I'm surprised @minnorch doesn't link or put the original Hölderlin in German text in their programs - it's a wonderful opportunity to follow along with the amazing diction of the chorale and the very important germ of choral/orchestral works. Please include them!
@scifri@DrEugeniaCheng Equal temperament is not necessarily a better tuning system! Check out "How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony" for some more interesting and slightly more accurate additions to this conversation.
@Timodc Original North Dakotan here - what's the deal with the Pinto Bean grain bag from Buxton ND behind you on MSNBC interview? Very great to see! :)
@Delta Your recent changes will have a huge economic impact on performing artists. Our business travel was never extravagant, but instrumentalists needed ease of boarding and affordable travel. Being on the road sucked less when we could rely on you. Now, we can't afford it.
As a musical director. I don’t sit with professional singers making songs sound impressive, clean, detailed, and out of the ordinary in style and standard for who’s watching for anyone to sing along. If Karen from Cardiff wants to sing along. Come to rehearsal. This is not good.

@davidjohnroche More damaging are the "Professional Ensembles" that don't pay a wage to actually sustain the life of a musician. I'm often hired with musicians that have a non-musical professional life and haphazardly treat this profession like their hobby. Advocacy changes when needs change.
