Our Mission:
"Free Spirit Promotions (publisher of Big Blend Magazine) is
a company based on the belief that education is the most
formidable weapon that can be waged against fear, ignorance
and prejudice. It is our belief that education starts at
home and branches outward. Education leads to travel, and
travel leads to understanding, tolerance, and appreciation
of cultures and customs different to our own, and ultimately
to world peace. Our company is further based on the
principle that networking, communication, and helping others
to promote and market themselves leads to financial
stability; thus paving the way to better education, travel,
and the spirit of giving back to the community."
Fallbrook
Music Society
Now in its 31st year of presenting classical music
performances, Fallbrook Music Society is a major presenter
of nationally and internationally renowned classical music
performances in a series of symphony and virtuoso concerts.
From
August through May each year, the Fallbrook Music Society
hosts a series of five symphony concerts, a two-concert
Chamber Virtuoso Series, a summer Symphony 'Pops' outdoor
community concert and a Christmas concert. The upcoming
season is a continuation of the Society's 31-year long
history of presenting classical music serving rural
Fallbrook and its surrounding communities. Guided by its
mission, the Music Society has made classical music more
accessible by fulfilling the region's unmet cultural needs.
Rich, classical music experiences are often available in
urban centers, but rarely found in rural communities, and
Fallbrook Music Society provides an opportunity for many of
the area's adults and children to experience the effect of
first-class symphonic concerts, and see live, orchestral
performances of music such as Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and
Vivaldi's Four Seasons. There are currently no other
symphony organizations serving the Fallbrook region whose
work duplicates or parallels the work of Fallbrook Music
Society.
The
exciting, new season showcases celebrated artists, amazing
guest soloists and dynamic orchestral and chamber musicians
that reverberate with the sounds of nations from around the
world. Artists that will appear next season run the gamut
from established world-renowned orchestras such as the
Lucerne Festival Strings from Switzerland and the Salzburg
Chamber Soloists from Austria to the famed Conjunto Ibérico
Cello Octet from Amsterdam.
The
concert venue, Bob Burton Center for the Performing Arts, is
a work of art in itself. Acclaimed for its exceptional
acoustics, Ben Simon, Music Director of the San Francisco
Chamber Orchestra recently said: "Who
needs Carnegie Hall? Fallbrook has an acoustic marvel of a
concert hall in the Bob Burton Center. We have played in
halls around the world and Fallbrook's {theater} rates among
the very best." (January 2007).
Brenda Montiel, President of the Fallbrook Music
Society, and Judy Siodmak, PR & Marketing Director of
the Fallbrook Music Society, joined The Big Blend
Magazine editors Nancy J. Reid and Lisa D. Smith, as
featured guests on their Online Radio Show ‘Champagne
Sundays’. This show aired live from 11am-1pm (PST) on
Sunday, July 20th, 2008. To listen to Brenda and Judy's interview, please double
