sold out yes great course i will tell you there's lots of tickets for some shows anyway we started to talk about yes they are for the rock n roll hall of fame they've had well deserved you know i mean it's great roundabout owner of a lonely heart that's the one i home all the time that's the one i can't wait to get seats to sit in and watch that when i'm looking the other night and i was roaring listening to him he is going to be terrific on your state well i mean you know the funny thing is with all this drama going on with trump and hillary i can only imagine how sterile his study of course runway will have another take on it very much so no question about it so you know it's so close i love the month of october because you know well the next i was laughing the somebody there from falls

house the other night so i know now that your wife is a great cook so yes you know that part pic creedence clearwater is nov twenty right and i can't wait to see them so then we go back to another holiday show and this is a perennial plot what with what would the van was a holiday season be without dave cause coming back again i know and he has been for probably the last five years we're seeing the tour here right so soon but anyway dave cause it is on nov twenty seventh and this year he has two people that i've seen before with him one is candy dufner and she plays this little she plays a saxophone and the little one and she's gorgeous very hot lots of ok great h you'll see there is somebody for me for your fine probably for you and then john the butler who is from south africa and his version of the little drummer boy is just like all inspiring and then this year for the first time i've never seen him perform bill bradley is coming so i got to meet him immediately so it was kind of i took my mother to see him years ago when she i bought her c d s and every time a visit that's all she plays i want to scream at some point but it's wonderful to hear something out there something to learn that i know all these years let's tell people how to buy tickets you can call on the phone line five three three three six eight right you can come to the box office these this way we're friendly people have taken the windows to talk to them one on one and also you can go online  band ways old and they're great friends of mine and we're going to have them coming up i didn't think i saw rick springfield walk by the waves he waved but let's look a little kenny g very excited about kenny g not quite as excited anthony is wanted everywhere but recently and then he went with his parents to find a new place to live but housing discrimination is illegal so anthony's parents filed a complaint and now they have a wonderful place to and welcome back to at the van ways well as promised i have some wonderful friends here from sarasota orchestra gordon greenfield i just heard that you are now vice president of marketing yes i am thank you and dan jordan who is the orchestra is concert i get the applause when i get to walk on stage at the beginning that it's really great i must tell you when i was little i think i was six i was playing the violin in school orchestra and they were getting ready to go and then the conductor stopped and here i had my bow in the wrong hand remember all these years later perhaps if i had had you there i would have been in better shape and that's one of those like performance anxiety dreams and it isn't and oh my god i was like five or six i don't know i've lived through it but it was scarred me obviously but how many how many violin players do you have in the orchestra with our master works or is it the it varies on the piece of the repertoire the era of music that we play that's a lot of a lot of violence and for typical masterworks concerts we'll use twenty six wow that's a lot of players and gordon i mentioned at the last segment that sarasota orchestra is the is the major client here as the rental client at the van ways will and a good friend were doing some shows together this year have in the past but can you tell everybody give them an overview of the season which is about to start pretty pretty soon absolutely first week of november we do seven susan and if people haven't come out and seen her yet they spend having need to she is absolutely transform reading isn't it it's the the passionate sounds she brings out of the orchestra now is is just remarkable me we've been a great orchestra for a long time getting better all the time and then she has just added an added kind of that just a passionate sense and she really touches your soul and creates magic and on a personal note i guess and you do specially theme shows as well because you also have pop season you know i do three pops concerts at the van which was well and then they are different types of the themes one this year is broadway themed and we're lewis oh my gosh is he right in they'll be doing music or rodgers and hammerstein and andrew lloyd webber wow so it it'll just be you know really a great mix of kind of old  broadway in some new you know really exciting you know and it seems like from here you know we have a bigger masterwork season than pops season other places i've been it's been the reverse it seems like you have a very strong audience here for mean i think one of the really great things about this community is that there is such a interest in diverse kinds of music yeah and the classical community which is generally smaller than than people that like pop and rock is very well represented in this in this town and i think it's a really wonderful perk of being in the orchestra here is because a lot of do have to rely on pops to sort of pay the bills exactly and for us the classical is the most important thing we do but we have such a diversity in our programming that i think it makes for great balance for an orchestra as well and it makes our season i think very interesting and i think you do wonderful children's concerts too we just had so many kids here and that's so fantastic and