I haven’t posted for a while but I do have a good excuse. In the last few weeks the Chicago Sinfonietta presented it’s Celebration of Women in Classical Music concerts that generated one of the best reviews we’ve ever received, Paul Freeman and I traveled to San Francisco to participate in a meeting convened by the Wallace Foundation, and last weekend, we hosted our Annual Ball that featured a scintillating performance by international superstar, Denyce Graves. Today feels like the first time I’ve been able to take a breath for weeks!
During that time, I also received an email from the Harris Theater announcing an exciting collaboration they are doing with Chicago Opera Theater and Millennium Park. On Friday, May 9th COT’s production of Don Giovanni will be broadcast live beginning at 7:30 p.m. on a giant screen at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park. Thanks to a major sponsorship from Boeing, thousands of people will be able to experience this event free-of-charge.
Speaking of Millennium Park, the Sinfonietta will make its debut at the Pritzker Pavilion on August 22nd with an encore performance of The Planets by Holst featuring an incredible video created by Dr. Jose Francisco Salgado of the Adler Planetarium.
Finally, yours truly recently received a bit of news that I still can’t quite believe. This humble attempt at discussing classical music with you has been rated very favorably by Blogged.com. Check out their site for more ratings.
Until next time, please keep your comments coming!
