Sure, sounds interesting. People might also remember this as the
institution that decided it wasn't worth having the original Partch
instruments, as contained in Newband (directed by Dean Drummond).
Priorities, priorities. Whether Newband/Drummond were gracious guests
might be another subject, but the microtonal winds at Purchase seem
to blow many ways...

after Onelist f***ed it up...)
