I don't know if any of them is/are on this platform, but the five composers whose new (and some old) pieces I heard during the Music From Japan concerts the past two days were all very good. I actually knew three of them from before, but it was great to meet the two new faces.

Great. Having never heard him speak English, I was struck by the lucidity and crystalline phrases he spoke with. He answered all the questions so patiently and thoughtfully. There was this no-nonsense honesty to his compositional process, and it was so touching to hear the exchanges.

Driving yesterday to the south of the state reminded me of the years we worked at the same institution together. Who knows what will happen when more and more democrats are increasingly disillusioned by all that is happening? Even my relatives are sounding gravely disappointed and that’s a huge 🚩
