A Great Evening in Baldwin Auditorium
This photo–in the old Baldwin Auditorium prior to the spectacular 2014 renovation–has gone missing. It is somewhere in the archives of Duke. Does anyone have a copy?
March 28, 2010. While most of the campus attention was on the basketball games, a rather remarkable and well attended concert was held in Baldwin Auditorium, featuring compositions by Thom Limbert (“Timepiece”), Chia-Yu Hsu (“Among Gardens” and “Journey to the West”) and John Mayrose (“Common Practice, Book I”). The concert featured the performance talents of the Ciompi Quartet; Jane Hawkins, piano; and the members of pulsoptional composers collective, among many others. This photo, taken after the concert, features graduate composers, faculty and performers.Front row left-to right: Kathleen Bader, Sarah Griffin, Caroline Mallonee, John Mayrose, Sidney Boquiren, Chia-Yu Hsu, Jane Hawkins, Janet Jieru Chen
