Our Town

The New York Times covered little old Bloomington in today's edition! IU premiered "Our Town," a new opera by Ned Rorem based on the play by Thornton Wilder, and the NY Times reviewed it. You can read the review by clicking here.

In conducting class this morning, Chuck got to conduct Beethoven 4 for their guest Mario Venzago, the conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. I talked to Chuck briefly and he said he was really pleased with how he conducted. He also just found out that he was accepted in to a conducting masterclass this summer with David Hoose (orchestra director at Boston University). So he will be in Portland, Oregon, for four days this June.
