Testing testing. Public comment is open. Item four is Public Comment is open. We will close Public Comment. Item five adjourn. Thank you colleagues. music herb theatre,open rehearsal. Listen to the rehearsal. I think it is fun for them, they see our work process, our discussions, the decisions we make. It is good for us. We kind of behavior little bit when we have people in the audience. Msk music we are rehearsing for our most expensive tour; plus two concerts here. We are proud that the growth of the orchestra, and how it is expanded and it is being accepted. My ambition when i came on as music director here it was evident we needed absolutely excellent work. Also evident to me that i thought everyone should know that. This was my purpose. And after we opened, which was a spectacular opening concert about five weeks after that the economy completely crashed. My plan and im absolutely dogmatic about my plans were delayed slightly. I would say that in this very difficult timefor the arts and everyone, especially the arts, its phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped. During this period we got ourselves on National Radio presence; we started touring, releasing cds, a dvd. We continue to tour. Reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. Msk music the bay area knows the orchestra. You maybe take things for granted a little bit. That is simply not the case will go on the road. The audiences go crazy. They dont see vitality like this on stage. We are capable of conveying joy when we play. Msk music any performance that we do, that a program, that will be something on the program that you havent heard before. String orchestra repertoire is pretty small. I used to be boxed into small repertoire. I kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. If you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. Is our gift. Msk music and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. The most challenging of all. String orchestra work. 23 solo instrument, no violin section, now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. The challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do, but i wanted to show off. I cant tell you how aware i am of the audience. Not only what i hear but their vibes, so strong. I have been doing this for a long time. I kind of make them feel what i want them to feel. There is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note. And that is our encore on tour. By the way. I am proud to play it, we are from san francisco. We are going to play that piece no matter where we are. Could we please stand for the pledge of allegiance .

Good evening and welcome back. Hi, i tried to come incro. Gnetoo but i am jackie. I could not come because my rain dance did not in the past few weeks, i am kind of in a hurry today because i dont want to get caught in more rain. I missed you guys and, yes i did, a couple of things that i wanted to share with you, just general comments, in terms of if any of you, particularly those in uniform decide to come to 75 deor street that is the apartments, take the stairs. Do not take the elevators, there are blind spots and i have got this thing about ambushing so i dont like it. So just safety thing, take the stairs. Secondly, i didnt have an opportunity when i was here last night because i was in mourning, to say a thank you to sergeant tad yamaguchi, he did an incredible job of trying to make the building safer and was treated very badly by property manager and social services. He actually came to the Community Meeting and he was going to be my two minutes worth of Public Comment. And i am so relieved he was escorted out. I apologizedto
