The Cleveland Orchestra has hired Massimo La Rosa for the position of
principal trombone, ending a two-year search that began when Doug
Wright
left. Massimo La Rosa, of La Fenice opera house in Venice, played principal trombone with the Cleveland Orchestra as it performed the Symphony No. 2 by Johannes Brahms and Alban Berg's Chamber Concerto in May.
La Rosa's participation was the final stage of his audition. He was among 27 musicians who tried out for the post in the last two years. After La Rosa's week in Cleveland, music director Franz Welser-MOst decided to extend the job offer.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra can count many fine achievements under the recently concluded 15-year tenure of music director Daniel Barenboim. But an extensive discography isn't one of them.
As if to catch up on lost time, the venerable orchestra plans to record six live concert CDs over the next three years on its new in-house label. As if to signal the ambition of this endeavor, the orchestra has released this recording of Mahler's Third Symphony as the first in the series. Its new principal conductor, Bernard Haitink, conducted this October 2006 performance.

H. Owen Reed was born in Odessa, Missouri, on June 17, 1910. He was a pupil of both Howard Hanson and Bernard Rogers at the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music. He also studied with Roy Harris and Helen Gunderson. Beginning his long association with the Michigan State University in 1939, he served as professor of music and head of composition until his retirement in 1976. He is the author of several books on theory and composition. In the thirties, Reed traveled a good deal in the Americas and Europe, capturing the diversity of folk music he heard in Scandinavia, Mexico, and the Caribbean islands. His La Fiesta Mexicana, a suite for full wind ensemble has been transcribed for orchestra and premiered by the Detroit Symphony. In 1975, Reed won the Neil A. Kjos Memorial Award with his unorthodox band score, For the Unfortunate. Among his other compositions are the ballet The Masque of the Red Death, the opera Peter Homan's Dream, a symphony, concertos for violin and cello, and choral and chamber works.
La Fiesta Mexicana is one of Reed's most performed pieces...
Subtitled 'A Mexican Folk Song Symphony for Concert Band', this work was written in 1949, based on experiences gained during a five-month sojourn in Mexico on a Guggenheim Fellowship. The authentic folk tunes Reed used can be found in Chapala, Jalisco, and Guadalajara; other themes were borrowed from Gregorian motifs and Aztec dances.
