I give you at least a gazillion reasons as to why you CAN. NOT. miss Saturday night’s Sarasota Orchestra Music Festival concert at the Sarasota Opera House — they’re all in my Sarasota Herald Tribune Sense and the City column (page 37E if you’re reading the print paper — or click on the hyperlink below).
Beg, borrow, or buy a ticket!
Stuart Malina will be the guest conductor.
If you only go to one classical music concert in your lifetime … let this be the one!

His love of classical music and musicians shines through him. He won the Tony Award for Orchestration for the Billy Joel musical “Movin’ Out,” which is a clue to how unique he is a symphonic conductor.

At least we got the picture in. Thanks for the extra info — I didn’t know that and am glad to hear he’s so good. Maybe I’ll see you there!
