This week: Ithaca

Where in the world am I now?

I’m in Ithaca this weekend for the NY Area All-State Band (Zone 3). I was very excited to be invited, especially so to be in Ithaca where Mr. Husa lived and worked for so many years as a professor at Cornell and visiting professor at Ithaca College. I was looking forward to visiting the Husa Archives (housed at Ithaca College), only to learn that they were recently moved to Rochester, to the Eastman School of Music. No one here seems to know why. It’s very disappointing — so close to Mr. Husa and yet so far.

Rehearsal at TMH on Monday confirmed

We received confirmation from the Music Hall that Monday’s rehearsal will be at the Music Hall. The schedule is posted. Don & Keith will be back for their second rehearsal each. Kelly will review the endings of his movements, to make sure everyone is aligned with the intended interpretation. And we get one more pass at the four movements of Prague before Saturday’s dress rehearsal. All of a sudden — here we are!

After the concert: please note that there are no rehearsals on February 12 nor 19. We reconvene to start the Spring cycle on February 26.

Keep the faith — we’re almost there — keep practicing! See you Monday!
