As the culture war enters chapter two of the Bush years, the media and America's short attention span is freed from election coverage and returns to its regularly scheduled programming. This brief respite from politics is talked about as a time of contrition, compromise and careful reflection as we […]

Probably the most valuable and molding period of our life, these four years of college are going to go a long way in shaping our future. These years, filled with experiences, both good and bad, times of laughter and some of tears, will rush by as we surge forward on the journey to adulthood, and […]

The Eastman School of Music was honored to have Nuria Schoenberg Nono, Arnold Schoenberg's daughter, as well as Stefan Litwin, an accomplished pianist, to present a lecture-recital for him about his lifetime and career as a musician on Nov. 20. Nuria Schoebberg was born in Barcelona, Spain on May 7, 1932. In 1933, the Schoenberg […]

I give Christopher Seaman credit. This past weekend, he led the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in an all-Mozart program. Risky. Because how do you take something as well-known as Mozart's Jupiter Symphony and make it new to an audience?
