The orchestra presents musical masterpieces to nourish the hearts\, souls and minds of local music patrons. \nMost members live in the Orlando area but we have regular members who come from as far afield as Jacksonville\, Tampa\, Daytona and St. Petersburg. The Philharmonic gives 13-15 concerts per year and so we don’t provide full time employment for any of the players. Our players are comprised of resident and international artists who collaborate with symphonic and operatic companies at large. Although most orchestra members are not Villagers\, there are two professional orchestra members who are Village residents and there are six amateurs who train each Saturday so that they can meet the standards required to play with the Philharmonic.

SUMMARY:Etta May: Still Kickin'
DESCRIPTION:Etta May has performed her brand of clean-comedy on Oprah\, Showtime\, Comic Strip Live\, MTV\, and as a guest commentator on “CBS Sunday Morning\,” Winner of the prestigious American Comedy Awards “Female Comic Of The Year\,” and so much more.  In addition to television\, Etta May is a regular on Sirius-XM Comedy Channels and the syndicated Bob & Tom radio show.\n\n\nBorn and raised in Bald Knob\, Arkansas\, Etta May grew up alongside nine older brothers\, who referred to their baby sister as “the human sacrifice.” Etta May’s parents – her father\, a potpourri farmer\, and her mother\, bedridden by constant childbearing – didn’t realize she was a girl until she needed a training bra. \nShe met her husband\, Delbert\, an aspiring truck driver\, at a friend’s kegger. From across the yard\, their eyes locked in a loving look\, you know that stare that lasts a moment too long. Nine months later\, she was blessed with a boy\, and three more kids followed. “That’s where my comedy comes from. I just wait for my husband or kids to do something stupid\, and then I write it down.” \nBefore finding success as a stand-up comic\, Etta wandered from dead-end job to dead-end job\, including a 10-year stint as a school bus driver. She says she learned how to handle unruly kids by Armor-Alling the seats and slamming on the brakes all the way to school. Her theory: “Kind of hard to pick a fight with the kid in front of you when you’re just holding on for dear life.” \nThen she decided to take a chance on herself and follow her dream. Lots of hard work and drive\, and a few years later\, she wins “Female Comic Of The Year” at the American Comedy Awards. It’s the American Story we are all told\, that you can become anything you set your mind to in this great country\, and for Etta May\, it worked!
