journalists, and arts administrators, special focus is placed on classical music's defining traditions, challenges and contemporary scope. Innovative in structure and approach, the volume comprises two parts. The first provides detailed analyses of issues central to classical music in the present day, including diversity, governance, the identity and perception of classical music, and the challenges facing the achievement of financial stability in non-profit arts organizations. The second part offers case studies, from Miami to Seoul, of the innovative ways in which some arts organizations have responded to the challenges analyzed in the first part. Introductory material, as well as several of the essays, provide some preliminary thoughts about the impact of the crisis year 2020 on the world of classical music. |

This book is a biography of Major Richard Ira Bong, the United States Army Air Force's top-scoring air ace during World War II. Authored by General George C. Kenney, it chronicles Bong's journey from a farm boy to a celebrated fighter pilot with forty official victories. The narrative details Bong's military career, his achievements, and the legacy he left behind. It serves as a tribute to Bong's heroism and his inspiration for future generations of fighter pilots. General Kenney offers insights into the air strategies of the Southwest Pacific Campaigns and his personal experiences with Bong, providing a compelling account of valor and dedication in the face of wartime challenges. The book aims to honor Bong's memory and encourage the preservation of freedom and ideals that he valiantly defended. |
