Thank you all for your individual and combined contributions which made Sunday’s concert at Caramoor so memorable for the audience, for the Caramoor administration, and for each other. You played beautifully and musically with a high level of excitement — notwithstanding that it was on an uncomfortably hot and humid stage. If you have photos to share, Eric has created this Google Drive photo folder for sharing photos specifically from Caramoor 2023.

This week I received the audio recording from World Projects from our Carnegie Hall performance. It’s very important that everyone realize that this recording may be used for review/archival purposes only (this includes applications for grants and competitions) and cannot be shared on social media, including Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, etc. So listen and enjoy, but please do not post or share! You can find the recording in this folder.

Much like last November’s saxophone ensemble, we’re putting together an invitational double reed ensemble for this coming November. If you have WSW-level players to recommend for the invitation list (oboes, English horns, bassoons, contrabassoons), please send me their names, instrument(s), and email addresses.

This was truly a watershed season. I’ll be announcing the rep for the 2023-2024 season in August. Enjoy the summer!
