Blaine Littell Collection of Walter Damrosch Memorabilia / Carnegie Hall Archives Cellist Pablo Casals, violinist Fritz Kreisler, pianist Harold Bauer and conductor Walter Damrosch in 1904 {via NPR} What's better than great artists and musicians? Artists/musicians/generally awesome people hanging out together (and the more bizarre, the better)! This coming Monday, tune in for an interactive conversation with young composers Gabriel Kahane and Timothy Andres over at WQXR's new music central: Q2. It's graduation season! Here are a few words of advice from John Adams (to Juilliard) and Steve Jobs (to Stanford). Do you have Fear Of Failure? Milton Glaser - the man who designed the famous "I Love NY" graphic - has a few words on that topic. Know someone who wants to explore more "classical" music? Tell them to check out what happens when classical meets rock. It's time (or nearly time) for class to be out! What are you going to fill your days with? How about catching up on some listening? Alex Ross, of the New Yorker, has some recommends that should keep you busy for a while. Did you hear about the new album The National Mall that you can only hear if you are standing on the National Mall in Washington, DC? Opera Memphis has launched a campaign to get Justin Timberlake to perform in their production of Die Fledermaus...well...seeing as he has a pretty rad Mozart impression... They like us! They really like us! (Thank you, Mr. von Rhein and Ms. Wright-Pryor!)
