GPOYW with Benjamin Wolf Weinberger edition!
Born at 9:46pm tonight weighing 8 pounds 10 ounces. Mom and baby are doing very well, and Dad will be taking a break from blogging for the next few days.
Back in February I led the WCFSO in one of the most unforgettable evenings of art and music I’ve ever been a part of. Tonight that jazz- and blues-inspired concert, featuring music by William Grant Still, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin and J Dilla, will stream in its entirety on Iowa Public Radio [8pm EST, link is an mp3 stream]. In addition to featuring some unique programming, our performance continued a ground-breaking partnership with illustrator Gary Kelley [whose work for the show is pictured below and at my Flickr].
More photos, info about Dilla’s symphonic debut, and a download of our performance of the 1920s theater-orchestra version of Rhapsody in Blue are here.

Just gave the last [of 27] in-school presentations for the 2009-10 orchestra season EDITION
Also … Fortunate to partner with so many great educators in engaging young people through the arts EDITION
Also … Fellow music directors: This needs to be a central element of your service to the orchestras you lead, and besides what could possibly be a better use of your time? EDITION
