For the record, the Kennedy Center was profitable before 2025. Like all buildings, it needs upkeep. But it is not, and never has been, a danger to the public. I am extremely worried that the building will be demolished just to satisfy one man's vanity. I never thought I'd see this America.

Southern Exposure concert featuring amazing performers Nadia Sirota & Gabriel Cabezas performing Donnacha Dennehy's luminous "Tessallatum." I'm proud to have started the series 25 years ago, and gratified it's still going strong directed by my friends and colleagues Michael Harley and David Garner.

Yesterday, I heard the premieres of terrific new works by Mary Kouyoumdjian and Stephen Jaffe, commissioned by my friends and colleagues, Jennifer Parker-Harley (flute) and Mike Harley (bassoon). If you're a flutist or bassoonist looking for new repertoire, reach out to them at the University of SC!
