Soloist, James Adler

The Lesbian & Gay Big Apple Corps (LGBAC) Symphonic Band's spring concert, under Artistic Director Brian P. Worsdale's baton, on April 24 at the Julia Richman Complex, on the Upper East Side, was entitled "Symphonic Power: a Dynamic Evening of Music," and dynamic it was indeed. The focus was on four pieces, two lengthy ones, bracketed by two overtures, rather than on various shorter pieces, intended to demonstrate the musicians' accomplishments in a diversity of styles. The latter sort of concert works well for the Corps, but this kind worked, too.

The long piece in the first half was Sergey Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra Number 2 in C minor, opus 18, in a band transcription by LGBAC flutist Scott Oaks, with Oaks' partner, composer, pianist and teacher James Adler, as guest soloist.

Big Apple Corps shines at LGBA 2010 Conference

Twelve of our fellow Apples attended the 2010 LGBA Conference in Indianapolis this past weekend, and we think we can speak for all of them when we say it was a blast. Our Artistic Director, Brian Worsdale, made us proud as he led the mass band of over 150 musicians at a historic venue in downtown Indy.
