@KevinWNg @DavidGordonDuke @VancouverSun @UBCSO @UBC_Music We did! It was the first symphony I conducted at UBC. We were supposed to perform it in April 2020 so I thought it would be to pick up where we left off returning to live performance. Hope you are well!

I guess we will know the moment the president concedes the election the moment he pardons himself.

How is it ok that the US president cannot denounce white supremacists and instead tells them to “standby”? This is truly abhorrent and an all time new low. This rhetoric is downright dangerous and anyone who has a voice must condemn it immediately.
