I'll send the whole page so you can peruse whatever you want. Hope to play or just listen there soon. The premier on Channel 8 was great - didn't have the $2500 on me to see it in person.

That's quite a hall, Ike. Congratulations to the Nashville area.
Reading through the articles on your link, I saw that Kenneth Schermerhorn was the conductor of the Nashville Symphony for many years, and the Milwaukee Symphony before that.
His name brings back memories for me. The guy was a good musician. He conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic's young peoples' radio concerts in the mid 1950's, and I never missed a broadcast. From there, I think he went to the Hong Kong Symphony and made some pretty good recordings with that group. Then I lost track of his activities. Glad to learn he had success in the U.S. after that.
