  2. Saying Goodbye To The Minnesota Sinfonia “The Minnesota Sinfonia, which has provided free concerts to underserved audiences for decades, says goodbye, along with its longtime conductor Jay Fishman.” – MinnPost
  3. How To Become A Blue Man “They must become expert drummers, learn to spit paint onto a spinning canvas, catch marshmallows, and be prepared for anything the audience might throw. Hundreds audition annually; only a handful get hired.” – WBEZ (Chicago)
