San Fernando Valley Symphony Orchestra

NON-ESSENTIAL by Susan Craig Winsberg A young man, young enough to be my son, who lives in the Governor’s mansion,... a man I believed in, at one time has deemed me non-essential, my service to society dispensable, irrelevant. His edict came down from on high and my livelihood was gone overnight. With a stroke of his powerful pen, my security, my future discarded. He picked and he chose, eeny meeny miny mo, some to thrive, and some to go broke.

Maestro James Domine is pleased to announce the release of "Abelard & Heloise: An Audio Visual Realization." This production is the first of many music videos that will be forthcoming. First conceived as a prototype rock opera, "Abelard & Heloise" is a ghost story full of picturesque medieval romance. A tragic tale of love gone wrong, it is haunted by memories that won't die and and an unfulfilled desire that searches for something elusive that can never be found.

He would sincerely appreciate your subscribing to it.
