I discover the optimal level of alcohol consumption for listening to music. Also, how to save the world’s symphonies and opera companies.

My little unannounced blog-holiday is over. I have been lazy…but then I have also been busy, setting up more auditions that will inevitably result in kindly-phrased PFO letters printed on nice stationary. My apologies.
