@playinglesshurt Love her expressive hands, clearly playing something related to their conversation!

The great French pedagogue, composer, conductor, organist and pianist Nadia Boulanger born #otd in 1887. Her influence is immeasurable having taught and influenced many 20th century artists from Copland to Quincey Jones, Carter to Piazzolla. 1st woman to conduct major orchestras

I'm very honored to have been elected for a 3-year term to the International Trombone Federation's Board of Advisors, along with a great slate of new board members, many of us women! trombone.net/2023-officers-…

Some nice coverage of the Virtual Orchestra project with the conducting class, using HP’s latest VR technology!

Pelosi’s response to hearing Trump might march to the Capitol is definitely worth watching

Lydia's fount of knowledge on Dolly Parton continues to run! I'd hate to see that piano, tho –

I'm so thrilled that my book, UNLIKELY ANGEL: THE SONGS OF DOLLY PARTON, is out! Dolly spoke to me about the music she heard growing up, her songs, and her creative process. Here's a promo code: F20UIP go.illinois.edu/F20Hamessley @DollyParton @PartonNews #dollyparton

Starting the school year with a deconstructed Hamilton College Orchestra! Grieg Holberg Suite, with extra space – figuring it out.

Lydia's book on Dolly Parton's music, after 10 years coming out in October, will be amazing! What sets this book apart is the focus on the music, rooted in Dolly's Appalachian origins, and tracing the development of a remarkable musician and person. You can preorder it now.

Loved talking w WCNY host Diane @ComposerJones on music for calm/uplift in uncertain times – our convo airs 12p today, will be posted @ this link. My list – Brian Eno, Bach, Pärt, Couperin, Max Richter, Sibelius. Enjoy, more importantly make your own list! bit.ly/wcnycc

'At this moment the conductors of this human orchestra have only the meanest, most banal melodies in mind. Those of us who remember a finer music must try now to play it, and encourage others, if we can, to sing along.' (2 of 2) @brainpickings Zadie Smith

'Individuals are like complex musical scores from which certain melodies can be teased out and others suppressed, depending, in part, on who is conducting.' (1 of 2) @brainpickings Brainpickings bit.ly/2xLdhqB

Sicily has figured out this whole self-isolation thing. #COVID19 #CoronavirusPandemic

So much to learn about while exploring the world virtually! This sound art space in San Francisco has been running since the 1960's. To consider – how people are seeking out more inward-looking, reflective experiences through sound. nyti.ms/38QiWsC

Montreal at its best! At least a foot of snow. But, all the underground walkways. instagram.com/p/B8SIGcRAVAq/…

The alto trombone hat mute, Montreal edition, really works! And an accidental lunch find for a brisk snowy day – an excellent ramen place with bar! @ Montreal, Quebec instagram.com/p/B8Pm7_gAceK/…

Lovely Piece in Slate by @Michelle_Herman captures so much about studying ballet as an older adult; the poise and balance we continually work on, the joy of doing mental work with one's body, elevation of everydayness, and that it's fun *because it's hard! bit.ly/31jVLoa

Super cool show on data visualization going up in the @wellinmuseum – February 16-June 14 @ Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College instagram.com/p/B7jv6rhA_EH/…
