I've been revisiting Alex Ross's great The Rest Is Noise, and it makes me think: I want someone to write a book on 20th century female composers. You could call it The Rest Is Boys: Listening to Twentieth Century Women. Perchance?
Andris Nelsons led an incredible concert on Thursday (9/26) featuring BSO Principal Clarinet Willam R. Hudgins with special appearances from composers Sarah Kirkland Snider and Carlos Simon. Don't miss the final concert tonight (9/28)!

@artsongsteve@MWilsonKimber@NHBellows@oregonbachfest Thanks so much for these kind words about the piece, Steve. If ever someone was to write about the Mass, I'd hope they'd do it half as thoughtfully as I imagine you would! <3
