Fabio Mechetti and the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra provided the music for the Scott Jones Dancers in the Target-sponsored Family Series Concert "Let's Dance" performed at the Times Union Center January 11, 2009.
It was a really neat show. The Symphony is wonderful and having to dance to classical music for hip-hop, tap, tumbling, and clogging is certainly not an easy task. A few co-workers of mine happened to be in the audience, and the pictures are all over the office now. And hooray for my ugly mug being on the T-U website! ;D
I wish this would've gotten greater advertisement. Shows like this are a really neat way to get more people in to see the Symphony than might normally would. The JSO is truly a gem and needs to be pushed more than it is.
If there are more shows along these lines, I *highly* recommend everyone checking it out.
Yeah, the JSO is a terrific symphony and certainly should be a source of civic pride, regardless of one's interest in classical music.
Are you the guy dancing, Doc?
That's me!
And absolutely, 100% agree with your statement.
I have also attended a few JSO shows. I have never thought of myself as a Symphony kind of guy... but I have enjoyed every concert I have been to. Even met Fabio M. following one of the shows. Who were you dancing with Doc?
She's a fellow instructor at Scott Jones, who teaches clogging along with me as well as Ballet. She's also a member of this past year's Roar. Truly an awesome and unpretentious woman.
