Mike Cole asks about:

>Andrews Sill (Associate Conductor, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra),

He has been Associate Conductor only one season, since the departure of the
previous one, and I have not heard him conduct.  He was Assistant Conductor
previously.  (His predecessors have been good, and have included Joanne
Falletta).  His bio is at www.milwaukeesymphony.org/andy.htm

>John O'Conor, Piano Soloist

I have heard him and you should not be disappointed.

>Robert McDuffie, Violin Soloist
>Barber-Violin Concerto

This should be first rate.  McDuffie recorded this with Slatkin and St.
Louis, so you could get a preview.
