a look back, pt. 1

I thought I’d start off next Monday by taking a retrospective at the 2007-2008 OSO season, both on stage and off. But for now, a list of the works we performed this season on the Classical Subscription and Inside the Score series. I’m always somewhat dumbfounded when I look through a list like this after the season ends. My first thought is, we did all that??!!
