As 2011 draws to a close, here’s a look back at some of my personal picks for highlights of the past Rosen-year:
The conservation and unveiling of the only surviving Sendak mural:
Our commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War:
Participation in the first Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts with Exile Among Expats: James Joyce in Paris and the composition Raving Beauty about Mercedes de Acosta.
And a wonderful Dracula DIY held during a freak October snowstorm
My list could go on and on–watching children in our school partner project performing 18th-century set dances, the explosion of interest in reading groups, working with composer Dave Burrell on his Civil War compositions….
