I have the coolest job 🥲

A stage and projector screen shot from a balcony seat of an avant garde theater space. An Asian woman in a red dress stands in the spotlight with a clarinetist. They’re surrounded by music stands, stools, monitors, and various instruments—clockwise from the top, grand piano, various electric guitars, a drum set and a fully loaded percussion desk with glockenspiel and xylophone. People sit throughout the seats towards the front with laptops and pens out, observing and taking notes.

I was struck with a “if I don’t have Asian food right now I will die” mood, so I made myself my first kimchi jjigae of soup season. Now I have no excuse to keep procrastinating on memorizing this opera 🙃

The historical overlap that completely blew my mind is personal: my mom grew up eating SPAM and M&M’s in Korea as treats because of the American occupation… alongside her grandmother and great aunt who both had bound feet.

Old Chinese ladies with bound feet ate M&M’s and SPAM.

There was a ROH production of Roméo et Juliette that Roberto Alagna sang when he was young like… right after his wife had passed away. I watched it a thousand times when I was in a low spot 😭 youtu.be/zUko819Amnc?...

I love new music. I love showing up at a batty old composer’s studio to have a coffee that makes my eyeballs vibrate out of my face and then argue about what’s in the orchestral score vs. the parts. THIS is what art is all about, babieeee ✌🏽

I need more oratorio and chamber work. Doesn’t matter how good you get at what you do. Memorization just fucking sucks.

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

I love you, Bluesky.

Your Hegseth Insult About Mouth-Breathing
I saw a meme on BlueSky where you are quoted calling Pete Hegseth a "mouth-
breathing dipshit." Seriously? That's the best you can do? I would have thought that anyone teaching at Princeton would have a better vocabulary, be more creative, and have more intelligence than to use "mouth-breathing" as an insult. That is an ignorant attempt at an insult that has been around for far too long and it needs to stop being used.
To begin with, singers, brass and woodwind players breathe through their mouths most of the time because it is most efficient, takes in more breath more quickly, and is part of our technique.
In addition many people with sinus and allergy issues often have to breathe through their mouths.
Equating mouth breathing with lower intelligence is just flat out stupid and beneath someone of your stature. I guarantee that most professional musicians like myself are probably smarter than most people and we don't use ignorant insults that are inaccurate and stupid! We use more accurate insults. Sometimes we get more creative, but in Hegseth's case, he's not

Of course I finally got my shit together to announce what I thought was my complete fall performance schedule the day before my boss decides to email asking me to sing the soprano solo in the Vaughan Williams for a bigass concert in three weeks LOL

In addition to regular polling I think we should start a stress index where every few months a giant random sample of Americans get their cortisol levels checked
