In His Own Words

Two days in the country

I was lucky to get to spend the past two days with a Board member and his family on their farm just a short drive north of Toronto. No suits and ties, but flannel shirts, jeans and rubber boots, walks in the snow (finally!) and even some tobogganing made for a quite different environment than usual to talk and think about the COC. It is one of my favorite places to go and get some distance, perspective - and always good advice.

Meanwhile in Toronto we have started orchestra rehearsals for Tosca. I can't wait to join tomorrow morning.

I’m glad your Blog is back. It’s great to get more info from your blog than a one or two word on your Tweet. Now is worthwhile to visit the COC site more often. Thanks Alexander.

Wonderful to see your blog back in action. I missed it, Twitter doesn't quite cut it. Here's to a great season. Sue

Welcome back, Alexander. I am looking forward to Tosca. It's a classic, and it's a feast of music. All the best, Anthony.
