More Benita Valente, who left us last week: Schubert's "The Shepherd on the Rock."
In addition to the purity of her voice, Donald Wright's clarinet work is a joy, as is Rudolf Serkin on piano. All from the legendary Marlboro Music Festival
In memory of Benita Valente, who left us last Friday, a first listen to this live recording (c. 1979-83) of Mozart's "Exsultate, jubilate" with The Cleveland Orchestra and conductor James Conlon

We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

Every few years, we sign up for yet another platform just to keep in touch with our friends. Private platforms have locked users in for too long, causing a lack of innovation & competition in social media.
