Just a little sales pitch for my group :P
"At 8 p.m. on Nov. 19, the symphony, conducted by Donald Schleicher, will perform in Orchestra Hall, the home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. On the first half of the program is Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2 in Bflat major, Op. 83, with U. of I. music professor Ian Hobson at the piano; the second half will showcase the orchestra in a performance of Symphony No. 12 in D minor, Op. 112, by Shostakovich."
As a freshmen I'm really excited for this opportunity, and as you know the shostakovich is a pretty fun part for bass. I think overall we sound pretty good and the concert should be a nice treat (and pretty cheap since we're just a college group)

Once i figure out how ot upload music i'll put some samples of us playing beethoven's 7th and shostakovich.
