It’s hard to believe we’re finally here at the final entry for Musica in Extenso. It’s been such a spectacular run here, and I think I can speak for everyone in saying that this ending is bittersweet. While it seems clear to us that the blog has run its natural course, I know I’ll miss the camaraderie between our whole staff and our wonderful followers.
We hope we’ve brought you some joy and perhaps introduced you to some piece of beautiful, thought-provoking music you hadn’t heard before. We also hope we’ve entertained you and given you something special to listen to every day, either new or familiar. Best wishes from all of us to all of you! - Melinda Beasi, Artistic Director
