Philharmonic to perform final concert in annual Symphonic Series
The Philharmonic is presenting 'In the Beginning' on March 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Broome County Forum Theatre. The final concert of the orchestra' 2024-2025 Symphonic Series is led by Music Director Maestro Daniel Hege and focuses on the natural and spiritual realms of the far North.
According to the Philharmonic, the three composers featured in the program are among the most significant in twentieth-century classical music. The orchestra will be playing the compositions of Einojuhani Rautavaara, Jean Sibelius, and Sergei Rachmaninoff.
Pianist Andrew Russo is returning to the Philharmonic as soloist in the Rachmaninoff concerto.
Audience members are invited to a free pre-concert lecture by the Philharmonic's Director of Education and Community Engagement, 'The Musical Politics of Nostalgia,' about the ways that nationalism and exile informed the music of Sibelius and Rachmaninoff. The pre-concert lecture will be held in the Forum Theatre's Recital Hall at 6:30pm.
Tickets to the show are between $28 to $69. Kids 17 and under can attend for free, thanks to Symphonic Series Sponsor M&T Bank.

Recap: adidas 2025 HBE Capstone Experience In ATL
Yvette Glasco At a time when DEI programs built to promote inclusivity have experienced government-issued shutdowns, it makes the Honoring Black Excellence campaign by adidas feel all the more important. With The Three Stripes in a financial situation that doesn't require federal funding for a program like HBE, the sportswear stalwart is simply committing to a $20 million promise made back in 2020 in support of Black communities. Five years later, we can attest to the fact that adidas is definitely putting money to mouth. Many mouths, in fact. On Tuesday (June 24), we braved the Atlanta heat for a special one-night-only event known as the HBE Capstone Experience, curated in collaboration with Paper Monday creative married duo Rog & Bee Walker. This year's honorees include Sekou Thornell of Kitboys Club, Jaycina Almond who we remember from The Tender Foundation and the soulfully Southern belles of Gee's Bend Quilters. RELATED: Women's History Month – Jaycina Almond & The Tender Foundation Utilizing a theme of 'Pathways & Pipelines,' Rog & Bee helped create an atmosphere that visually reflected the idea of Black creativity as a bridge to history and beyond. Whether it's the bridges of knowledge formed by quilt-making being passed down generation after generation, single mothers having bridges of access for support in any way needed or simply bridges of communication that develop when a friendship turns to family on the Kitboys-led soccer field, each honoree is creating both pathways and pipelines for success in our community. Speaking with Sekou, he told us, 'I had a unique experience where I got to play at an all-Black youth club in Stone Mountain, so from there you sort of form your relationship with a lot of people that maintain over a long time. I fell in love with it, my parents kept [soccer] with me and a lot of opportunities I got in life came out of the game. ' He went on to add of the city's ever-thriving cultural diversity, 'You would think for a Southern city that [Atlanta] wouldn't be so progressive in a game like soccer — most people think it's football or baseball dominant. There's always been that love for the game in those pockets of culture [throughout ATL], and because the city is shaped the way it is we found it easy getting people into the fold of it. I dedicate it all to this city and having the right ingredients to really have a platform like [Kitboys Club] grow.' Throughout the night, he made sure to always feel accessible to the many high school teenagers in the building who were given special access to the private event as a way to get inspired. Yvette Glasco — Sekou Thornell, Kitboys Club Yvette Glasco Similar sentiments were shared as we spoke with the ladies of Gee's Bend Quilters. Sitting together and representing all ages and shades of Black beauty, it was understood from jump that we were in the presence of a bonded sisterhood. 'I encourage [my granddaughter] by telling her how to sew and stuff, just different quilts and stuff, so she can teach her children when she have kids and it keeps going,' said Sharon Williams, who enthusiastically went on to describe their ever-growing legacy by busting out into song with the tune 'Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now' by McFadden & Whitehead. Hearing from a younger voice on the team, twenty-something sew pro Francesca Charley told us, 'Everything I learned from quilting came from my grandma, great-aunt and my mother. It's because of their words of encouragement that I am where I am today. There were so many times where I wanted to give up or I thought what I was doing wasn't good enough, or I simply could never make what they make, but to be here now with adidas is a lot to think about.' Her mom, Claudia Pettway Charley, followed suit with beautiful insight by adding, 'Honoring Black Excellence is to honor your own legacy. Your honoring others who present excellence, but it really doesn't matter what the category or field is. It could just be that you live your life on a daily basis in your own excellence, especially if you're Black. It's a privilege just to be here being honored by a company such as adidas. Even being recognized by Rog & Bee, who take your stories and turn them into movies right in front of your face, is all the definition of excellence and honor. Doing it in ways that only Black people can feels exciting to me.' Yvette Glasco — Claudia Pettway Charley, Gee's Bend Quilters Yvette Glasco Good southern eats, drinks aplenty for those old enough to indulge responsibly, a live jazz performance that fit the mood of the party perfectly and studio-style portrait sessions being snapped by Rog & Bee themselves all came together to cap off a night we won't soon forget. When it comes to honoring our heritage and literally everything that make it so beautiful to be Black, we give props to The Three Stripes for pulling off a night worth coming outside on during one of the most humid days in Hotlanta!

