It's painstaking work going through various #percussion parts mapping them out for a limited number of players, taking into account positioning of instruments, transitions, player strengths, and more. Is there a tool to automate this? Then again the process acquaints me with the pieces much better 🎶🎵

Also debuting my new Studio 49 #triangle to bring you the loveliest 'ding's in #TheSnowman piece. Beautiful overtones resonating through the hall...

The function of the tympanal organs is to listen to timpani, obviously.

KITCHENER WATERLOO SYMPHONY LAUNCHES 2025-2026 SEASON
September 2025 will mark the beginning of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony’s (KWS) 2025-26 season. Excitement in the region’s classical music scene is high and hopeful.
“The 2025-26 season marks the next step in restoring the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony’s prominence in Waterloo Region’s Cultural Communities,” the official 2025-26 season brochure reads.
This restoration is in the wake of the KWS’s abrupt 2023 closure. Although the 2023 season was canceled just two days before it was set to begin, money had been an issue for some time. In 2019, the organization had a deficit of $730,000.
Following closures due to COVID-19, subscription sales for the KWS dropped by 75 per cent— from 8,000 members to just 2,000. By April 2023, the deficit had reached $909,000 and was projected to hit $2 million by 2025. The symphony declared bankruptcy in September 2023 and all board members except the chair resigned.
“[COVID-19] killed an already weakened symphony,” KWS’s new Board Chair, Bill Poole said.
Rather than restart from scratch, musicians of the KWS proposed to creditors that their debts be non-payable and their bankruptcy annulled.
“It allowed us to be the same name and organization when applying for artist council grants,” Kathy Robertson, co-chair of the Players’ Committee and french horn player, said.
These efforts were successful, and the symphony’s bankruptcy was annulled in October 2024. Musicians immediately got to work putting on a 2024-25 season with money from a GoFundMe campaign.
“Internally, the players continued to do everything to put the concerts on and to pay for them. They did everything, like bringing the timpani from downstairs, getting stuff on trucks, setting up stands, striking stands,” Poole said.
The 2025-26 season ushers in a new era for the KWS, one that is decidedly less scattered than the last, but still recovering.
“It’s operating as a professional organization…with staff,” Robinson said.
“As minimal staff as you can imagine,” Poole said.
This leanness is KWS’s solution to remaining deficit-free. Post-September 2023, the board has a strict no-deficit policy, and the Centre in the Square, Waterloo Region’s main concert hall, (originally built with the KWS in mind), will no longer be a focal point in the symphony’s programming. In 2022-23, more than 40 shows were played at the Centre in the Square. In 2025-26, there will only be 3.
“We’ve gone from the symphony playing lots of concerts in the big hall, and doing as much other stuff, outreach, as possible, to playing a lot of other stuff and a few concerts in the big hall,” Poole said.
One of these few concerts will be the KWS Fundraising Gala, on Nov. 20, 2025. The symphony will play Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony. On the whole, things look uncertain, yet hopeful to Poole and Robinson.
“We are committed to keeping the music alive,” Poole said.

Can't believe I've been with the TASO #orchestra for 15 years. Which means some of those sticks are more than 30 years old 😅 I think I was a better percussionist in my teens, but I certainly have a deeper appreciation for the music & the playing as I got older. Here's to the next 15 years! 😆

First time I’ve played with a proper tray rather than a rummage-oh-where-the-hell-are-they-bugger-picked-up-an-odd-pair-oh-crap-missed-my-cue.

New sticks making a satisfying ‘timp’ sound. As my percussion teacher once said, they should go ‘timp’ and not ‘pauk’.

Back to orchestra rehearsals! I so miss this. We have a new percussionist from Japan (exchange student). Our section is so international! And all female... how often does that happen (aside from being in a girls school 😆)?
-
Got some phone cases (set of 3 at a good price) and #popsockets with swappable tops (cost much more but oh so cool!)
Which is your favourite?

Nice to get some orchestra time yesterday even though I was freaking tired (watch registered 2 hours of sleep the night before).
Yeah I know the pic was taken last month but it's good enough for the message :P
Day of meetings (8) tomorrow. Not looking forward to it..

Sabre dance! Last time I played it was more than 30 years ago as an arrangement for percussion ensemble. I recall all the notes very clearly, although I can't remember if I played them on the xylophone or vibraphone 😅
Timpani doesn't get the melody but has the important job of keeping time. Still fun, but I almost want to switch parts with xylophone 😆

I mentioned #ClaraSchumann in a recent list of favorite #composers, and this Romanze from her #PianoConcerto, written before she married Robert, is a beautiful example. Interestingly, the entire slow second movement is piano unaccompanied for the first half, then the #cello solo joins. #Timpani connect to the finale in a #MusicTheory flat sixth: A-flat major with an F-flat major spelled as E major, dominant of the main key of A minor https://youtu.be/-OKa_5fQ3QI

Dress rehearsal followed by a meeting (for work) just before the concert
T-5!

Haven't heard this symphony too often previously, but glad to be playing it. Pretty fun piece 🎶🎵
-
My view is pretty cool, but it's mostly the back of people's heads. You'll get a better view of the orchestra from the audience and more importantly a better sound!
-
Look at the fuzz and fraying! And I thought my timpani mallet heads need trimming 😛
(Our timpani heads do need replacing though...)
-
Found this from 9 years ago, I think we were performing #Tchaikovsky's 4th. 09.05.2012.
Hope we can have some practices and performances later this year. https://taso.fi

It's been > 5 months... Finally reunited with my #timpani. Also planning a production for next year and discussing #percussion instruments.
-
Thanks to a close friend (we were in school band together several decades ago) for this lovely gift! Now I can actually carry a #timpani (timpano? timpanum?) with me everywhere 😊
-
Aaahhhhh I forgot to bring my new sticks to the dress rehearsal! They are in my travel bag instead of my stick bag. Paska.
Should I perform with them tomorrow without rehearsing through? Sigh...
-
A symphonic evening with #BostonSymphony. Great way to conquer jet lag!
-
Part of prepping for a performance: in addition to practicing, figuring out notes and changes needed in the pieces to avoid carrying extra drums and minimize dancing while playing.

"Gives you the ability to change from clear articulation to smooth rolls in a split second. A necessity for many #Sibelius Symphonies..." Yes! Want! But while the mallets are 88 USD, the (cheapest) shipping option is 53 USD! 😲 Do I need it that much? 🤔
