Three weeks ago, the #EatonFire was blazing its now infamous paths of destruction, including melting some of the transmission lines for the #KUSC transmitter tower on Mt. Harvard.
This morning, here's the view from our tower.

3️⃣ things are true re social media protocols in SoCal:
1️⃣. It’s almost always fireworks, not gunshots, don’t post about it. 🎆🔫
2️⃣. You MUST post about an earthquake even if you didn’t feel it. 📈📉
3️⃣. Certain days you are required to either screenshot your weather app or photograph your dashboard. 🥵🌡️

Oh hi, classical music. Meet me at Camera 3. We don’t have to do this. TS is great and so is Lise Davidsen. One is not “the answer” to the other and one is not better than the other. We could just not with this nonsense and call it a day I am just saying.

The giddiness you see on my face is the fact that I’m literally sitting on Vikingur Ólafsson’s bench where, in a few minutes, he’s gonna play the Goldberg Variations. Bach is everything. 🤩🎹🇮🇸

Hi friends, I'm selling my cello: 1998 David Mahov from the workshop of Michael Goronok. A warm + lovely sound perfect for early career + pre-prof orch/chamber/solo musicians. Has been played in perfs in Carnegie Hall and with orch and opera companies across the US. DMs open.

A year+ ago, when the LA Phil announced its 2023-24 season, this was the first concert I circled. It did not disappoint: Victor Wooten playing his electric bass concerto with Thomas Wilkins conducting. Bernstein WSS and Sam Coleridge-Taylor to boot. Awesomeness all around. 🎸🎶
