Whan I’m not posting my deathless prose on roedeo.com, you’re likely to find my paws all over some of the other blogsites I maintain (though some are more equal than others):
UTunes: Music 1.01 is a new collaborative effort with the University of Texas at Austin School of Music (part of the College of Fine Arts at UT) to re-imagine how we learn about music. about music in the world of the Web. In the old days we called it “Music Appreciation.” What do we call it now? Join us in the discovery. Our hub and laboratory is Austin Texas, a music destination known around the world. The UTunes project is supported by a Digital Humanities Initiative Start-Up Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The Harpers Ferry Foundation Blog is a companion to the website of the Harpers Ferry Historic Town Foundation — a nonprofit organization chartered and dedicated to “preservation, promotion and beautification of the Town of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia — a Town that inspires citizens and visitors with its history, beauty, and hospitality.” (As well as being home of the WWHQ of RoeDeo Productions. This pages are here for Foundation members, residents, and friends alike as we work on a daily basis to preserve and celebrate Harpers Ferry’s colorful past as well as to plan for its future. Some of it is highfalutin’ vision stuff, some of it is policy-wonkish, and some of it is downright mundane, but it’s all about the tiny town with the worldwide reputation that I call home.
The Chopin Project began was an ambitious live-concert-and-symposium series featuring the acclaimed piano studio of Arthur Greene at the University of Michigan’s peerless School of Music, Theatre & Dance with added support from CREES (The University of Michigan’s Center for Russian & East European Studies) and the school’s Copernicus Endowment. Now the Chopin Project has taken on a life of its own in the digital world, to become a global clearinghouse for all things Chopin. You can also find the Chopin Project group on Facebook..
The Chopin project is just the beginning of our projected projects delving into the music of some of the world’s great composers, both the famous and not so. Check out The Arthur Hartmann Project to discover more about this enigmatic American orginal, a turn-of-the-century virtuoso violinist and composer who was a friend and confident of Claude Debussy, and one of the founders of the Eastman School of Music.
The Round Top Roundtable is the beginning of a conversation about equipping the nation’s colleges and universities to train the next generation of arts leaders in this country…leading up to an important symposium at the International Festival-Institute at Round Top in August of 2008. With support from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, we’ll be engaging with some important thought-leaders in the field, in a series of panels organized by chairman Robert Freeman, the emeritus Dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at Austin.
