Subj: [kl] Status update on my son
Date: Sun, 12 Feb 2012 18:50:32 -0500

As some of you old-timers know, I got involved with this list by asking a few questions to help my son out when he was in middle school, some few years back (like the end of 1995 ... I have no idea where the time went!)

In that intervening time he went to Interlochen for clarinet, got his Bachelors degree in clarinet performance at Cleveland Institute for Music, moved to Japan to teach & perform, got interested in conducting, got his Masters degree at the Tokyo Gedai in conducting, and decided to pursue conducting as a career. He's been working his way along, working with and conducting various regional orchestras and opera companies, and is principal conductor of one of these, the Edogawa Orchestra in Tokyo.

This coming week is his first big-time conducting gig. He'll be conducting the Tokyo Philharmonic on a regional tour in Shizuoka, Japan on Tuesday-Thursday of this coming week. He's worked hard, and I'm pretty proud of him.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
