We will definitely be taping the sessions that take place on stage.theater, about half the day is small-group
workshops where a lot of exciting stuff and actual improvisation (at three pianos and a historical
fortepiano) will be happening, and that will probably not get as good video coverage by its very nature,
although there will be some for that time.
It's experiential, and we are doing our very best to document it as well!

That is super great!
We really look forward to his attendance for the Symposium event at MIT.
The Oct 28th dinner could be last-minute decision on his part, he will always be welcome. Of
course we'd love to know as early as possible. It should be a very stimulating evening.
I will get the venue for the dinner to you as soon as it is decided. The dinnerwill likely be at a
private home in Catnrbridge/Brookline.

ffrey has said YES to this...l am not sure if he will attend the pre-dinner on
Oct. 28th (will try to find out...but it may not be until closer to the date-when do you need to
know by?) But I will for sure put the pre-dinner and the event on Oct. 29th on Jeffrey's
calendar. Thanks,
