Wharton activities
Philip Wharton is back in Iowa to help us debunk stereotypes about composers. He writes refreshingly appealing music. He performs concertos. He drinks lots of Diet Coke while spending too much time in front of the computer. Need to know more?
Here’s a preview of Philip’s residency by Melody Parker of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier.
In addition to visits to Price Lab and Hansen Elementary schools, Philip and I will be involved in a variety of other activities around town this week:
Today through Sunday, January 13 – The artwork inspiring Philip new composition ‘Passing Season’ will be on display at Cup of Joe on Main Street in downtown Cedar Falls.
Thursday, January 10, 7:30 pm – Open rehearsal of ‘Passing Season’ at the Oster Regent Theatre, with the opportunity to mingle with Philip and me at break. We have invited the New Horizon’s band, members of a local chamber music enthusiasts’ group and the WCFSO board.
Friday, January 11, 7 & 8 am – Catch us on air with Jacqueline Hallbloom on Iowa Public Radio KUNI.
Friday, January 11, 6 pm – Philip Wharton will join me at Cup of Joe for an informal discussion about ‘Passing Season’ and the concert on Saturday.
Saturday, January 12, 5:30 pm – Dinner and a concert introduction at Montage with Philip and me, followed by the concert at 7:30 pm at the Oster Regent Theatre.
I’m hoping to do an interview with Philip for this site later in the week. In the meantime, concert details here.
