Win tickets to saxophonist Timothy McAllister and the Fresno Philharmonic
There’s a hint of jazz in the Fresno Philharmonic’s Masterworks concerts this weekend (7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 20, and 3 p.m. Sunday, April 21, at Shaghoian Concert Hall). If you’re a member of The Munro Review, you can win a pair of tickets to the Sunday matinee.
Here’s how the orchestra describes the concert:
A jazz inflected foxtrot for orchestra, a saxophone concerto inspired by the legendary John Coltrane and one of Brahms’ most masterly symphonies make for an energetic and eclectic program. Saxophone master Timothy McAllister joins us for French composer Guillaume Connesson’s “A Kind of Trane.” Rei Hotoda brings her signature interpretive energy to Brahms’ Symphony No. 3, whose gorgeous Third Movement has been featured in multiple films and was recorded by the Ramsay Lewis Trio as “You’ll Love Me Yet.”
I’ll be posting an interview later today with McAllister, who arrived in Fresno on Thursday for the gig.

Nice reviews. Interesting ticket promotion. If I am chosen for winning tickets, please give them to a high school or college saxophone student.
Thank you for your Review
