Last February, St. Louis magazine editor Jeannette Batz Cooperman got a backstage-eye view of a concert that included feature performers David Robertson, Christine Brewer, and the Saint Louis Symphony Chorus. The program was titled “Mourning,” and included Gyorgy Kurtag’s Stele and Mozart’s Requiem.
Jeannette’s sketch of what she experienced -- Mike Lynch as “lanky as John Cleese,” viola jokes, and the reason why David’s first marriage didn’t last – appears at www.stlmag.com. Click on the lead story “Behind the Curtain” and scroll down to “Musical Chairs.”
