Diversity is one of the great strengths of this workshop and the opportunities made available by the Banff Center. Last night's post-concert jam session was opened by a burning quartet with members from Latvia, Australia, South Korea, and Rochester, New York. The program encompasses a wide swath of communities, instrumentations, lineages, and musical philosophies.

My God, it's beautiful up here today. After a week of rain and snow, the skies opened this morning and the sunshine is dazzling on the snow covered peaks. It's a good day for a run. A few of us plan to run up Sulfur Mountain (update: in Canada they spell it Sulphur. Go figure.), an elevation change of about 2200 feet (update: it was more like 3000 feet of climb).
