		<description><![CDATA[By James Conlon I had intended to submit this entry on December 15, the day after the terrible events in Newtown, CT. I found it impossible to think about anything else, and felt it was inappropriate, if not disrespectful, to publish it on that day. I have kept it for the New Year and offer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By: James Conlon The Gewandhaus Orchester was the first to play the Prelude to Die Meistersinger, conducted by the composer, on November 1, 1862. The orchestra traditionally observes important anniversaries of works that were premiered there.

		<description><![CDATA[For people who don&#8217;t happen to read the Los Angeles Times, I would suggest clicking here for an excellent article posted on October 21 by Neal Gabler. It is headlined, “Hollywood&#8217;s perception of value versus real value [my italics]: America emulates Movieland&#8217;s way of measuring the worth of things, which teaches us to place the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by James Conlon About a week ago I witnessed a heart-warming spectacle in Rome. Imagine 750 kids between the ages of five and twelve, screaming, giggling, squealing with delight, singing, dancing while running on and off the stage of a theater.
