the whole hog

That whole crazy Andriessen recording's now here for your perusal. Also, here's Alex Ross' great article on classical music and the internet, or something. Definitely worth a read.

WORKERS UNION

As promised, here's a taste of that live recording of Workers Union by the Yesaroun'Duo, a saxophone and percussion group starring Sam Solomon and Eric Hewitt. Their program notes are here. If you want the whole lovely thing, I'll happily burn it.

Da Capo concert

This looks like it is going to be really sweet. I am friends with two of the composers, Caroline and Missy. Curt Macomber and my friend Meighan Stoops (a kick-ass clarinetist) are in this group. Student tix are $15.
