Thanks go out to all of you who made the RCO’s 2006-2007 season such a success. We had a record number of people attend our concerts this season, and the responses we’ve been getting from everyone have truly been gratifying. If you haven’t yet purchased your tickets for the 2007-2008 season, give us a call at (775) 348-9413 and we’ll set you up. For more information on the season, you can visit our website.

Over the last several weeks we have received many requests for information on recordings by William Barton, the wonderful didgeridoo soloist in our March concerts. The most readily available recording is on the Naxos label; we had a few copies on sale at the concerts, but they sold out very quickly. Here is a link to the ArkivMusic site where you can purchase this disc, which is devoted entirely to music by Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe. Mr. Barton there performs Sculthorpe’s “Earth Cry,” a somewhat rewritten version for full orchestral accompaniment of “From Ubirr,” the piece he played with the RCO. Although I haven’t heard it, there is also a new recording of Sculthorpe’s very highly regarded Requiem on which Mr. Barton plays. It is available from ArkivMusic as well.

Don’t forget that if you use any of the ArkivMusic links on this page to make a purchase, the RCO receives a percentage of the total sale.
