Inside the Classics

I’ve always been fascinated by the varied intersections of music and technology – some (potentially) successful , some less so . This one definitely goes into the former category. Those of you who skip over these tech-heavy blog posts, please...

Post-Post Game Wrap: Prom 57

Inside the Classics

The Times of London has the words I lacked four days ago . Their website is behind a paywall, so I can’t link you to the review. Ordinarily, I respect paywalls, but since most of you reading this couldn’t buy a copy of The Times if you want...

For our hardworking staff and stage crew, tours are essentially an exercise in waiting for something to go horribly wrong. A cargo truck transporting our instruments and wardrobe trunks from one city to another could have an accident. A musician c...

Looks like Sam will be dealing with jetlag as he and the Orchestra begin their week across the pond; I’m coping with my own jetlag, having returned from a two-week visit to my mother in Hawaii this past weekend. Easing myself back into the work...

Inside the Classics

Well, the good news is that we made it across the pond, safe and sound. The bad news is that I got about 45 minutes of sleep total on our flight over, and it’s raining in London and isn’t expected to stop until Friday. (I know – shocking.) Fortuna...
