Soprano Beate von Hahn and composer Laurence Traiger at the Black Forest Music Festival.Laurence Traiger loved Austria so much during his junior year abroad that he decided to stay. In 1976, the KU music student flew to Salzburg to study at the Mozarteum, the university of music and dramatic arts. Jump ahead 30 years. Traiger's still in Europe, composing and teaching music theory at the Mozarteum himself. When I wrote about Laurence for Kansas Alumni magazine, I hoped he'd like the story. Today I'm pretty chuffed to report that it's posted on his Wikipedia entry.
