Serj Tankian Goes Symphonic — Then It's Back to System of a Down
Now, on a recent early-autumn afternoon in Los Angeles, Tankian — as politically passionate as ever — is explaining the symbolism in his Orca Symphony No. 1, which he will present on Nov. 10 and 12 at Valley Performing Arts Center, performed by the CSUN Symphony Orchestra. The symphony is a long way from the terse, manic snap of System of a Down albums like Toxicity or Mezmerize, and that’s where Tankian wants to be — for the moment, at least. -- LA Weekly

Play It Forward Nov. 7-13: College hoops tipoff gives new optimism for UCLA, concerns for USC
• Cal State Northridge: No. 188 by CBSSports.com, No. 196 by SI. Coach Reggie Theus (36-62 in three seasons) launched a rather modest 945 3-point shots in his 13-season NBA career. His Matadors are even more shy about it, having taken the fewest 3-point tries over the last three seasons (1,165) than any other school in the country. In a 94-75 exhibition win over Cal State L.A. last week, the Mats took 11 3-pointers, while the visitors tried 41. -- Los Angeles Daily News

He also has honed this material by performing more than two dozen times in Europe, including concerts with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and the Bruckner Orchestra Linz of Austria. -- Los Angeles Times
