You’ve heard of Abbot Kinney’s First Friday. Well, this is the Last Friday and the first of the Last Fridays starts this Friday, 30 January at Danny’s, 7:30 pm at 23 Windward. It will be hosted by the Venice Symphony Orchestra conducted by Wesley Flowers.
The orchestra features brass, strings and percussion. Their repertoire encompasses all types of music.
George Francisco, a symphony booster, said Wesley fits the orchestra to the size of the room. He calls it “The Roomtone Orchestra.” “So he will have between 8-12 pieces at Danny’s and then jump down to a quartet, then probably a late night bluegrass duo,” Francisco stated. “I think he is working on a Beethoven/Ray Charles mash-up to debut. Pretty cool.”
A portion of proceeds will go to support the orchestra’s programs to give free music lessons to homeless youth and educational performances to our local public schools.
