Back to School!
The Chorus School and rehearsals have started up again for the 2009-2010 season. This week we will have successive “Back to Chorus” nights for all our families on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Summer Magic
Summer has always been a magical season for me. As a child it meant a long break from school, and was usually kicked off by a pre-dawn car load-out for family road trips.

He is part of an interesting microcosm on our block that includes a Greek flute maker, an early music cellist/gamba player, a ship builder, and Giorgio, a carpenter from Italy who restores amazing antiques for private collections and museums.

Comfort and Loss
I lost two dear friends last month. They were friends from another chapter in my life, when I lived and worked in New York more than a decade ago. They were boon companions to so many adventures, and I truly loved them. Both died of cancer in the lungs, and spent their final days in the same hospice in the Bronx.
