BSO Twitter Chatter

Since I began my internship, I've been religiously monitoring twitter chatter surrounding the Baltimore Symphony. From this, I've identified some of the BSO's Twitter Heavyweights.

#BSO TWITTER CHAMPIONS#

HALL OF FAME

@LeeTMills - Lee Mills

Mr. Mills is the BSO's Peabody Conducting Fellow, so he receives personal instruction from Music Director Marin Alsop and serves as cover conductor for many of the orchestra's concerts. Also, he probably tweets about BSO happenings more than any other person. 

“Who is coming to the #Offthecuff concert tomorrow night at the @BaltSymphony? I hear it's sold-out!”

@clefnotes - Tim Smith

As classical music critic for The Baltimore Sun, Tim Smith is no stranger to the BSO. In his blog Clef Notes & Drama Queens, the Baltimore Symphony is a very common topic. I heard that he thought my write up on the WhoIsJoan? landing page was funny, and for that, I love Tim Smith. 

“Enjoyable delivery of Mozart, Debussy standards last night from Langree, Baltimore Symphony. http://bsun.md/nYyEe4”

@bachtrack - Alison Karlin

Alison and her husband David are the founders of Bach Track, a website which brings together a wide array of information about what's happening in the world of classical music: concerts, recordings, musicians, events, and trends. They take a considerable interest in the BSO and often send writers to review our concerts.

“Marin Alsop revives Honegger's Joan of Arc @BaltSymphony @carnegiehall "A fascinating journey" wrote @ZerbinettasBlog http://www.bachtrack.com/review-honneger-joan-of-arc-alsop-baltimore-symphony”

@ChivalrousNoble - Brian Donnell

Plays trombone and is a fervent supporter of the BSO. He participated in Bolt for the BSO (the orchestra's team of runners in the Baltimore Running Festival) and frequents the Meyerhoff. Donnell tweets about a lot of things, and the BSO is a recurring subject. 

"Support me & the @BaltSymphony in my 1st #5k Run w/ @BoltfortheBSO in the @BaltRunFest Oct. 15 by donating here: http://www.active.com/donate/Bolt2011/BDRun2011

As tempted as I was, I didn't include myself in this list, but I nonetheless encourage you to follow me on twitter @TashinaLyn, because sometimes I can be pretty adorable and others... I could use a swift kick in the shin.
