Dave MossGuest

1:51

Oh, wow.

Dave MossGuest

1:52

And I

Mandy BeemerHost

1:52

have to ask you, Dave, I've been hanging on to this question for a while.

Mandy BeemerHost

1:59

For somebody that may have this...

Mandy BeemerHost

2:03

Opinion of the symphony is possibly on the snooty side.

Mandy BeemerHost

2:09

Pinky in the air while drinking wine.

Mandy BeemerHost

2:13

The sloshing of the bourbon.

Mandy BeemerHost

2:16

How can you get that out of there? How do you just say, no, that's not what it's like?

Dave MossGuest

2:24

That's a great question.

Dave MossGuest

2:25

And I will say that a lot of the feedback that we get from our performances these days is that it's fun, that it's an experience.

Dave MossGuest

2:33

You know, we did this fun opening night this past Thursday where it was, you know, people could dress up.

Dave MossGuest

2:40

And what did that mean for Eugene? Well, it meant a lot of things.

Dave MossGuest

2:44

And so for us, I think it's communicating.

Dave MossGuest

2:46

You're right at home here.

Dave MossGuest

2:48

Yeah.

Dave MossGuest

2:50

And we had people in ball gowns and we had people.

Dave MossGuest

2:53

My favorite was a guy wearing a tuxedo and underneath the tuxedo he had on is Eugene Symphony.

Dave MossGuest

2:59

I'm with the band T-shirt and a bow tie.

Dave MossGuest

3:02

And, you know, we had people in jeans and we've got, you know, one of my favorite patrons named Peter who comes tie dye shirt on button and all and is, you know, it looks like Eugene.

Dave MossGuest

3:13

And the part of this was we had the Eugene Weaver's Guild that actually made Alex a jacket that he wore during the performance.

Dave MossGuest

3:22

It was inspired by the Rothko painting that inspired the piece.

Dave MossGuest

3:25

And I think a lot of the atmosphere of the symphony that you're describing comes from Sitting in a seat, being told when to clap, being told what to wear, being told how to experience the performance.

Dave MossGuest

3:37

But I would say at the Eugene Symphony, even in our masterworks performances like last Thursday night, where it can feel or the perception is a little buttoned up.

Dave MossGuest

3:48

I go on stage, I ask people who were there for the first time, get a huge round of applause for that.

Dave MossGuest

3:53

We had something like 600 new ticket buyers just to last Thursday's performance.
