“The Wyoming Symphony Orchestra is … about to embark on their second livestream production this Saturday and Sunday,” writes Dan Cepeda in Thursday’s (1/28) Oil City News (Casper, WY). “The popular holiday program in December was the first fully-produced WSO livestream event, and Music Director Christopher Dragon says they took what they learned and made improvements to the production…. ‘We’ve already got another camera lined up for this upcoming concert to help get more angles,’ he said. There will also be improvements to the audio.… The WSO has relied mainly on small wind and brass sections during their various gatherings this season, but for this livestream they were able to get clearance from health officials to bring in 29 orchestra members, all distanced on stage. Dragon says this week’s all-Mozart program … ‘works very well for small ensembles…. At the time that Mozart was writing, the string sizes that they had were much smaller.’ … Dragon says … he’s also looking forward to next season…. ‘We are determined to have audiences back in the hall as soon as it’s safe,’ he said.… ‘We have some very big ideas to use from the previous season we had to cancel. I’m confident that we will [bring] them back for next season.’ ”
