What Kristi's been up to lately!
She's featured as the mezzo-soprano soloist in the Minnesota Orchestra's "Lord of the Rings" special presentation this weekend (sold out according to the Minnesota Orchestra website).
Kristi is also presenting a recital of Scandinavian songs on Tuesday Oct. 17 at 2:30 in the Lloyd Ultan Recital Hall, Ferguson Hall. This is the fourth of five recitals for her doctoral degree!

Mary's Pick of the Week...Month...Whatever!
To mark the centenary in 2006 of the birth of Elisabeth Lutyens, the
British Library has today launched an online exhibition devoted to the
composer and her music.
The British Library acquired the composer's music manuscripts in 1986, and also
holds related correspondence and sound recordings. The exhibition draws
on some of these, together with privately-owned family photographs.

MLA Midwest Chapter meeting
The Midwest Chapter of the Music Library Association met this past week at the grand Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. The Local Arrangements and Program Committees put together an excellent meeting, starting with the opening reception in which the Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra entertained us and its director (and former classmate) Paul Ruppa gave an interesting presentation about the group and the origin of mandolin orchestras. Friday's sessions were held at the newly-renovated Milwaukee Public Library, and included a panel presentations on "Library Education for the 21st Century" and "Music Libraries: Friends and Funds." The afternoon sessions included a presentation on Open WorldCat and music in public libraries. The meeting wrapped up Saturday morning with the Chapter business meeting and reference refresher, "Copyright and the Performing Arts." It was great to catch up with colleagues (especially some of my former UWM pals!) who made it to the meeting despite the huge amount of road construction in and around downtown Milwaukee!
