New realities

Wednesday, 25 March 2020 by Ina Litera
I gave my now remote college classes a short writing assignment. It was all about what music they are listening to in this time of stress.  I decided I would post a contribute too, and so I wrote this: It’s been about a little over a week since the college closed and moved to remote

Fall Recap 1

Monday, 02 December 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
My first day back teaching college after our trip to Cuba, a student asked me if I had a good vacation.  I was…not pleased, to say the least. But, I took a deep breathe and explained that playing three concerts in six days is not a vacation,  nor would Professors miss a week of class in

Thursday, 06 June 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
Spring is popping up all over… or in our case, 8SW is popping up, which is definitely better then pooping out. Over the last season and a bit, we have had two Pop Up concerts, and we’re doing it again to celebrate the end of our 2018-19 season. The Pop Up concerts happen in a

Evolution

Wednesday, 24 April 2019 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
Welcome to our revamped website! Having a website that functions on every conceivable platform is a necessity today.  But as we launch this one, it has give me a chance to think back.  When we came together 20 years ago (or is it 21? 19?) the thought of needing a website didn’t exist.  Our first

The 21st Century Music Ecosystem

Friday, 24 February 2017 by Eight Strings & a Whistle
It’s a tough time to be a classical musician.
