Laurie Shulmans
book, The Meyerson Symphony Center: Building a Dream
"This is
a real page-turner, with outsized personalities and battles to match,
crashes and burns and disasters barely averted, behind-the scenes
wheeling and dealing and public outrage. . . . Shulman's recountings
of the dramas--the funding crises, the media scrutiny, the last-minute
scramble to ready the building for its opening--read as grippingly
as a hot novel."
Scott
Cantrell, The Dallas Morning News
March 5, 2000
"Who would
have thought that a book about the building of a concert hall would
read like a best-selling novel? It has drama, intrigue, suspense,
larger-than-life protagonists, and even some humor. And theres
a happy ending: Vision and commitment triumph over mediocrity, and
the result is one of the worlds greatest concert halls."

Litton, Music Director,
