"For me, the OSM is a kind of cultural life insurance. As I am required to be in the studio, both physically and mentally, for an early morning radio show, this precludes my attending concerts and other events. But I know that even as I miss it, the OSM is there for me. This is reassuring, and so reassuring, I sleep better."
René Homier-Roy
