Eric Whitacre update

Hey everyone!

Two friends and I travelled to Northwestern University to see the concert version of Paradise Lost: Opera Electronica by Eric Whitacre. It was sponsored by Northwestern's innovative American Musical Theatre Project, and you can read a full press release here.

It was unbelievable. As my friends can attest, I was flying high. I cannot wait until it makes it to Broadway!!

Eric also has had great success with his new album of choral works performed by the UK choir Polyphony entitled Cloudburst, which was released on Valentine's Day. The London Times review gave it five out of five stars calling it "extraordinarily beautiful."

I should receive my copy of the CD in a few days. :)

Ciao,
meg-a-leg
