SF Symphony Chorus Director Visits

Our most recent visitor to the Stanley Music Department was Ragnar Bohlin, newly appointed Dirctor of Chorus for the San Francisco Symphony. His visit was arranged by Miss Xiomara DiMaio (an LASF mentor who sings with the SF Symphony Chorus). Mr. Bohlin visited Concert Gold and I asked him to conduct the piece they recently performed at the Spring Concert: Mars. Mr. Bohlin gave the band great insight into the music, even though he had never seen the score. He also gave me some wonderful pointers on conducting and interpretation.

I am constantly amazed and pleasantly surprised by the renowned people who come to our department on their own time to share their knowledge and love of music with our students. I surely appreciate it. My hope is that the students do also!
