Concerts

Having moved to the Baltimore region this past month, we have been checking out new classical concert venues.  Baltimore Symphony Orchestra opened its season with a sampler program.  We liked the rendition of Holst's "Jupiter" the best and the pop "Lost In Syndication" arranged by Jack Everly,  a medley of science fiction music  (Twilight Zone, X-Files, The Jetsons, et. al), was fun.

Peabody had a wonderful free and open to the public Master Class "The Art of the Countertenor” with internationally acclaimed singer/director Drew Minter last night. Drew Minter was humorous and insightful. Three countertenors were featured over two hours and there was live harpsichord accompaniment.  The Korean student was extreme.

Unfortunately, I have lost the programs for both of these events.  I'll try to be better about posting them so I don't forget what I have heard!
