I stumbled onto a handful of short videos of Paul Ellison talking about carrier possibilities in music. Very thoughtful and open minded about the possibilities for students. Give them a look, you may want to post a link.

Thanks, Jon! I just checked this Ellison material out, and it is really interesting and useful. I will be sure to blog about it.
How about some stuff about the harison concerto. The ISB has an interesting article about it on their site. Also, I believe that Volkan Orhan has a video recording on his site.
Nice pic in the NY Times music section. James Levine, composers John Harbison, Elliott Carter, Milton Babbitt w/ Tim Cobb looming in the background.
