    That’s a strange choice for such a big job… Was no-one with a higher profile interested? Hard to believe that…

      Big job for a big woman. Tara Helen is an awesome flutist but her ego matches the size of her leather pants. She will be a perfectly great teacher for Yale. This isn’t Juilliard or a Curtis we’re talking about. Congrats!

      I’d encourage you to google Ms. O’Connor and rethink your comment.
