BURLEY - The Magic Philharmonic Orchestra will begin its new season with the Fall Concert at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at King Fine Arts Center, 2100 Park Ave. in Burley.

"The selections performed range from classical works to modern show tunes, so there is something everyone will enjoy," said Bob Dean, who plays viola and handles the group's publicity.

The nonprofit Magic Philharmonic consists of 60 to 65 Mini-Cassia musicians. Bob Dayley of Burley is an original member of the group, founded in 1982.

"We started with nine members, and by the time we gave our first concert we had 23," Dayley said.

He said a change in conductors for each concert is one factor in success.

"Each one brings a different concept - a different flavor - and gives a little bit different type of entertainment," said Dayley, who plays trumpet and plans to continue as long as he can.

Guest conductor for next week's concert is Roger Turner, who began playing trombone at an early age. Turner studied music on scholarship at Ricks College and later at Brigham Young University, where he played in the BYU Philharmonic, Synthesis, Wind Ensemble and Cougar Band. He also played in several pit orchestras for operas and musicals, brass quintets, jazz combos and other small groups.

Turner has spent more than 26 years teaching secondary bands, orchestras, choirs and elementary music. He has been a member of Magic Philharmonic more than 20 years, playing French horn, and served as section leader, assistant conductor and guest conductor with the orchestra.

Del Parkinson, the concert's guest soloist, began studying piano at age 5 in his hometown of Blackfoot. He holds a doctorate of music from Indiana University and a postgraduate diploma from The Juilliard School. He received a Fulbright-Hays grant for graduate study in London. He was coordinator of piano instruction at BYU-Idaho, where he taught for eight years, and is now professor of piano at Boise State University, where he joined the faculty in 1985.

Parkinson's London debut recital was on the American Bicentennial Series, and his New York debut recital in Carnegie Recital Hall was sponsored by the Idaho Commission on the Arts. He has performed with the Guadalajara Symphony, the Indiana University Symphony, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the Utah Symphony and the Boise Philharmonic. He is recipient of the BSU foundation scholar award for creative activity, the Boise mayor's award for artistic excellence, the Morrison Center honor medallion, the Idaho Commission on the Arts career fellowship award, and the Idaho governor's award for excellence in the arts.

Some of the selections for the Fall Concert: "Dance of the Comedians" (from "The Bartered Bride"); selections from "Chicago"; "Second American Folk Rhapsody"; Mozart's "Magic Flute"; and Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," performed by Parkinson.

Tickets are $7 for adults, $3 for students and $17 for a family.
