 p.m. | ||
| + | By then, many ticket-holders who had been enjoying the music on the lawn were headed for the indoor pops show that, naturally, was to include the Phil’s first-chair violinist. | ||
| + | The audience was seated at 7:30. Letourneau’s chair was the last to be filled, which is common at symphony shows as the concertmaster is the last orchestra member to take her position. What the audience didn’t realize is at that moment,[http://www.jerseys-hearts.com/Nike-Texans-Blank-Women-Zebra-Jerseys-23635/ Nike Texans Blank Women Zebra Jerseys], Letourneau was running in high heels (too hot to take them off, she explained) across The Smith Center complex from the grassy Symphony Park stage to the Reynolds Hall dressing room. A security guard rushed up to her while talking into a headpiece, saying, “I’ve got her!” and led her into the venue’s side entrance. | ||
| + | After a quick change into a white top and black slacks,[http://www.abiwillich.de/index.php/Benutzer:Flattenut41#Winfield.2C_Ferrone.2C_Ireland_among_Canadian_Football_HOF_class Winfield, Ferrone, Ireland among Canadian Football HOF class], and carrying a water bottle under her arm, Letourneau strode to the stage maybe 10 minutes late. She turned her back to the crowd to tune the orchestra and let out a regenerative exhale, and it seemed the back of her hair was a little wet with sweat. Otherwise, she played it off expertly, which is what she does. But the sprint,[http://pcf8.com/bbs/home.php?mod=space&uid=908064&do=blog&id=46122 UCLA wins first national championship in baseball], that was a new number. | ||
| + | ? The conductor for the “Fourth With the Phil” performance at Reynolds Hall is a person to watch, and not because he is so much fun to watch. Matt Catingub led the symphony’s pops presentation, a show steeped in patriotic songs fitting for the holiday and even a medley of TV sitcom theme songs (“All in the Family” linked to “The Love Boat” followed by “The Brady Bunch,” like that). | ||
| + | Catingub is a vastly talented, uber-versatile music director who can sing (he shared the stage with Clint Holmes and Kristen Hertzenberg on Thursday and fearlessly sang with both great vocalists), write charts and play the sax and other horns in the woodwinds family. Catingub is a pops specialist as the music director for the newly formed Glendale (Calif.) Pops Orchestra and Hawaii Symphony Orchestra Pops. | ||
| + | He toured with Rosemary Clooney and has arranged and composed for an array of artists, including Boz Scaggs, Kenny Loggins, Diana Krall, James Ingram, Toni Tennille, The Righteous Brothers and Toto. As the son of Frank Sinatra protégé Mavis Rivers and a Vegas resident, Catingub is an ideal figure to lead the Phil’s pops shows. He’s back in April for a Vegas-styled, standards-driven pops show. | ||
| + | L.V. Phil officials, who plan to fill its open music-director position by next May, also are figuring out how to grow the symphony’s five-concert pops series to give Catingub more chances to lead the orchestra. He’s a magnanimous conductor. His enthusiastic sing-along to such songs as the theme from “Happy Days” tickled the holiday crowd. More Matt, we say. He’s fabuloso.</html> | ||
