Ilana Mysior's Final Public
Concert
June 1, 2007
Wow... we often hear the phrase, "The end of an era" but it seldom hits us
hard in a personal way. Tonight it does. I cannot imagine not seeing Ilana on
stage at the church with the New Sinfonia orchestra. Some of the most memorable
moments in San Diego music have involved her. She is simply one of the photos on
the dictionary page beside the word "Talent". Tonight, however, she says will be
her last public concert. I understand why she feels this way and I support her
but I'm still sad. I'm going to try and do something I've not tried... I'm
posting the final movement of the final concert. It is an mp3 recording of the
Rondo; Allegro from the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 1. It is a pretty large
file, about 11 megabytes. I hope it works because if you weren't there, you
missed a heck of a performance.
Thanks, Ilana, for all the wonderful music over the last twenty years.
(I will also post some movies and some other photos later this week when I
get a chance to process the files.)
