(music) >> herb theatreopen rehearsal. listen to the rehearsal. i think it is fun for them they see our work process, our discussions, the decisions we make. it is good for us. we kind of behavior little bit when we have people in the audience. msk (music) >> we are rehearsing for our most expensive tour; plus two concerts here. we are proud that the growth of the orchestra, and how it is expanded and it is being accepted.

my ambition when i came on as music director here -- it was evident we needed absolutely excellent work. also evident to me that i thought everyone should know that. this was my purpose. and after we opened which was a spectacular opening concert about five weeks after that the economy completely crashed. my plan -- and i'm absolutely dogmatic about my plans --were delayed slightly. i would say that in this very difficult timefor the arts and everyone especially the arts, it's phenomenal how new century has grown where many unfortunate organizations have stopped.

during this period we got ourselves on national radio presence; we started touring releasing cds, a dvd. we continue to tour. reputation grows and grows and grows and it has never stopped going forward. msk(music) >> the bay area knows the orchestra. you maybe take things for granted a little bit. that is simply not the case will go on the road. the audiences go crazy. they don't see vitality like this on stage. we are capable of conveying joy when we play. msk(music) >> any performance that we do, that a program that will be something on the program that you haven't heard before.

string orchestra repertoire is pretty small. i used to be boxed into small repertoire. i kept constantly looking for new repertoire and commissioning new arrangements. if you look at the first of the program you have very early, young vibrant mendelson; fabulous opener and then you have this fabulous concerto written for us in the orchestra. is our gift. msk(music) >> and then you have strauss, extraordinary piece. the most challenging of all. string orchestra work. 23 solo instrument no violin section,

now viola section; everybody is responsible for their part in this piece. the challenge is something that i felt not only that we could do , absolutely could do but i wanted to show off. i can't tell you how aware i am of the audience. not only what i hear but their so strong. i have been doing this for a long time. i kind of make them feel what i want them to feel. there is nobody in that audience or anywhere that is not going to know that particular song by the fourth note.

and that is our encore on tour. by the way. i am proud to play it we are from san francisco. we are going to play that piece no matter where we are. >> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age

groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features. >> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key

part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had before. [ applause ] fp >> and we are sending a strong message that san francisco families are welcome and we want you to stay.

the bike counter everyone seemed to be in favor of them and district nine, and we had concerns, with just a proximity to power, being an issue, and that was, mainly covered by mta staff and their presentation. >> for the buses being able to pick up the seniors in some location and that was about it. >> and mtl addressed the concerns that none of the bike project lists were in the china basin area and given that there say population explosion from that area, he was concerned about that and there will be projects cominging up that will be covered by that. >> and the main source of the contention in our meeting was regarding the right to workday section. and several members, annually

have issues with paying for bike to workday. and so that is reflected in the 3 abstentions in that vote for that item. >> and some suggested the funds could better be used for the class three bike routes or education, and or giving bikes away to the potential customers and the tsa staff cited the surveys that have shown that the bike to workday encourages the bike to workday with new riders. and so, we have the four that voted for it i felt that it was appropriate. item 6 and the capacity study and the staff referred to muni, in the presentation as an important transit system. and my major comment about that was that i wanted mta in the study to remember that bart which is the original tran sit system is important, and so it goes both ways and to make sure

that bart was part of the discussion going forward. >> and that was all that i had. >> any questions? >> all right, thank you very much. >> any questions from the committee members? >> all right, seeing none, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> and all right, mr. clerk, could we call item 3 please? >> take the public comment. >> public comment on the item number two? >> (inaudible)
