On Oct 27, 2014, at 10:11 AM, Margaret Minsky <milmlimerote: We will definitely be taping the sessions that take place on stage.theater, about half the day is small-group workshops where a lot of exciting stuff and actual improvisation (at three pianos and a historical fortepiano) will be happening, and that will probably not get as good video coverage by its very nature, although there will be some for that time. It's experiential, and we are doing our very best to document it as well! On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 10:08 AM ote: Margaret you be video taping the event?
