Douglas Yeo (bass trombonist with the Boston Symphony), Phil Smith (principal trumpet with the New York Philharmonic), Wendy White (mezzo — soprano with the Metropolitan Opera), Jerry Blackstone (co — director of the country's leading conducting program at the University of Michigan), and Michael Kurick (award — winning

I think, having never been a fan while Goldsmith was alive and
