Inspiring Conductors:

In honor of the conducting video I made of My Very Own, this week I will feature a daily conducting video.

Please enjoy "Maestro Cirque Du Soleil," the original Mad Conductor:

Each week, Boston Symphony Orchestra will be sharing a new playlist, featuring performances from the orchestra's archive of recordings of concerts given in Symphony Hall and at the orchestra's summer home, Tanglewood. Click here for the Week 1 playlist (Week 2 should be available soon!). 

Photo Challenge:

It may surprise you to learn that I collect weird hats. Specifically, animal hats. And I have quite a varied collection.
​
​Here's a sample:
Picture
Flying Duck, acquired 2003
Picture
Knit Monkey,
acquired 2010

Picture
Fuzzy Lobster,
​acquired 2018
Picture
Cow with Brim,
acquired 2019
*please note that while the monkey hat selfie was taken for this post, the other 3 pictures were taken previously, and are not all selfies, thus proving that I occasionally wear these hats out in public.

​So now that you know I'm slightly weirder than you thought (or maybe you always suspected?), it's your turn! 
​Share your collection, weird costumes, odd habits ... or whatever else you think might make us laugh! Have you taken up a new crafting activity to help pass the time (I know some of you have!)? Write up a short post or just send some pictures.

to respond to this challenge and/or submit any other content for the Daily Chorus News​.

(And if you ever come across a crazy animal hat - tell me where I can find it!)
