Having an amazing time in Minot, ND, doing the Bartered Bride with the Western Plains Opera. An amazing cast and wonderful people to work with from the pit to the director, Jerry Dolter. Bravos all around.

“The house is not as big, but the backyard is just as beautiful”. - Herbert Blomstedt talking about Sibelius’s 3rd and 6th symphonies in comparison to the better known 2nd and 5th. He told me this backstage after a CSO concert once. How refreshing it was to meet someone who wasn’t afraid to show open affection for his music.

I’d been waiting to conduct this piece my whole life, and I’m so happy that I was able to perform it with Edward Auer my first time. What an amazing musician and an even better person. Bravo, Edward!
