Choralation: June 2005
http://choralation.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
Thoughts on choirs, singing and anything else that comes into my head. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Posted by SJZ @ 14:24. Tuesday, June 28, 2005. What’s going on here? It’s one thing to be a conservatory giving young singers a chance to learn roles while educating kids about opera. It’s another to be an institution seen as the mantle of opera in the United States trying to make a buck. I guess the important question to ask is How far will this go? What’s next, a Forty-minute ‘Figaro’? Posted by SJZ @ 13:53.

Thoughts on choirs, singing and anything else that comes into my head. Monday, January 30, 2006. It was a good eventful week around here:. Posted by SJZ @ 05:39. Sunday, January 22, 2006. Posted by SJZ @ 15:48. Thursday, January 19, 2006. With a name like Esa-Pekka Salonen, it has to be good. Allan Kozinn on Esa-Pekka Salonen in Sunday's New York Times. This seems to be a trend lately, classical musicians really getting into Radiohead and Bjork. And why not? Posted by SJZ @ 16:35. Monday, January 16, 2006.
