Get ready...

So I got a call a couple days ago from an undergrad friend who is the conductor of The String Orchestra of Brooklyn (The SOB.org - best acronym EVER) and now I'm going to be writing a piece for their spring concert. Watch out Brooklyn...

The conductor also has a pretty cool website and blog: Up Above Buildings

... I don't care...

This is pretty awesome and captures the nuance of the hipster fairly accurately.

I miss Vassar a little when I see it too...

Welcome

Hello out there. I'm in here. I'm trying to make this blog thing happen again.

Hopefully with more success.

I hope to bring you, in the coming weeks/months:

Talks with composers
Thoughts about composers
Thoughts about the business of music
Thoughts from other people besides me about similar things
Discussions of pieces from the modern repertoire
Things that you write to me about, telling me to put them into a quasi-coherent blog post

OK? OK.

Here I go...
