From Roger Blackburn: I was delighted to give a presentation of my career in the orchestra last Monday at the Evergreens in Moorestown NJ for the NJ Volunteer Committee for the Philadelphia Orchestra. Many thanks to my former colleagues and friends who attended, and a special thanks to Dr. Lucy Rorke-Adams who underwrote the event!
