VSO Instrument Fair The Kids’ Koncerts series continues with the popular VSO Instrument Fair, which allows music lovers of all ages (but especially kids!) to touch and play real orchestra instruments in the Orpheum lobby one hour before concert start time. And don’t miss the special Composition Table, where kids can “write” their own music—and have it played by a member of the VSO! All instruments are generously provided by Tom Lee Music.

SCOTT GOOD Bramwell Tovey conductor For a biography of Maestro Tovey please refer to page 9. Scott Good Dwight Schenk An Ocena Called Owen (World Premiere) Several years ago, songwriter Dwight Schenk and composer Scott Good got together to make some music. A few “jams” and a typo led to their first collaboration – a tribute concert to the novels of Kurt Vonnegut. An Ocean Called Owen is their second collaboration. Owen lives deep down in the dirt, where the roots don’t reach and the sun don’t shine. This work, made for enjoyment for all ages, tells the tale of Owen searching for that something that keeps calling, taking him out of the ground, into the wide world. Through several encounters, Owen learns the valuable lesson that “You can’t move on without a push from the lessons of the past”. Scored for full symphony orchestra, it features narrator Scott Good (with some help from his trombone), and Bramwell Tovey playing the 88’s. ■ Programme Notes © 2010 Scott Good allegro 27
