How could I not recommend the fabulous books Kyle and Alex spoke about while they were here?
And of course I have to sneak Bill’s in, too, especially since he talks about the Cathedral Band in Virtual Music
Well, that was the first time I’ve watched the Colbert Report and thought, “Hey, I was in the same room with that dude 48 hours ago!”. Nice one, Mr. Ross.

A really great forum for discussion about shows at On the Boards; people are providing some really thoughtful and intelligent feedback.

Oh also - Alex Ross mentioned on his blog today that he’d be appearing on the Colbert Report this evening. Cool!

For those of you in Seattle who are interested in learning a little more about the group I traveled to Australia with this summer, we are performing on Saturday night at On the Boards.
As a part of this weekend’s ambitious Icebreaker IV: The American Future festival, the adventurous local ensemble Seattle Chamber Players have invited my group The Cathedral Band to collaborate with them on a ½ hour piece. This is not quite on the scale of our huge multimedia community undertaking in Brisbane, but should be a very pleasant evening of music.

(lectures and workshops during the day, then our concert on the OTB mainstage, part of an evening of really cool premiers all commissioned by the local chamber group.)
