  5. Gil Shaham is drawn to works from the 1930s

  8. San Francisco Ballet at the Orange County Performing Arts Center

  11. Violas: They're hardly second string

    Few violists are born. Most have the instrument thrust upon them. In fact, the viola -- the overlooked stepchild of the orchestra's string section -- is rarely studied as a first instrument at all.

  12. The tuba, a.k.a. the bass of the brass

    Children of the '50s and '60s may remember "Tubby the Tuba" -- the story, set to music, of a very shy brass instrument in a symphony orchestra. All Tubby wants is a solo. If his saga rings a bell, however, it's probably because of the narrator of the 1947 recording, Danny Kaye, and not the tuba player, Los Angeles musician George Bouje, who doesn't even get a credit on the CD version.
