After presentation of a $35,000 check to the orchestra from the Philharmonic Guild, an extended invitation to join the Guild, and the showing of a video promoting the orchestra (memo to The Smith Center: practice lowering and raising the screen without thumps and bumps), the evening finally got under way with what most in the audience had come to hear: “Symphony No. 9 in E minor” by Czech composer Antonin Dvorak.
On any given day, Jerry Nadal could be in Brazil, Germany or Australia.
It’s a bit ironic that “Say Goodnight Gracie” stopped by The Smith Center just about the time it was announced Hal Holbrook was canceling his scheduled “Mark Twain Tonight” at Artemus Ham Hall (due to a sudden movie offer). Both shows are monologues that give us life through the eyes of a celebrity.
