I have long admired the fine work done by Madison Symphony Orchestraâ??s Tyrone and Janet Greive in this area for so many years. I thank them for their efforts.
As Greive noted in his Friday guest column, the ability level of college orchestras, including those at UW-Madison, has become very high. The directors are also wonderful â?? Iâ??ve been watching the exemplary work of orchestra director James Smith and choir professor Beverly Taylor with the university orchestras for years, and recommend that readers attend upcoming university opera and choir concerts.
