I am also astounded by the hard work, dedication and far-thinking approach of my colleague (and, full disclosure) dear friend Bob Wood.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m excited to tell you that UrbanArias recently had a feature article on Playbill.com!  It&#8217;s about our upcoming premiere, Positions 1956 by Michael Korie and Conrad Cummings.  Have a look!  It&#8217;s a perfect premiere for us:  somewhat subversive and boundary-pushing, but still tasteful.  Have a look: click here.

I&#8217;m headed to New York for a quick visit, meeting with composers, singers, and directors; there are just a few more pieces of the puzzle to put into place, and after this weekend, our plans for Festival 2012 should be solidified.

I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s already been four months since our April Festival!  
I was really pleased at how it turned out &#8212; it&#8217;s impossible to know the first time if everything will come together, and it certainly did.
I felt our artistic work was on a very high level (and the [...]]]></description>
