It Ain�t Over Till It�s �
It turns out Marin Alsop�s appointment isn�t a done deal after all. The musicians have formally asked the board of directors of the Baltimore Symphony to postpone any decision on a conductor until Thanksgiving. For perspective on this issue, better go see what Carmen Helena T�llez has to say: it seems women conductors face the same questions and obstacles that were around fifty years ago.
Also in the news . . . remember Ross Edwards � the guy who wrote that Oboe Concerto the Philharmonic premiered last season? Well he�s back in the news today after his Concerto for Guitar and Strings won "best orchestra piece" at the Australian Classical Music Awards. He has some interesting things to say . . .
Back here at the ranch, Everette Minchew asks how well you take criticism. As Everette especially knows, some folks don�t take it too well. Those of you in Pennsylvania will want to check out the Calendar, and I regret to inform you that, due to some technical mumbo-jumbo, Sequenza21 will have to close for a few hours on the 21st. So be sure to get your fill of new music news and views before then.