Alex Soros and Huma Abedin's extravagant Long Island wedding had everything — except Anthony Weiner
Huma hitched to lefty lover Shelter Island hosted this weekend's wedding snack for Alex Soros, 39, son of leftist billionaire George Soros, and Huma Abedin, 48, ex aide to forget the age Hillary Clinton. Why Shelter Island which you need a boat to reach instead of maybe Forest Hills or Kings Highway? Because the former Mrs. George Soros owns a 4,358-square-foot waterfront house. Nothing extravagant. We don't anymore save pennies so a round figure for the place — give or take — is a half inch of millions. Saturday night's party was 80 guests. Plus two waiting ambulances. That's the routine if a former president's around. This was Clinton. The other in case Mrs. Obama let her husband out. Cars parked anyplace. The group was so far left that their cars didn't even turn right. Bodyguards also. Crème de la crème The caterer? Marie Eiffel who says in her delicious French accent: 'I don't even know anything because I was the whole night in the kitchen. I didn't know who anyone even was until one week before. Didn't even know who was honorees. I've done private dinners. But I didn't know this was a sophisticated wedding event. I said, 'What? Who?' They told me and I said, 'OK.' ' Mme. Marie is into clothes, fashion, food. As the wedding music was dying down she told me: 'I thought it's just a party. I had no clue what was happening. This was simple but sophisticated. I am just not into names and who's who.' Black tie? 'No. Like a little family style party. The 5 p.m. hors d'oeuvres were smoked salmon, caviar, shrimp, mini crackers, lamb in a blanket plus I did flowers and grass and stones. The guests were impressed. The wine was particular. I bought it 1 ½ years ago. Small winery. Only their grape — Chablis, chardonnay, pinot noir and Champagne. 'Dinner started 6:30. There was music, speeches, desserts, petit fours around 7:30 then music and a 9 p.m. ice cream parlor. 'Huma came into the kitchen with her groom to thank everyone. My head went straight down in the food.' They tip the staff? 'Yes. And the bride's sister spoke thanking everyone. So did Bill and Hillary. Main dish was branzino, salmon, crab claws, caviar, shrimp, and country style tomato salad. All arrived on time and by 9:30 everyone left.' Huma's ex-husband Anthony Weiner — former congressman who did prison time for having exposed himself to an underage girl — is hustling now to get re-elected again. Yeah. Sure. Lotsa luck. He was not invited. Me either. Shame. I was available. Alec's 'Rust'-y belt skills Another little thing. 'Rust' star Alec Baldwin in Central Park with his seven kids. The Philharmonic was philharmonicking there. Alec, friendly, talked and talked — but somehow he'd forgotten his belt. Mouth open but the pants kept falling. I haven't personally re-confirmed this but my information leads me to believe he wasn't invited either to the Soros/Huma wedding. This preacher told his congregation there were 700 different kinds of sin. Two congregants stopped after the service to enquire: 'Can we see the list? We want to make sure we aren't missing anything.' For sure only in New York, kids, only in New York.
