Holiday Pops featuring Debby Boone

Not that you'd know it from these pages, but when in public, I do try to behave with a fair amount of professional decorum. Yet this past September, when I ran into Steve Jobman - the artistic director for the Quad City Symphony Orchestra's November 23 Holiday Pops concert at the i wireless Center - and he told me they'd secured Grammy winner Debby Boone as this year's featured vocalist, I'll admit it: I squealed like a little girl. Apologies to those nearby who thought I maybe saw a mouse.

International Chamber Soloists

Galvin Fine Arts Center

Friday, November 8, 7:30 p.m.

 

A very special guest is set to amaze audiences at St. Ambrose University's Galvin Fine Arts Center, and when I first learned that the Toronto Star called this individual "a superbly equipped player with a rock-steady bow arm and ultra-confident technique," my initial thought was: Awesome! Katniss Everdeen!

And then I remembered that the guest in question was actually Dmitri Berlinsky, the lead violinist and front man for the acclaimed musicians of International Chamber Soloists. And then I remembered that Katniss Everdeen is fictional. Sometimes I'm a bit slow on the uptake.
