English-Horn
I am a medieval musical instrument! I am a little bit deceiving, as I have a great similarity to the oboe, but with a lower pitch. I belong to the woodwind instruments. The horn is the second highest sounding instrument group in the brass family. Just like some of my other colleagues, I have gone through some changes. I was very popular among troubadours--so romantic! It is said that I was originated in Silesia (Prussia) about 1720. I have been related to angels. I love this association, it makes me angelical and pure! I am very popular in Chamber and Symphonic concerts. Many important composers were inspired by my sound. Don’t miss this exciting and fascinating evening with our very own David Matthews, English Horn Principal on February 21st, 2012. By: Aída Cortés

Harp
I am angelical and a good looking instrument. I am the oldest instrument of the string instruments. The earliest evidence of harp is found in ancient Egypt circa 2500 BC. Harps were most likely independently invented in many parts of the world in remote pre-history. The harp's origins might lie in the sound of a plucked hunter's bow-string or the strings of a loom. I have been played in Africa, Europe, North, South and Central America in ancient and modern times. I have gone through different shapes. It is known that mermaids have used me to attract men to their arms; well, blame it on my charm! I know you want to know more about me! Please don’t miss our Behind the Scenes event on May 8, 2012 with our very own Principal Harp Susan Dederich Pejovich. By: Aída Cortés
Behind the Scenes - PAST EVENT
Where:
You have no doubt heard the term second fiddle, but have you heard the term second violin. The phrase is believed to have originated sometime between the year 1825 and the year 1835. It is easy to find a first violinist, but according to Leonard Bernstein, the second violin can be a far tougher instrument to play than the first. Without the second violin, we have no harmony. The Second Violinist position is considered to be a leadership role and an important one. Come hear our very own Second Violinist, Sho-mei Pelletier, Associate Principal Second Violin of the DSO, as she illuminates our evening. Join us on September 13, 2011 for an evening of talent and artistic passion! By: Aída Cortés.
RSVP by Friday, September 9th.

Behind the Scenes - PAST EVENT
Where:
I was created during the Renaissance period. I am a member of the brass family. My first appearance in public was around the 15th Century. I am shiny and a beautiful instrument, but of a somewhat complicated construction, this makes me very interesting! I was derived from the Egyptian primitive trumpet. The bass trombone was created to differentiate it from the High Trombone. I have gone through different transformations. This has been tiring, but in the end I love my shape and my unique sound. I am used in ensemble with other instruments. Do you want to know more about this wonderful instrument, don’t miss a special and a surprising evening on October 11, 2011 with our very own: Darren McHenry, Bass Trombone with the DSO.
