News from Hugh and save the date...

Hello dear friends in Windham Phil:

Some of you may have noticed over months that I may not have been fully myself. A tiredness, a depletion, life is effortful, some avoidance. I want to share with you what I have learnt about that, and what it means for us as we move forward together.

I have just been diagnosed with a condition called Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia — a rare, slow-moving form of lymphoma. It is genetic in nature, and by every clinical measure I am in the most favorable category. Currently there is almost nothing to be done beyond monitoring and frequent B12 shots. I am not in crisis, and testing continues. I am immune-deficient.

What I understand now is that this condition has been present — and impacting me, and likely also some of you — for some time; long enough to explain my generalized fatigue and depletion, a set of very slow recoveries, what to some of you I have called “the doldrums,” or, summoning a cheeky grin, “doldra.”

For this orchestra, built as it is on something other than the ordinary terms of professional life, I ask for nothing different than what we give one another — patience, generosity, and the particular kind of love and acceptance that has always been at the center of what we’re doing here. That’s not a favor I’m asking outside our values; it’s the values themselves, asked to carry a little more weight, maybe.

Waldenström’s is, in one sense, simply a name for something that has been true for a while. What is also true, and has always been true, is that what we make together — this improbable, unaudited, wide-open community of players — is loving and ground-breaking despite obstacles of any nature

You have my admiration, and a big space of my heart.
With love,
Hugh

P.S. “An Open Evening of Music Making with Windham Phil on the Latchis Stage." All (yes we mean it!) welcome to come and play. We’ll do movements 2 and 3 of Schubert’s Symphony No. 9, and some other season excerpts. 7pm on Monday September 14. Come at 6:30 to get your music, and get settled.
