My Kingdom For a Spring -or- Locked In

Yesterday was a long day.  I worked a day shift and then got home in time to make myself some food, check out my new health insurance on the internet (thank you, Commonwealth Care!) and then get ready for my concert and leave to walk there.  As I locked up the house I remember the distinct feeling that the deadbolt caught a little strangely when I locked it.  More on that later.

Saturday July 21st, 2012 – 8:00pm Harvard Square – WAGNER, BARTÓK, & BRAHMS

Hi folks,

This is just a quick note to let you all know that I’m appearing with the Mercury Orchestra in their July 21st concert.  I am appearing with members of The Seraphim Singers in the Bartók The Miraculous Mandarin.  The program is:

Wagner Overture to Tannhäuser
Bartók The Miraculous Mandarin (complete)
Brahms Symphony No. 1 in c minor

Tickets are available online and at the door, though they’re $5 less if you buy them in advance.  Don’t miss the chance to hear the Bartók performed.  It’s rarely done and even more rarely done in complete form.

Hope to see you there.

Upcoming Boston Music Events

As my New Job has finally been able to update the website, I’ve now been able to update my resume.  That also means that I can do things like advertise cool opera related things here like discounted tickets.  As I’ve also picked up some part time work at the Harvard Book Store working their events, I figured I should point out some upcoming events that might be interesting to the music geeks who read this blog.

Please note, as it says at the very bottom of the page, this is our blog and I am posting this as a service to my readers and friends, not because I’ve been asked to by my employer(s) or because it benefits me in any way.  (Other than giving me something nifty to write about.)

That play we missed

Regular readers will have noticed that I mentioned that Geoff and I missed a friend’s Very Important Play on Friday night when Smoky took ill.  I emailed him to explain and apologize, but it’s never as good as being there.  I know I hate it when my friends miss my performances, even when they have a really good reason.  Thankfully someone was able to videotape the experience, and in HD no less.
