We cancelled netflix several months back, and now that the gov. is trying to stop funding for PBS we decided to make a donation and become PBS "passport holders". So tonight I watched the 1st episode of the Moonflower Murders, and it was quite delightful!

Vancouver Opera's next production is Flight by Jonathan Dove. It is a comedy, and judging by the laughter on the live recording I have been listening to it's incredibly funny. You want to be in the audience for this one!

I intend to post many links to pieces of music by composers from historically excluded groups, as that is my passion!
I often teach pieces by Christine Donkin, but she also writes quite a bit of music for "grown-ups".
Here is her In Paradisum for choir:
