Members of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra go to the mall:
It makes my heart happy to see stuff like this. I don’t know if it hits other people that way or not. But it just does that for me.
Aw c’mon, flutists, you can take a joke, right?
That hair is great, don’tcha think?

Mr. Goldsmith conducted his music with the San Jose Symphony some years ago. I really enjoyed him and and his music.
I’ve not heard of the composer Sergei Taneyev (1856-1915), much less this work, St. John of Damascus.
about to blow a fuse courtesy of the dmv. on a side note – i just listened to the worst on hold music ever. it was like “now that’s what i call oboe 11”

Actress Kate Burton and opera star Renee Fleming are to appear on the U.S. crime drama “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” NBC said.
Reality TV personality LuAnn De Lesseps is also to guest-star on the episode, scheduled to air next month.
Burton will play a high-powered executive whose business partner is killed, while De Lesseps plays a socialite who makes a gruesome discovery, and Fleming makes a special voice-over cameo as the opera-singing mother of a suspect, the network said in a news release Thursday.

I read the above quote, and more, here.

This is her final performance at the Met. The recording is noisy, but well worth the listen!
Did you notice how long the applause went on at the end? Everyone knew what they were hearing, and what they would be missing.
… because it’s just too bizarre, and I’m guessing it might go viral and I want to jump on the virus train too (warning not the most pleasant of sounds!):
I haven’t a clue what is going on here (I’m a computer idiot) and before you decide to comment and explain it to me please know I also don’t really even care. But if you care maybe this helps explain it all? Dunno!
This dude on the shuttle thinks that an oboe and a guitar are the same type of instrument…
