Memphis in Lisbon?

It is now more than two weeks since our Memphis readings and almost everyday I receive an email from someone that was part of that incredible experience!

Now in Lisbon, I met with my fellow-Memphis-colleague Patrício da Silva for a dinner the other day. Have to say, I started missing the group! So, I came back to the blog and read all the notes from all of us. And then I realized something was missing from my entry!!!
I did not say goodbye to Linda Golding and (my fault) the names of Michael Geller and John Glover were not present on my previous entry...SORRYYYYYY!!! (I thought I had put them there...)

So, dear Michael Geller, John Glover and Linda Golding, I send you a big THANK YOU for all your support and very kind words! It was a pleasure to meet you.

From Lisbon with love,
Andreia Pinto-Correia

EarShot readings - behind the scenes with four emerging composers

Today begins the first day of the EarShot / Memphis Symphony New Music readings. Selected from a pool of hundreds of submissions, four emerging composers (Jean Ahn, Christian Baldini, Andreia Pinto-Correia, and Patricio DaSilva) have been selected to participate in an intensive two-day reading session with the Memphis Symphony and its music director David Loebel. Mentor composers Michael Gandolfi and Melinda Wagner will provide insight and guidance to the young composers. Check in here to get a behind-the-scenes view of what's on the participants minds as they live through the process of hearing their works realized.
