We’d be remiss if we didn’t note that among the Peabody Award winners announced yesterday was The MTT Files . The eight-show series was produced by American Public Media and the San Francisco Symphony and featured Michael Tilson Thomas, the symphony’s music director. Congratulations to all involved!
