Sound engineering by Eric Parson, with the noble and gracious support of David Gordon and Josephson Engineering.

Thanks are due to Eleanor Lipat-Chesler, Deborah Bradley-Kramer, George Lewis, and many others, for logistical and moral support. [Please see musicians’ short biographies, and additional thanks, on the original program.]
