Khruangbin On Tour, Meghan Eileen Connolly Dec 2021

Khruangbin On Tour, Meghan Eileen Connolly

Graphic Communication

My senior project, Khruangbin On Tour, creates the opportunity to ideate and promote Khruangbin’s, a three-person band, tour through branding and merchandise. The goal is to create visuals, such as a poster or t-shirt design, to complement their songs and the band as a whole through the use of color palettes, typography, objects and illustrations. The music’s feeling and aesthetic should be reflected in the visual aspects as it represents the artist overall and speaks to the audience.

Remembering Phyllis Josell, Dan Shea

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

Our longtime member Phyllis liked to speak of being introduced to classical music and live concerts by her husband Harold “Hal” Josell, who deeply loved the singing of Jussi Björling. They accumulated a collection of LPs together while bringing up their kids, working and enjoying friends, in New Jersey.

Jussi Bjorling: In Concert, Finland & The U.S., Henry Fogel Nov 2021

Jussi Bjorling: In Concert, Finland & The U.S., Henry Fogel

Newsletter of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

There are many Jussi Bjorling recital discs available, and given the unique beauty of his singing it would be foolish to recommend one (or, in this case, two) as the one to have. I will say, however, that this is a treasure, and is certainly one of the best collections available. Some of the songs and arias appear more than once over the 54 tracks. But it is even interesting to hear the differences in interpretation over the 17-year span of his career represented here.


In The Spotlight: Don Pruitt Jussi's Concert At Constitution Hall, Washington, Dc, March 3, 1957 Oct 2021

In The Spotlight: Don Pruitt Jussi's Concert At Constitution Hall, Washington, Dc, March 3, 1957

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

During the mid-1940's, when I was a teenager growing up in Roanoke, Virginia, I somehow or other chanced upon opera. During the afternoon radio broadcast period usually devoted to such enthralling boys' adventure serials as "Jack Armstrong," "Captain Midnight," and "The Green Hornet," a local station transmitted a condensed Aida over several days; this captured my imagination and interest. Then I found the Saturday afternoon Metropolitan Opera broadcasts, and would listen to them whenever I had the chance. I very dearly remember from this period a complete Aida, a Walkuere, and especially Peter Grimes, this last because, I think, of …

Jussi Bjorling At Carnegie Hall, Cantor Don Goldberg

Journal of the Jussi Björling Societies of the USA & UK

You remember the old saw: the tourist lost in Manhattan sees a violinist walking down the street and calls out, "how do you get to Carnegie Hall?" The musician's answer is, "Practice!"
