Donald's
Seven Responses Blog
Last September, Donald ventured into unknown territory - he started writing a blog. He wrote about Seven Responses - about our composers; their librettos; their music; about how  7R plays into his everyday life; about the weather in Chicago; his teaching; his fear; his joy; about the experience of exploring the intricate beauty of the hand of a partner, lover, or friend; or sometimes just about the waves on Lake Michigan. All of it becomes a part of Seven Responses - in one way or another - landmarks along the path to our ultimate destination.  Click here to read.

Who is  7R ?
In the month leading up to Seven Responses, we have offered brief profiles of the many thoughtful and imaginative artists who have created 7R. We use their own words, and ours, to explore a little about the 'who' and the 'why' of the composers and authors who have penned 7R.  Click here to read.

A lot happens in a year, too much to fit into a single email. Everything above and more can be found on the microsite we created for this project at the beginning of the season -  sevenresponses.com.  There you can read more in-depth studies of our composers, hear some of them speak, and read the librettos they have set; you can also read Donald's blog from the beginning, and get all the information you need about attending. And it isn't finished yet! The site will continue to be updated as we prepare to bring  Seven Responses  to New York in August for the Mostly Mozart Festival! Keep coming back, checking in, and exploring this massive project with us! Thank you for being a part of  Seven Responses !
Major funding for  Seven Responses  has been provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, with additional support from an anonymous supporter, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ann Stookey Fund for New Music, Debra Reinhard and Pamela Prior, and Eric Owens.
