im trying to hide the humiliation.
Actually, Dr. Philip Gossett was to do a seminar this afternoon on “Attila” at NYU’s Casa Italiana and it was canceled. This was “due to the harsh weather conditions that have forced NYU to shut down all of its non-essential activities.” Not that La Cieca is a non-essential activity to us, but NYU might think differently.
The organizer of the symposium contacted me this am, saying, basically, let’s go for it. Hope to see a few of you there!
Are we to gather from this bulletin that La Cieca acts as agent for J.J. in the scholarly branches of his activites? This would of course stand to reason, given the great respect for the work of Our Doyenne found in the upper reaches of the académie dorée.
I’m sorry I can’t make it but I hope the audio or video will be archived on the Web.
I 2nd that. I can’t possibly be there, so JJ should have La Cieca there to record it so she can upload it to the blog.
i received some email recently from CUNY about some forum/lecture by lauren flanigan on monodramas. anyone see that?
and did anyone go to borodina last night?
