Extraordinary Listening

Congratulations to Tatsuo Hoshina and his
superb ensemble in their recent presentation
of "The Creation".

Before |boughttickets for "The Creation",
as a skeptic, | asked Tatsuo if Haydn
would be pleased. With an engaging smile
on his lips, Tatsuo replied modestly that
Haydn would be pleased. Now that I've had
the enormous pleasure of hearing and
seeing Maestro Hoshina in action hovering
over the score, urging his charges on, and
co-ordinating in masterful fashion the
performance of this demanding work | can
say with certainty that Haydn would indeed
be pleased.

The orchestra, soloists and choral group
performed admirably -- they didn't even
flinch when a light bulb popped with a
sharp, unnerving sound. And they were
especially well integrated and outstanding
in the glorious close to the Part |,

'The Heavens are Telling.'

As a final note, it is clearly evident
that the Douglas College performance of
"The Creation" was the result of many hours,
days, weeks, and months of hard work,
dedication, skill and energy of Tatsuo and
his performers.

My sincere thanks for a very rewarding -
evening.
