We have a special two part sketchwalk this Saturday, January 13, at the Green Music Center!
We’ll meet at the entrance of Weil Hall at 10am at Sonoma State University and sketch around campus until 1pm when we’ll meet up again to share our morning’s work. Then at 2pm, for those who are interested, we’ll be sketching the symphony rehearsal inside Weill Hall. If you haven’t yet seen a symphony rehearsal here, it’s a real treat.
Parking is located across the street from Weill Hall at the Green Music Center and may be accessed by the main entrance on Rohnert Park Expressway. I have never encountered a parking fee on the day of the symphony rehearsals.
If you plan on attending the rehearsal, tickets are $17 (plus any convenience fees) and can be purchased in advance online or at the door. Ticket prices may be slightly higher on the day of the event. I suggest bringing a sack lunch to be eaten before entering the theater since no food will be allowed inside (though snacks and drinks can be purchased and eaten in the lobby).
The program is as follows:
Conductor: Graeme Jenkins
Performer: Orli Shaham, piano
Program:
HAYDN : Symphony No. 100
MOZART : Piano Concerto No. 21
BARTÓK : Concerto for Orchestra
Performer: Orli Shaham, piano
Program:
HAYDN : Symphony No. 100
MOZART : Piano Concerto No. 21
BARTÓK : Concerto for Orchestra
NOTE: While sketching inside the music hall, I recommend using only pens and/or colored pencils. A small watercolor set using a waterbrush might be acceptable but please note that food and liquids are not allowed inside the concert hall. We want to be respectful and keep the Hall clean while sketching. Also, we don’t formally have permission to sketch in the auditorium but a number of us have sketched there several times without any trouble.
DIRECTIONS: The Green Music Center is located on the corner of Rohnert Park Expressway & Petaluma Hill Road in Rohnert Park. It is located on the campus of Sonoma State University.
