Korngold was just 15 when he completed his Sinfonietta, an impressive four movement work that was premiered by Weingartner and the Vienna Philharmonic in 1913. Had a lot of pleasure reviewing this new recording by Sascha Goetzel for the November issue of Gramophone.

Good *public* art schools — Temple's Tyler, Hunter College, Purchase, Michigan's Stamps, Rutgers's Mason Gross, Ohio, etc — are such a treasure.
"Tyler plans to move all of its graduate programs in the architecture and built environment disciplines to Terra Hall. That includes architecture, landscape architecture, city and regional planning, and facilities management and historic preservation." Right by our old house. I'm happy to see this 🤗
Temple plans to fill the gap left by UArts with their new Center City campus
Temple purchased Terra Hall, which was the main academic building for the now-closed University of the Arts. It will become Temple's Center City campus.

To understand what was at stake here: in VA, the AG gets to appoint university counsel. From Jim Ryan’s forced resignation to the (mercifully) reject “Compact” to the odious and bizarre “settlement,” UVA has been hamstrung by counsel chosen by the state’s GOP administration. That’s about to change.

It looks probable that there are fatalities on the ground. This crash didn't happen on a runway. It trailed to the edge of the airport and likely further into the streets. Reports of damage to nearby businesses and homes.

Governor Andy Beshear confirms businesses outside of the airport were hit, including a petroleum recycling plant.
Some businesses have unaccounted-for employees and can't say how many customers were on the premises. He says there are likely ground fatalities, in addition to the 3 crew members.
