To all of our dear RIAF friends, a big THANK YOU for another great week in Sarasota. Our Festival would be nothing without an audience, and you have proved to be among the best with your tremendous openness, sophistication, and enthusiasm. It is a privilege to be a part of this exciting new tradition in Southwest Florida, and all of us at BAC greatly appreciate the warmth with which you’ve welcomed us and all of the artists into your beautiful part of the world. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.

Artist Spotlight: Edward Arron, Cellist
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009Cellist Edward Arron is rapidly gaining recognition worldwide for his elegant musicianship, impassioned performances, and creative programming. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Mr. Arron made his New York recital debut in 2000 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since that time, Mr. Arron has appeared in recital, as a soloist with orchestra, and as a chamber musician throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
Mr. Arron will perform with other internationally renowned musicians – pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, violinist Jennifer Frasutschi, and French horn player Eric Ruske – at the Chamber Music Programs at the Ringling International Arts Festival in October.
But if you’re lucky enough to be in New York tonight you can attend Mr. Arron’s performance at the Baryshnikov Arts Center.
Then come back and write a review.

Behind the Scenes
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009We at the Ringling Museum and the BAC are quickly learning what it takes to put together a international festival as we work hard behind-the-scenes to make sure everything goes as planned come October. Sure, it is still five months away, but we cannot rest on our laurels there is marketing to be done, travel arrangements to be made, and physical coordination of events to be organized, to name only a few. It takes more than just calling some artists and asking them to participate. It takes uber-organization skills, the ability to walk backwards in high-heels (figuratively speaking of course, unless you are Meow Meow who probably can do it in her sleep) and the ability to keep a sense of humor. The ride has been fun so far, stay tuned for more.
