Still Here

Hi readers (all five of you?),

I'm still around. Sorry I haven't blogged much. I meant to cover the monthlong CSO-Boulez 85th birthday bash, all of which I of course attended, as well as a few more CSO concerts, but never got around to it. I have a brand new beautiful baby boy, who is naturally far more interesting to me than blogging at the moment. So please forgive if I go on a hiatus now. I'm not sure if and when I will be in a position to continue the blog. I will be going to hear Morlot return to the CSO this Saturday and encourage you to go as well, if you're in the Chicago area. When else will you get a chance to hear Martinu's Frescoes of Piero della Francesca live and with such competent podium leadership? I may catch some of Haitink's valedictory CSO Beethoven cycle as well next month, but don't know if I'll have time to write about either one...
