Lily Icangelo was there! I knew nothing about Julia Wolfe before attending her Composer Portrait at Miller Theatre Thursday night, but after just two brilliant pieces and a brief talk from Wolfe herself, I felt as if I had known her and her music for many years.

Bwog’s kinda fascinated by the 140-character nuggets of wisdom dispensed from PrezBo’s twitter. We even tried tweeting him once… it was awkward. Anywho, PrezBo’s not the only Twitter-ing Columbian.
