September 21-22, 2007—The members of Five By Design made their debut with the Calgary Philharmonic. We wish to thank Maestros Pierre Simard, Roberto Minczuk, Michael Wall, Michael Hope, and all the wonderful staff and personnel of the CPO for making our stay such a pleasant experience. On Saturday, several of us made a brief trip to Banff for a hiking excursion on one of the trails. We look forward to returning in the not too distant future! Many thanks to Steven Hobert (piano) and Matt Edlund (drums) for their friendship and great musicianship!
