During October, the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera will present three different concerts spanning a wide range of music. This October, there is a concert for everyone!
The first concert of October and the kickoff to the Luken Holdings Pops Series is The Beatles: Revolver/Rubber Soul presented on October 6 at 8pm in the Tivoli. CSO Favorites, Jeans ‘n Classics, return to the Tivoli stage, conducted by Music Director Emeritus Robert Bernhardt, to bring some of the Beatles’ greatest hits! Voted number 3 and number 5 in Rolling Stones Top 500 albums of all time, Revolver and Rubber Soul include classics like “Eleanor Rigby,” “Girl,” “Nowhere Man,” and of course, “Yellow Submarine!”
Award-winning pianist Alexander Schimpf will join the CSO on Saturday, October 20 at 8pm for a concert of Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms. The concert opens with one of Mozart's last works, Overture to The Magic Flute, a charming piece. The finale piece, Brahm’s Symphony No. 2 in D Major, is “brilliant yet warm, and I believe the 2nd movement is one of the most beautiful and heart-wrenching movements in the history of symphonic works,” says Music Director Kayoko Dan.
Over the past several years, Alexander Schimpf has risen to prominence by impressively winning a series of competitions, including First Prize at the 2009 International Beethoven Competition in Vienna, and most recently emerged as the first German pianist ever to win First Prize at the prestigious Cleveland International Piano Competition, playing the Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4 which he will perform with the CSO.
The CSO Chamber Series opens on October 28 at 3pm in the Silver Ballroom of the Sheraton Read House with Basically Baroque. Works by Baroque master composers Bach and Telemann as well as pieces by CPE Bach and Albinoni are on the program. CSO Principal Viola, Robert Elder, is a featured soloist on this concert. Music Director Dan will also pull out her flute and join CSO Principal Flute, Janet Hale, for Telemann’s Canonic Sonata for Two Flutes.
Tickets for The Beatles: Revolver/Rubber Soul and Beethoven & Brahms start at $19. Tickets for Basically Baroque are $20. To purchase tickets or for more information, contact the CSO Box Office at 423.267.8583 or visit www.chattanoogasymphony.org.

"THE VOICE"-DANIELLE WINS
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It's a heck of a way to start a career. Sixteen-year-old Danielle Bradbery never had a big singing gig or a vocal lesson. But she wins season-four of "The Voice." It's also the third win for coach Blake Shelton. Danielle was too stunned to say much and couldn't get through the song to close the show. Indie rocker Michelle Chamuel (sham-yoo-EL') is the runner-up. Her coach was first-timer Usher. The Swon Brothers finished third. They were coached by Shelton, too. The two-hour finale featured a host of guest performers, including Cher and Pitbull.

"MAD MEN" SEASON FINALE
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Just as Don Draper becomes more aware of his mortality, Matthew Weiner is very aware that "Mad Men's" days are numbered. Weiner is the creator and head writer of the show. Sunday's episode is not only the last one of season six, it has to set up the final season of the series. But Weiner says he didn't worry about any of that.

PAM FROM "TRUE BLOOD" UPSET WITH STARBUCKS
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Anyone who knows Pam from "True Blood" knows you don't want to be on her bad side. So, Starbucks might want to watch its back. Kristin Bauer has started an online petition on Change.org to protest Starbucks' policy that requires you to get a lid for your drink. Bauer says it would help the environment if Starbucks could cut down on the 11 million lids she says are given out every day. She says she doesn't need a lid because she "graduated from a sippy cup" when she was five. More than seven-thousand signatures have been collected so far.
