Marty Sasaki, RIP
Marty from post to his high school facebook page Marty's death apparently happened about six months ago. He stopped posting to his blog on August 13. His recorder teacher, who told me about it, had seen him at her student recital (which may have been the one on September 12) two days before he died. [...]
Another Chopin Concert
Judith Conrad, Fortepiano with the Delight Consort Sunday, March 7, 2010, 3:00 The Loring Greenough House Celebrating Fryderyk Chopin’s 200th Birthday with parlor music by himself and his forbears Frederic Chopin, whose 200th birthday is March 1st, 2010, played a square piano in his youth in Poland, and continued to perform on them in salons [...]
Cantatas, Sonatas and Moral Tales: Songs and Instrumental Music from 18th-century Germany
Last night I went to another concert in the Viols and Friends series. This one was of eighteenth century music, which we're on the whole more familiar with than we are the seventeenth century music that I heard last October. Although the performance included composers as familiar as Telemann and Handel, it was in general [...]
Chopin Concert
I gave the basic information about this Wednesday, but didn't include the program, or performer's bio. Here's what's on the flyer: Music of Fryderyk Chopin on the occasion of his 200th birthday born March 1, 1810, Żelazowa Wola, Poland died October 17, 1949, Paris, France Judith Conrad, Pianist Sunday, February 21, 2010, 3:00 PM First [...]
Results from the January 30 concert
I thought I'd write a coherent account, instead of throwing you dribs and drabs like I did in December. The previously posted information is all in this post, except that I posted the picture later. It was one of the nicest spaces we've played in. We've played there twice before, but because it's an art [...]
How the Burns party went
I'm just now getting to hear the recordings from the concert on January 30, so I'll write about that later. Yesterday's Burns birthday party was quite pleasant. My sister, the hostess, read an article from the Manchester Guardian pointing out that the custom started within a few years of Burns' death, when there were still [...]
The Book of Judith
I'm going to a Robert Burns Birthday Party tomorrow, where people read poetry that's impressed them. We'll also song some Burns songs and read some of the standard Burns, but people mostly pick poems that mean something to them no matter who the poet is or when they were written. I thought over what poetry [...]
Songs my mother taught me
A surprising number of them are under copyright. I thought about it this morning because the BBC had a story that hinged on Kookaburra being under copyright. Of course, everybody knows about Happy Birthday, largely because of the suit against the Girl Scouts. This is why a family-friendly restaurant I go to sometimes has its [...]
Lohengrin at Bayreuth
I enjoyed this DVD quite a lot, although it's probably a bit long to be a good introduction to Wagner if you don't already know you want to watch him. With my memory refreshed on my previous viewing of the opera by my post last Monday, I could see that the Bayreuth organization and Werner [...]
