CSE gig- Mardi Gras Mambo

From the Dragon's Den on Friday. Arrangement not actually by Mozart, but by Raul Gomez. Just so you know. Enjoy and Happy Mardi Gras!

Democrats don't complain that the stimulus forgets Gulf Coast

I think it's a little hypocritical that the same voices that used Katrina to blast Bush at every opportune moment are not clamoring to help us now. Am I wrong?

Good call DNR!

The LA Department of Natural Resources has drafted a regulation that will require beneficial use of dredged material. This means that when companies want to do a project in the coastal zone- assuming this regulation goes into effect- they will have to use the marsh mud they dig up in a way that helps with coastal protection and restoration!

Now if only the Corps of Engineers will follow suit, we'll really be getting somewhere!

CSE makes the Times-Picayune!

String ensemble plays at unexpected venues - NOLA.com

CSE this Friday at 7 in NOLA!

Come to the Dragon's Den- on Esplanade by Frenchman- this Friday at 7. The Contemporary String Ensemble is putting on a free show (donations accepted) featuring compositions by several composers here in LA- including a composition by my good friend Ronaldo Cadeu. The below video features him performing a very creative solo piece of his which I love called "Orange Things Inside My Head."

Nah-don't go to the Friday night parade. Save your strength for Endymion and enjoy a different kind of cultural experience!

It's only pork if it's not for your state, isn't it?
