Fantastic new piece by my former student, Gabriel Bouche Caro, beautifully performed by the Telos Consort.

Hot off the presses, new double CD of Michael Finnissyβs pieces for clarinet solo, and for clarinet and piano, and a little bonus just for piano because why not. Title is Runninβ Wild, cover photo is Eadweard Muybridgeβs Running at Full Speed, an βElectro-Photographic Investigation of Consecutive Phases of Animal Movementβ, the animal in this case being a chap who seems to have just remembered where he left his clothes and wishes to be reunited with them post haste.
Well hello there!
As NYU faculty, do you support the university withholding the diploma of Logan Rozos who spoke out about Israel's killing of over 46,000 Palestinians in Gaza?
@heathersae.bsky.social can cook up quite a spread....
Congratulations, @staciebgreene.bsky.social !

My ex wife had perfect pitch for piano only.
When Marilyn Crispell lives nearby, she might just drop in to the local library one afternoon and perform a couple of improvisations.
Score!
I witnessed a bullfight in Mexico when I was a child. Then, as now, I felt it was gory, stupid, and incredibly cruel. This darkly inhumane practice must be banished everywhere.
One of the most virtuosic shots in cinema.

Two years ago the sweetest boy came home with us. I have so much love for this big man.

Barring NYU law students from sitting for exams unless they agree not to engage in "protest activity"? This seems antithetical to the intellectual freedom that universities are supposed to cherish. Curious about your thoughts as a member of the NYU faculty. #AskPreet theintercept.com/2025/05/03/n...

Letter of termination for our grant, reading βThe NEA is updating its grantmaking policy priorities to focus funding on projects that reflect the nation's rich artistic heritage and creativity as prioritized by the President. Consequently, we are terminating awards that fall outside these new priorities. The NEA will now prioritize projects that elevate the Nationβs HBCUs and Hispanic Serving Institutions, celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, foster AI competency, empower houses of worship to serve communities, assist with disaster recovery, foster skilled trade jobs, make America healthy again, support the military and veterans, support Tribal communities, make the District of Columbia safe and beautiful, and support the economic development of Asian American communities. Funding is being allocated in a new direction in furtherance of the Administrationβs agenda. Your project, as noted below, unfortunately does not align with these priorities: Purpose: To support musical performances and production of New Amsterdam's Project Series.β
Well, I assumed something like this was coming but it still really really sucks: NewAm had its NEA grant terminated because it no longer aligns with agency priorities.
Looks like he wants to disband the NEA anyway, so maybe itβs irrelevant. But I donβt know what weβre going to do. We count on this.

Awful. And you predicted, the NEA will be eliminated if the White House has anything to do with it. I truly hope NA can find its footing among these philistine cuts. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/a...
I was already sold by now it's on the top of my list!
That book is on my list! I share my life with a great dane so it's also a bit personal....
Apollo needs a home! He is a mushy, sweet boy that deserves a loving family. The sanctuary where he is living is closing and time is of the essence. Please open your heart to him. More info here: www.waywardranch.org/apollo
Thanks - this is helpful.
Updates in Dorico 6 don't look too substantial. Am I missing something?

I believe he is at least 1000 years old.
