Dog Years
It was a dog of a year, Elodie Lauten writes. Go read her lament and then come back here and tell us what the highs and lows of your year were--musical or otherwise. (Hey, it's a slow week and a perfect time for navel-gazing)...One of the high spots of Jack Reilly's year was discovering that there are these things called blogs. (That's short for web log, Jack.)
Which reminds me that Alex Shapiro, Drew McManus and I have been asked to do a session called "Blogging (or how to build an audience without leaving home)" at the Chamber Music America National Conference on the morning of January 13. Come by and help us out if you're attending or, if you're not, give us some advice. I'm particularly interested in hearing about the possibilities the web offers beyond blogging which, frankly, requires more attention than most people are willing to give it in order to work.
Which reminds me that on January 3, any individual blogs that haven't been updated in the past month go into my inactive file and the link disappears from the main page.
Marvin Rosen is doing two editions of Classical Discoveries next week that are totally devoted to new music. The first will be this Saturday morning, December 31 from 6:00 to 9:00 am (Eastern time) and will be totally devoted to composers 30 years old and younger. The second program will be next Wednesday morning, January 4th from 6:00 to 11:00 and will be totally devoted to music from the 21st century. Both of these will be aired on WPRB from Princeton, NJ (103.3 FM) and can be listened on line at www.wprb.com
Just noticed that Kyle Gann has awarded some of us titles over at his blog. Jeff Harrington is "official curmudgeon," I'm the "official instigator" and Lawrence Dillon is the "social conscience" of Sequenza21. I'd have to say that Kyle is our "spiritual guru."
