Dr. Carter, Chair of the Department of Music, emailed me a link to a New York Times article from this weekend about Caleb Burhans, a graduate from the Eastman School of Music who a very talented musician with skill in many areas… and he is pursuing all of them. Its a great article and I recommend reading it. It addresses the growing trend by younger musicians to not pick just one specific area to specialize in, but to be versed in a number of areas. You can read the article here.

Here are a couple pictures from the Webster University Symphony Orchestra’s first rehearsal for the upcoming performance of Mozart’s 41st Symphony and Brahms’ Piano Concert No. 2 on Oct. 19th. Just like in the professional world, there are a limited number of rehearsals for a performance… in fact there are only four rehearsals for each Symphony concert: one for the string sections and three as an entire orchestra.
