Symphony Pops Conductor ( Emeritus ) Richard Kaufman ( who had served as Pops conductor for 30 years ) hosted by symphony supporters Scott and Leslie Siegel at their home in Newport Beach . The dinner included watching a movie with Carl and Richard in the Siegels ’ screening room .
With that rare opportunity in mind , I held my bidding paddle up until I was the last bidder remaining .
It took two years to fulfill that auction item , but last July – a month after my conducting debut – my girlfriend Della and I , along with Jim Owen ( founder of Classical Mystery Tour , the Beatles tribute band that Maestro Kaufman conducting at the July 4 concert ) and his wife Stefanie , arrived at the Siegel ’ s ’ home .
Once Carl and his wife Susan , and Richard and his wife Gayle , arrived , we all chatted as we enjoyed appetizers and wine , then retreated to the dining room . At each place setting was a program for the evening with a “ Music Man ” theme , including photos of me conducting .
After dinner it was time for a movie . Richard chose “ The Music Man ” because he had a small role in the film when he was a youngster .
I was delighted . As we watched the movie and Richard regaled us of his time filming “ The Music Man ” I soaked up the moment , realizing the conducting experience had come full circle .
Specials thanks goes to Scott and Leslie Segel , the incredible staff at the Pacific Symphony , to Carl St . Clair , and of course to the musicians who helped make my experience one I will treasure the rest of my life .
And Enrico — if you ever need someone to fill in as a Pops conductor , I have my baton ready to go !
