2006 Salzburg Festival – Opera on DVD

In 2006, the Salzburg Festival marked the 250th anniversary of Mozart’s birth by featuring performances of all of the composer’s operas. Deutsche Grammophon has released this unique set of opera performances on DVD. From Apollo et Hyacinthus to Die Zauberflöte, each DVD includes program notes in English, French and German as well as a bonus material (e.g. Making of the production).

“The Quest for Management”

The October 2007 issue of CMA Matters, the newsletter of Chamber Music America, features an article by Robert Besen on artist management. Besen describes how he responds to inquiries from artists regarding management, the nature of the relationship between the artist/ensemble and manager, and describes in detail what a contract encompasses. A great read for any artist or ensemble interested in being represented.

You’ll find it in the Reading Area of the Robinson Music Library under Chamber Music. It will eventually be archived online.

Open House

On Sunday, November 11th, the Robinson Music Library will host an open house as a part of the Fanfare for a New Era celebration. The library will be open for tours from 1:30 to 5 pm. Library staff will be present to give tours and answer questions about the library. The Media Center will be showcasing its collection & technology. We’ve also put together a digital photo album that chronicles the library’s renovation titled “Then & Now.” This presentation will be on display in a group listening room.

If you have not had the opportunity to see our new library, please take this opportunity to visit.
