The second week of classes begins with five-star weather—clear skies, mid-70s, light breeze, and a hint of fall during the cool evening. Classes, lessons, and ensembles are up and running, with students making final registration changes today. We'll look forward to the start of the concert season next Tuesday, as faculty bassoonist Jon Beebe kicks off our faculty recital series. (See Events.)
