I don't see Rick Subel anywhere on the website, is he still on the staff?

However there are still strong ties to Paramount with a lot of crossover staff members:

  • Tyler Edrington
  • Molly Favret-Edrington
  • Katie Hopkins
  • Madison Adcock
  • Jeff Sacktig
  • Byron Valentine
  • Carrie Smith

Also interesting to note the addition of Marc Sylvester in a consulting role.   Will be interesting to see the design fielded by this visual team. I can envision (a) a more coherent visual design (b) improved guard staging (c) perhaps a more balanced approach to effect (d) more consistent attention to details.

Love this program tweaking staff and really trying to push the program forward. I think that Bimm is a fitting addition for this program, and we all know his pedigree is as vast as the seven seas.

Very true. During Bimm’s tenure at Marian Catholic, his band won more Grand National Championships than any other band ever has. I believe that record still stands today though Carmel will break it pretty soon if their hot streak continues.

I really enjoyed Crown this season. I’m very happy about that. They returned to being the great storytellers that they are.  Liebestod was glorious. You could have heard a pin drop from where I was sitting in Indy. I think everyone wanted that glorious sound to just wash over them. Thank you for a great moment.

Yes! This is on my YouTube playlist this morning.  Side note: around 6:10, either the conduct needs a nitroglycerin tablet or it's really hot in the hall.  Probably the latter...  😬😁

That’s Daniel Barenboim.  He was the music director and conductor of the CSO for 15 years.  Oh those cellos.  🥰

Agree.  Also … Bringing Sully in as an advisor adds all his creative strengths without any of the …shall we say challenges :biggrin: He and Jeff also have a long working relationship.  Glad to see Tyler getting a seat at the design table.  IMHO you need to have a balance of experience and fresh perspectives.   Crown is always tweaking. Last year was fun to watch because the excellence really drove the effect as the season ended.