you have you have a children's children's program as well and education program and  we've got a summer music camp and then in the in june we do our star sort of music festival which is for college age students and really graduate so it's really kind of almost throughout you know from town they're really young  they're pre professional were offering some sort of educational program and you know when you add in this really is a very special community it is as an orchestra in the art of the arts period yeah i mean when you look at the our orchestra in a city  size to have a youth program to have a music international music festival of of of the magnitude of the sarasota music festival and to have a chamber music series that  very few orchestras our size would do well you know it's there is that i always say especially you know you look at there's an orchestra in an opera house in a town this size right it's amazing now running out of town i'm but i should mention we're doing a program to get there and we're doing a program with renee fleming is that exciting it's i'm not sure the source and correct me if i'm wrong but i'm not sure that the sarasota orchestra has ever had a star of this magnitude here i would agree and i've worked with her before and there may not be a more engaging personality in addition to incredible artistry but just i mean you can't take your eyes off this person and the way she speaks the way she performs it's just riveting and i couldn't be more excited about this  collaborate too and it's something you may guys may not know yet but it's she's reached out and she loved invite some of the children you know that are our training in the yards to come and see a little bit of the rehearsal i know we're trying to clear that right now but you know i rarely get that from stars you know that little extra touch so you can come and see our shows them ways of the orchestra shows but your tickets are sold through the sarasota orchestra can you tell everybody how we get hurt if we have our own box office which is  i just want to thank you gordon for actually for bringing them along because we were so rarely get to have an artist on the show and that's fantastic so you can see they're lovely wonderful people too and we're so so proud of the service at orchestra and we will be back in just a minute of what happens when people take action against housing discrimination my coworker was pressured by her landlord to pay her rent with sexual favors my neighbor was told she needs to get rid of her dog even though he's an assistant animal housing discrimination is illegal if you think you've been a victim reported to hard like me did they all reported discrimination and were able to secure their fair housing rights under the lawn of the things that he was tile about and it's great to have you know somebody here from the orchestra because the orchestra does so many shows here and there is such a great partner a very good partner is working with them on the two thousand and twenty project wright and also course the renee fleming concert guy and but he has been in vegas forever forever right wing out shows in fact some of the girls went to some of my girlfriends went to a party you know one of these bachelorette party and they went to see top well they cannot and these girls are from fort myers so they cannot believe it's coming so they're calling coming up you know because he said he was pats fans and of course characters up not only does comedy he pulls things out of it so he's very physical very physical cause yes this is fantastic and her top december thirteenth to be december twelfth and this is a great way to break up you know and get get your laugh back and you know you have a bad day of shopping  you especially in this chair there you go but anyway it's a they were the show was here last year we had some different yes but you know peter noone herman's hermits of ours or the sting rays rocky and it's a great combination they do christmas music holiday music but they seven o'clock show and it's really like a currier and ives you very much so crisp this will definitely put you in the mood for those last two days to bring it on home it's just beautiful show thing time and it's a show for the whole family bring your grandmother right bring the kids it's one of our family shows too so you know we have we have a lot of specials taken pricing for families and you know so it's just in their party afterwards there's if there's a family party afterwards exactly where education department puts that to get into a really great thing to do with the family i always like every year we have a five dollar off coupon if you bring canned goods into our building but also be another in locations around town the coupons to be all over town and one of the shows you can use for is a christmas carol and so you help the hungry right and we know there's a lot of those in well behind the state could use the the so anyway please help us by bringing some canned goods down for the mayors the hungry and then we have to not crackers coming up we're lucky city we have no one here to tell you talk about these ok well i used everything like that and they're so on december eighteenth and nineteenth right and then if you like or not cracker a little traditional classical classical you have the moscow bowing coming on december twenty eighth and there is more of the standard question  and the dress is exactly what you would remember if they come from both i mean you could compare you know and so i really really enjoyed the not cracker and then we have a couple more shows we have the producers off which is on december thirtieth you know there may not be a ticket left by well i think if you rush out there might still be a few left but not very very many it's astounding how many tickets for producers have been sold already it's fantastic what a wonderful musical one of my favorite is the seven thirty eight o'clock and then i'm so but anyway we're really excited and as we said before
