ISP visits Tarrant County

We have some fantastic news (and, as if that were not enough, we also have pictures).

Reinhold Wagnleitner and Tom McDermott have successfully completed the first leg of their 15-day tour of several schools Texas and California. Their gracious hosts were the ISP alumni of Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas, who were treated to two shows earlier this week. The first of these was Reinhold's data-rich presentation “The United States of America and the World: Views from a Distance", which took place on Monday evening on TCC's South Campus. Tuesday evening carried with it a bit more of a fanciful note, as renowned pianist Tom McDermott joined Reinhold to put on “Jazz – the Classical Music of Globalization”.

The Seminar extends its most sincere thanks to the kind folks at Tarrant County College, and in particular to Jane Harper and Carolyn Carney, who organized the stay. Dr. Harper has sent along these beautiful photographs of the event so that we might be a part of the exciting informances. Please enjoy!
