    That wasn’t very nice of them

  • Freewheeler says:

    Won’t be missed.

  • Robert Ducal says:

    CIRM has nothing to do with culture, so it’s fine.

  • Eric says:

    Over a hundred years, new music is no longer new and it has never been popular. It is definitely a fail artistic attempt.

  • Jared says:

    My concert series that I get to participate in is struggling. Many who have held it up over the years have since passed away. Going to it has been good for celebrating my birthday.
