Kicking off the Chamber Series, Bach’s Sinfonia Although, by definition, a “divertimento” is written purely for the enjoyment of the player as well as Number 2 in B-flat Major (1773) is a tidy little 12-minute piece in three movements with lots of contrasting the listener, Bartók takes a little more brain power emotions.

September 20, ’12- ------------------------------------------------------------- www.whatzup.com- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17 A Savory Dish for Chilly Nights Fall has always been my favorite season. As temperatures cool and the leaves change colors, we trade Dining In in our shorts and flip flops for sweaters and boots. The season ushers in hot chocolate, pumpkin spiced lattes, pot roasts, and pots of chili. Many root vegetables AMBER RECKER come into season in the autumn months, which means it’s also time for warm stews, and nothing makes the house smell more like fall than my husband’s Hearty Smoked Pork Neck and Hominy stew. Savory, warm, and smoky, this is the perfect dish to warm you on chilly autumn nights. Hearty Smoked Pork Neck and Hominy Stew • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1 large onion, chopped • 2 carrots, sliced • 2-3 celery stalks, diced • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin • 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled • 1 bay leaf • 1 teaspoon dried oregano • 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper • 2 pound smoked pork neck • 2 14 1/2-ounce cans chicken broth • 1 14 1/2-ounce can sliced stewed tomatoes • 3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped • 2 15-ounce cans golden hominy, drained Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, cumin, thyme, bay leaf, oregano, and dried red pepper, and sauté for five minutes. Add smoked pork neck, broth, tomatoes and garlic. Simmer until pork is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer pork to work surface. Remove meat and cut into bite-size pieces. Discard fat and bones. Return meat to pot. Add hominy and simmer until hominy is just tender, about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. amber.recker@gmail.com CLASSICAL GRASP - From Page 16 The European tour was tumultuous for Mozart. He fell in love, his mom died and he couldn’t find a job to save his life. You think the job market is hard now MOZART COULDN’T FIND A JOB WRIT- ING MUSIC!!! The music he heard in Mannheim and Paris during that journey stirred so many emotional memories for the guy that he was inspired to write this really beautiful piece (hence the “Music from Memories” title of our show). It’s said that Mozart himself may have played the viola part himself when it premiered (if you saw Amadeus, you’ll know he was a bit of a show-off). The Phil’s version features Phil principals Derek Reeves on viola and David Ling on violin, both of whom are amazing. When the two solo instruments kick in during the first movement, you can actually hear the violin and viola chasing each other around, playing the same melody lines in their own distinctive voices (the viola’s is deeper than the violin’s). The second movement is slower and in a contrasting minor key (“minor” being the musical word for “sad”), and it climaxes kind of operatically. The last movement is basically a happy little dialogue between the violin and viola. Although it’s not his most famous work, many people consider this to be among their favorite Mozart compositions, and it was one of the first classical pieces I ever owned on cassette tape (I’m just that old). You have two opportunities to hear the Chamber concerts, September 28. The Coffee Concert begins at 11 a.m. Get there at 10 a.m. to enjoy coffee and pastries from Firefly. If you’re a retiree, a homeschooled family, or just have the morning off, this may be the show for you. If you’re not available mid-day on a Friday, then come to the 7 p.m. After Hours show. Starting at 5:30 we’ll be serving food and drinks from Calhoun Street Soup Salads and Spirits. And if you’re of the Twittersphere, charge up that smart phone because this show will debut The Phil’s Tweet Seats. (If you’re my age, think of this as the modern-day pop-up video). Sameer Patel will be on hand backstage, tweeting interesting tidbits about the pieces and composers (far more interesting – and factually accurate – than anything you’ve read in this column) and you will have the opportunity to share your thoughts and ask questions. As we say here at The Phil, “You’ve got to hear it live.” But if for some reason you can’t, you can follow along with us via Twitter at @fwphil. jen@greenroomonline.org Dine-In • Sundays Only 12:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Valid October 1-31, 2012 SUNDAY IN THE PARK - From Page 7 – and quite possibly even sing along. Sunday in the Park with Jazz attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, coolers and the like to Headwaters Park West for the show. Plenty of delicious grub will be on hand from food vendors such as Bravas Foods, Old Crown Coffee Roasters and Smoothie King. And in the event of soggy weather, the show will go on. The musicians will play under the pavilion, which features ample covered seating if needed. NIPR on-air personalities and Sunday in the Park with Jazz performers will be schmoozing with the crowd during the show and in between sets, so be sure to stick around to give them some love. Maxwell says he is particularly excited to reconnect with old friends he hasn’t seen in years in addition to turning a new audience on to jazz. “Jazz is all about improvisation, and by definition, with improvisation you never know exactly what to expect or where the music will take you,” he says. “That gives the music a very strong potential energy that, when allowed to flow freely, is extremely exciting and energetic to experience. It will be a thrilling event for seasoned jazz listeners and new fans alike!”
