Happening today at 2:15 EST, the Ft. Lauderdale Film Festival's closing day film is "Ocklawaha - Tales my Father Told". Weston Sound did the stereo and 5.1 audio mix of everything from the orchestra to the sound effects to the narration by Peter Coyote. We also edited all of the orchestra video segments. It's been nominated for a daytime Emmy, and we couldn't be more proud! Bravo, composer John Gottsch.

The film “Ocklawaha: Tales My Father Told” features the symphonic poem by John Gottsch as performed by the South Florida Symphony Orchestra. The “tales,” based on the composer’s childhood memories with his father on the mystical Ocklawaha River, are impressionistically filmed by Emmy winner Mark Emery, and narrated by Ken Burns stalwart, actor Peter Coyote. The film, which premiered on PBS WUFT on March 20th is written and produced by Emmy winner Steve Robitaille.

This Saturday is Opera Day on WRTI — tune in to hear our recording of the Academy of Vocal Arts performance of Gioacchino Rossini’s The Barber of Seville, the “opera buffa of all opere buffe.” The opera will broadcast in WRTI's usual Saturday opera slot on Nov. 9, at 1 p.m. on 90.1 FM, streaming at wrti.org and on the WRTI app.

We recorded this performance back in April 2024 in the Helen Corning Warden Theater at AVA, and could not be more proud. Bravi Tutti!

Just watched this again, after about a year away from it. Even with the compressed audio mix, I'm liking it better now after all the hoopla has died down. It's everything but the kitchen sink musically (thanks, Paul!) and it's a nice romp, looking back at happier times. Not Lennon's best work, but it's a beautiful sentiment and it's a bittersweet final goodbye.
