(Suntimes, MTV, ESPN) According to some, Ivy style will be making a comeback this spring. Not to brag or anything, but we totally called […]
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.
