The owner of Cedille Records, James Ginsburg, is in mourning for his mother, the Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

May her memory be blessed.

Leonard Slatkin writes: It was my privilege and honor to have Justice Ginsburg in the audience for several of my performances in Washington. She would come backstage afterward and was more than gracious. On one occasion, I was invited to play at a chamber music series held by the members of the Supreme Court. At dinner, following the concert, there was a lively discussion with the Justices. All they wanted to talk about was music. 

Teatro Real in Madrid was forced to suspend last night’s performance of Un Ballo In Maschera as the audience was booing loudly because of lack of security and sanitation measures.

People in the upper balconies did not have proper social distancing between seats.

Full story in Scherzo:

The orchestra played the overture between clapping hands and shouts of “out, out!”
