With David Robertson and family in Sydney, another recent
traveler is Saint Louis Symphony Chorus director Amy
Kaiser, who just got back from the Berkshires where she saw
10 (count 'em, 10!) Elliott Carter concerts at the Festival of Contemporary
Music at Tanglewood. Now she leaps into The
Lord of the Rings Symphony, in which the chorus sings in seven languages,
five of which are fictitious.
I'll give an unofficial and incomplete list of where other
SLSO folks are for the month of August tomorrow: primarily Colorado
and Idaho at
this point, although violinist Nicolae Bica
stopped by the hall in his "Hook 'em Horns," UT-colored SLSO polo, so Nicolae
is with us in the heat.
