Re: Milken conference

[Ari Davidow <ari...>]

I'm hoping to untangle my notes and post them to the KlezmerShack over the 
next few days, but I think that Elliot Kahn has already written that there 
wasn't anything about Shoenberg in Babbit's panel (or nothing more than 
parenthetical comments). The talk on Bloch was very interesting, but rushed 
- caught between an overlong 2nd presentation, and the need to present a 
5pm concert as close to 5pm as possible. One consequence is that Babbit 
spoke less than one hoped, and when he spoke, it was to Jewish geography.

As Elliot has already written, that concert was a short  piece by Yehudi 
Weiner, preceded by a short talk, and some examples of some songs by his 
father. It was stunning.
