March 7th: Claude Vivier Killed (1983) Sometimes genius is snuffed out before reaching its true potential. On March 7th 1983 a young, brilliant man was killed in a crime that, for the most part, became lost in a sea of tragic stories. And, with the end of his life, came the end of a musical career that, even in its short time, inspired the lives of many.  https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/feb/22/classicalmusicandopera, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Vivier, https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/29/arts/music/review-claude-vivier-canada.html, https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/it-was-only-a-matter-of-time/article4127487/, https://www.boosey.com/pages/cr/composer/composer_main?composerid=18226&ttype=BIOGRAPHY, https://www.cbc.ca/radio/sunday/the-sunday-edition-february-11-2018-1.4528197/the-tragic-real-life-story-of-quebec-composer-claude-vivier-is-mirrored-in-his-music-1.4528205, https://www.thewholenote.com/index.php/newsroom/feature-stories/27377-unvanishing-the-musical-life-of-claude-vivier, https://online.ucpress.edu/jams/article-abstract/69/3/848/91987/Review-Claude-Vivier-A-Composer-s-Life-by-Bob?redirectedFrom=fulltext Learn more about your ad choices.

March 6th: Pieter Doorewaard and Phillip Schutte Sentenced (2019) Some stories have nice endings that seem to wrap everything up in a nice tidy little bow. Others, like today’s story, leave loose ends that may never be addressed. On March 6th 2019 two men were sentenced for a crime that they may, or may not,  have actually been responsible for. A case that, to this day, has far too many loose ends to consider itself a closed case.  https://www.sapeople.com/2020/11/27/coligny-two-phillip-schutte-and-pieter-doorewaard-acquitted-of-all-charges/, https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/coligny-murder-supreme-court-of-appeal-finds-accused-not-guilty-overturns-convictions-20201127, https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-47469522, https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/pieter-doorewaard-and-phillip-schutte-coligny-murder-case-appeal/, https://www.iol.co.za/news/two-men-convicted-of-coligny-teen-matlhomola-mosweus-murder-now-free-after-sca-overturns-their-conviction-6588830f-06c7-4809-9500-7d1ccbc7e62b, https://www.iol.co.za/the-star/news/farmers-convicted-of-killing-nw-teen-over-sunflower-take-their-case-to-appeals-court-50092125, https://www.enca.com/news/Coligny-Murder-Conviction-sentence-overturned, https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-12-01-coligny-sunflower-case-tells-us-white-lives-matter-more-than-black-lives-in-small-town-south-africa/, https://nypost.com/2019/03/06/white-south-african-farmers-get-prison-for-killing-black-teen/, https://citizen.co.za/news/south-africa/courts/2346122/sunflower-killers-launch-fresh-attack-on-states-star-witness-and-his-evidence/, https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-07/white-farmers-pieter-doorewaard-and-phillip-schutte-in-courtroo/10877456?nw=0 Learn more about your ad choices.
