Newman in the Hizzie

Jonathan Newman is in Chicago for the next four days, staying at our place. He's in town for the CYSO's world premiere of his orchestral work, Metropolitan. You can learn more about this piece if you CLICK HERE.

Quite coincidentally, my friend Jim Trompeter (who I've mentioned before once or twice) is playing this weekend at Chicago's premiere jazz club, the former Al Capone speakeasy The Green Mill...

And to top it off, Eric Whitacre is in Evanston (a nearby suburb of Chicago), presumably making plans for the upcoming performances of Paradise Lost at Northwestern University...

Plans have been made to converge... festivities will commence... photos are highly likely...
