Cool. Very creative. Strings should do a story on him.
crazy, innovative
my friend laura just showed this to me for the first time today! it's incredible. stocco has such an innovative approach to sound design.
More like a loose-knit nationwide confederation of venues that program classical music in a cafe or bar setting. It's pretty
ad hoc
Here's the article link:

What exactly is a revolution cafe? A place specifically opened with performers in mind?

A Challenge to Musicians
Great interview with the always outspoken conductor and composer Pierre Boulez in today's New York Times.
Still a mighty advocate for contemporary music, he throws down this challenge to musicians (and programmers):
“Performers aren’t audacious enough today,” Mr. Boulez also told me. “They think audiences won’t respond to what’s unfamiliar. But to provoke — in the good sense — is the performer’s role. It’s not just to give one more concert.”
“That’s not culture,” he said. “That’s marke… Continue

- Hi Greg,
I've been meaning to email you/your editors for years to tell you how much I LOVE your magazine. I play violin in my own wedding quartet and am a non-union community player, but had become a bit tired of the same music experiences. Thanks to Strings, I've been attending the O'Connor Fiddlecamps for the past five years trying to learn jazz and dabbling with other styles. I also book chamber groups for a local concert series, so all the news you report is relevant to me. Plus, I'm a bit of a geek, so I have to know the newest electronics, gear, sheet music, and concerts. I recommend your magazine to all my string friends!

Ann Marie Cordial said… - Yea Greg, it IS a Luis & Clark. I absolutely LOVE it. The adjustment was strange at first, because the instrument is so lightweight. Changing positions is harder because of the lightness, and if you are not careful, the instrument will 'jump'. As far as tone, it is beautiful, and has exceptional projection.
I first saw the ad for the violin in the STRINGS magazine. After 2 years of owning the violin, I now am the proud owner of a Luis and Clark viola. It is every bit as wonderful as the violin. In fact, when I practice with it @ work, folks will tell me,"I heard you playing the cello on your lunch break."
After owning these two instruments, I doubt I would ever go back to wood again.

- Hey Greg! I remember meeting you at ASTA. Thanks for writing. I've done a lot in the past two years. I played lots of festivals in the US and did an 8 city tour of Hungary for which I received an award from the American Embassy. Last November, I played three nights with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at Rose Hall for their Nursery Song Swing series. I'm gigging and now also studying film scoring with some of the faculty at NYU. Apparently, a lot of big film scorers had their start in jazz (John Williams for one).

- That is so true about Montreal's music scene! You have really so many choices in a week in terms of concerts ranging from symphony orchestras to smaller ensembles and they are top notch. As for amateur ensembles, they are also pretty active. I consider myself very lucky being in this city. Since I play with amateur orchestras, I go less to concerts but I have my regular annual subscriptions and still enjoy the concerts.
