**BIDDING FOR THIS ITEM AT 2/7/09 EVENT ONLY**

Have you ever dreamed of standing in front of an orchestra and hearing Mozart, Beethoven or Dvořák pour forth with the wave of your hand? You can make that dream come true just by bidding on this package.

Should you win this marvelous bundle, you will not only receive four tickets to the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony’s May 3rd Grand Finale Gala Performance with New York Philharmonic Principal Cellist Carter Brey ($180 value), but also you will get a conducting lesson with the orchestra’s celebrated conductor David Bernard. And that’s not all. You will be able to take what you’ve learned in your lesson with Maestro Bernard and actually conduct the orchestra in a rehearsal for the May 3rd performance.  If that’s not exciting enough, we are also including in this package CD recordings of the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony performing Beethoven Symphony Number 9 and Brahms Major Orchestral Works ($35 value).  Still more? Yes! What is the one critical item that every conductor absolutely MUST have? A baton, of course.  And in this package, you will find a hand-made wood baton selected by Maestro Bernard and shipped from London’s premier baton fabricator, JP Guivier, just for you!
