Thanks for your comment. The experience blogging was great, I would do it again. Only drawback is that we were in a soundproof room away from the main concert hall (like a baby’s crying room) and the music was piped in through speakers. So we didn’t get the full on experience of the BIG symphony sound.

Recently, I was interviewing for an Executive Director position with an orchestra and in my interview I brought up the subject of blogging. I had read that the San Fransico Symphony had organized a “Bloggers Night” in an attempt to spread awareness of the orchestra. I read one of the blogs and I was intrigued. I have to say that I’m not a blogging or Face Book enthusiast but I want to learn more about how these forms of communication are effecting how an audience relates to and experiences orchestral music. If you have a moment I would be interested in your thoughts on the ESO blogging experience.

On a different topic; Your comment on not watching TV hit a nerve. For a long time I didn’t watch much TV, just too busy. But lately, I have been bemoaning the fact that there is very little worth watching, not busy enough I guess. Time to change that.

I loved the picture of the old lady, each wrinkle spoke of a thousand experiences.
