...over to her house. I didn’t know her well at the time. There was a hole in the wall, so she thought there was some sort of feature hidden beneath the walls,” Burger says. “So she handed me this gigantic mallet, a sledge hammer, so I knocked down the wall.

...done some pretty wacky things," says executive director Jim Hirsch. "You haven't heard anything until you've heard thirty steel drums banging simultaneously with an orchestra." Hirsch says the Sinfonietta had also hosted concerts with bagpipes, and once featured an Indonesian gamelan orchestra, using gongs and mallet-struck instruments. Two years ago, the Sinfonietta collaborated with alternative rock band Poi Dog Pondering in a "remix and re-invention" of Dvorak's "New World" Symphony. The concert was so popular that the Sinfonietta's coming season will again pair the band with the orchestra for a performance of Bizet...

Scattered about the structure are various objects useful in carnage (a chain saw, a huge mallet, a viciously shaped sword of superhuman dimensions). The gladiators are placed in slings that are in turn attached to industrial-strength rubber bands. Boiing! They bounce off the walls and fly at each other with comic, alarming force. Piing! They are catapulted into the dome's upper reaches, grabbing frantically for whatever weapon...

...concert shell (technical term for the vague semi-circle we are standing in). He was not at the sectional rehearsal I attended earlier that week and may or may not know what I am doing there. At one point I stand too close to him and his mallet hits my cymbal. He scowls a bit. I move back, sideways in the shell. All I can look at are the cymbals that first cymbalist Alisha Creel ’02, a local alum, is playing. They are, unfortunately, crashing just before mine...
