KISSIN COMES TO BOSTON

Evgeny Kissin, a legend among mere men (and, incidentally, an idol of mine since I began playing (violin) as a boy…), is coming to the BSO next weekend for a concert that combines two monuments of the pianist’s repertoire: Grieg’s Concerto and Chopin’s Concerto No. 1 in e minor.

Pearls would be too obvious; instead, pair it back to sky-high …

NEW HOTNESS COMING MARCH 1ST.

As many of you know, I have love, of that Auden-for-Isherwood epic variety, for a Ms. Heather Camille White, our former Director of Digital Media,  and can say in all seriousness that this blog owes every ounce of its fresh-to-deathness to her. In the interest of not having a post-Extreme-Makeover-Home-Edition series of waterworks, let’s just say …
