What happened to the OLLI Classical Music Workshop? The short answer is that limitations placed by the university administration on the rooms available to OLLI (and on parking and workshop times) made it difficult for me to offer the kind of workshop we have run for the past couple of years. This is in no way the fault of the OLLI staff who have put on a more limited program for Fall 2018 in spite of everything. I hope we will be able to work around these problems and offer a workshop in Spring 2019.
