A symphony! What has been but a dream for the leader of the Terrace Community Band is now a reality. Musicians all over town have banded together to form a symphony orchestra. The group blends a_ local strings section, other small groups and individual musicians, and members of the Terrace Community Band. ‘You always think about someday doing something like this,” Ryan says. ‘Well, we're doing it.”’ “It's really quite exciting that it’s finally come to frui- tion.” Twenty-three. = musicians showed up for the first re- hearsail in September, but that has grown and. now — three practices later — Ryan thinks - he-has a 40-piece symphony falling into place. _ They have come from across -the local music community to form one big family. “lt was like a histor- i¢ moment the first time we all met. It was really moving.” There are nine-year-old violin players. a There are junior high school brass band players. And then there are players who Ryan has dragged out of the closet, Kaye Ehses hadn’t played bass for 25 years, but after she found an antique instrument in Prince Rupert, he soon pressed her into service. . ‘He has an incredible knack ~ for getting people to play way better than they ever thought they: could,” Ehses says of Ryan. ; She says, she’ll never forget that first rehearsal. ' “Tt was like a historic mo- ment the first time we all. met,’’ remembers Kay Ehses. In particular she remembers — | THEATRE The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October 20, 1993 - B1 Symphony bes PRACTISING: Kaye Ehses plays bass and Terry Anderson is a cello player in Terrace's new symphony orchestra. The group is still on the lookout for more strings players. the sound of the first chord the symphony played. “It was really moving,’’ said. “It’s a tremendous feeling lhe spirit that was moving through the group,’’ adds cello player Terry Anderson. Jim Ryan, of course, is the conductor. — And he still can’t quite be- lieve the project, which has been three years in the making, is actually happening, “Tt sounds. good,’’. Ryan says with a gleam in his eye. Twain’s Eden is place of laughter YOU KNOW THE STORY, It’s the tale of the first man and woman on a newly born earth, the Garden of Eden; an apple. and a snake. What you probably didn’t know was-that Adam was taking notes; and so. was Eve, according to ‘Mark Tweln. Twain’s light-hearted version of - the original Jove story comes to ~. iife in The Diary of Adam: and - Eve, the second half of Terrace. . Little ~ Theatre’s upcoming double-feature, “This is a ‘good-time’ play,” says. veteran: ‘TLT’ director. Karla Hennig. ‘There's no heavy un- derlying ‘message. Il’s just plain- full of laughs.’” The story. opens in the carly - “days, just before Adam (James -"S.Deranger) meets Eve (Rhonda - Small). At first, he says she talks a jot and eats too much fruit. She says he is lazy and not terribly bright. But as they explore their new world, their opinions slowly change. “Ts not the battle of the. sexes,” Hennig says. “It’s the . sexes learning to live togelher.”* Deranger is a TLT regular, and Small has previously played the role of Eve to Kitimat awliences. Slithering In. between their onstage struggles is Lara Tcssaro in her debut as the snake. The Diary of Adam and Eve “joins another onc-act comedy, Lemonade, directed by _ Marianne Brorup Weston. ~ The double-featute event runs 6 evenings, | October 28-30 and No- vember 4-6. Look for. tickets at . Sight ‘and: Sound, and” ‘Carters © ’ Jewellers. “Tt’s got a lot of promise,”’ “I’m not sure yet how I’m going to pay for all the music I’ve ordered,’’ he laughs. Another music patron delighted to hear of the symphonic development was Dr. R.E.M, Lee in Victoria,’ said Ryan. ‘He was just bubbling when I told him,”’ Ryan said. Appropriately, the first pub- lic concert of the as-yet- unnamed orchestra is tenta- tively set for Dec. 13 at the R.E.M. Lee Theatre. “We. don’t have enough pieces to make a whole con- cert,’ says strings section director Heinz Radek. » ; But they'll fill in with some piano music and other pieces. Radek said they need to drag a few more cello and viola players out of the closet. - “We know they are out . there,”” Ryan adds, Radek says they are starting with simple pieces and will build from there, ; “In time they'll gei more and more difficult,” he said. m= Season of change OLD MARIGOLDS get the heave-ho from gardener Ruth .
