Missouri Classical Music News and Notes

Holland's review, found on Monday's front page of The New York Times' "The Arts" section, said, "I can't think of a conductor who brings more interesting music on his visits to New York City than David Robertson."

Robertson, who according to Holland "found ways to keep our minds from wandering," employed a collection of clocks in introducing British composer George Benjamin's "Sudden Time." Holland wrote that the inventive use of ticking clocks "changed the way people thought about time and to a degree the way music thought about itself."
