Another panel

This coming Thursday, March 23, I’ll be speaking on a small panel

about the future of classical music. 6:30 PM, at the

class=SpellE>Dahesh

class=GramE> Museum,

580 Madison Avenue,

in New York.

One reason this will be fun for me — I get all of five minutes to state my position. There’s nothing like brevity to focus my thoughts; this should be a big help in organizing my ideas for my book. Composer Stefania de Kenessey

will moderate, and my co-panelists will be the very lively composer Paul Moravec, winner

of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize in music, and two people I don’t knokw, composer/pianist

David Ramsden Homan, executive director of the

America-Israel Cultural Foundation, and Kenneth Hamrick, conductor and artistic

director of the American Virtuosi Baroque Chamber Orchestra. There’ll be a

short reception after the event; tickets are $10 (students $6).
