RIP Christoph von Dohnanyi
I remember him well from his visits to Tanglewood. Sharp wit and detailed rehearsals.

Every morning I go for a walk around our lovely neighbourhood and see this patiently rolling over someone's lawn.
It certainly doesn't cut any grass so maybe on patrol?

Rather beautiful interior of the newish Bradley Symphony Center, Milwaukee. A former movie theatre from the 1930s.

Sad to hear of the death of Pierre Audi. In fact, despite it only being taken in 1993, several people in the picture have passed. My first big overseas trip to Ned Opera in Amsterdam. RIP

Lugano. My hotel, Villa Castagnola, the kind of place you could see Hercule Poirot coming down for breakfast!

Auditions for the Fall 2025 New England Conservatory conducting class. 10 excellent candidates!

Very happy to be involved in this. Please vote if you are inclined!
