Cheseborough
(pronounced CHEZZ-bro) has the uncanny ability to learn
a song off a scratchy 78 and re-create it loud, clear,
here and now, preserving the spirit and intricacies of
the original while making it indisputably his own. He
sings from the heart, accompanying himself on a shiny
resonator guitar that looks as beautiful as it sounds.
He also adds touches of harmonica and percussion to his
spellbinding one-man act. |

Bits 'N Pieces Season The Musical Tale of Peter Rabbit
Dapper, young Peter Rabbit believes he knows better
than Mama Rabbit. Ignoring her warnings he is determined
to
go to Farmer McGregor’s forbidden garden. Peter
slips away from the drudgery of chores on a musical adventure
to the paradise carrot patch. He’s sure no harm
will come to him as he gives in to the temptation of
the farmer’s prize vegetables. Peter not only
gets a taste of fresh vegetables but also of life and
the
perils of trespassing.
Children
are delighted as they watch the thoroughly Scottish
Farmer McGregor in hot pursuit of that rascal Peter
Rabbit. Little Peter, played by live actor Holli
Rubin, hops, scampers and finally eludes the towering
farmer. Peter makes his way to safety aided by a
cat-chasing dogfish but loses his brand new shoes
and jacket. Sheepishly, he faces the music with Mama
Rabbit. He manages to save his own tail when he admits
he’s learned the valuable lesson – “It’s
better to be good than bad!”
Filled
with singing, dancing and giant fun, The Musical
Tale of Peter Rabbit is an original production of
Bits ‘N Pieces Puppet Theatre and comes alive
in the 2004-05 touring season.

The Mississippi Symphony More than 17,000
public school children in grades four, five and six attend
the MSO Children's
Concerts each year; 3,000 kindergarten students attend
KinderConcerts. The String Quartet and Brass and Woodwind
Quintets conduct "Informances" to acquaint fifth
graders in area schools with instruments and compositions.
More than 550 students are currently enrolled in the Symphony's
string instruction program, and there are three thriving
Youth Orchestras with members chosen by audition from around
the state. With Maestro Pearce's departure in 1999, an
extensive conductor search was undertaken. The Mississippi
Symphony Orchestra heads toward the 21 st century with
a strong complement of musicians, a dynamic conductor,
a dedicated Board of Governors, and an enthusiastic crowd
of Symphony League volunteers. A capable staff manages
the operating budget of $1.3 million. A vital partnership
has been forged between the Symphony and the state it serves.
After more than 50 years, the MSO remains Mississippi's
greatest cultural force. |
