It's not [classial] music related but I wanted to mention it anyway. The Writer's Strike ended last night and what a wonderful example of compromise. Although it took a three and a half month strike, the WGA didn't get violent or stubborn and the Motion Pictures didn't either (finally House and The Office will be back on).
For celebration, here's fast rising tenor Stephen Costello (2007 graduate of Academy of Vocal Arts Philadelphia) as Rodolfo.

Events this week 02-11-08
From University of Indianapolis: "Faculty flutist Anne Reynolds teams with faculty and guest performers in music of Andre Jolivet (the virtuoso tour-de-force “Chant de Linos”) and Erwin Schulhoff (his 1925 Concertino for flute, viola, and double bass). The program concludes with Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s exhilarating Septet, Op. 74."
From IUPUI: Faculty Recital featuring Steven Kent Murphy on the piano. "Steven Kent Murphy is an adjunct music professor at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis School of Music. Steve is also a composer and performer living in Indianapolis. He works for the Indianapolis Public Schools as a performer and composer and is a vocal coach locally for many singers."
ISO: This weekend the ISO is performing Mendelssohn's violin concerto. I incorrectly posted this as happening last weekend. From the ISO site "British sensation Jack Liebeck visits Indy for the first time to perform Mendelssohn’s alluring Violin Concerto. Douglas Boyd will bring the romantic story of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique to life in a compelling performance of this orchestral tour de force."
More later, if I find anything.
