Dance Review: Camille A. Brown & Dancers — Ease, Grace, and Jubilation

It was a treat to see Camille A. Brown & Dancers inhabit (and elaborate on) a number of different African American dance traditions with such winning ease and grace.

Concert Review: Singer Jamie Barton Makes No Ordinary Debut

What is surprising is that, along with the extraordinary power of her voice, Jamie Barton’s luminous smile won me over before she sang a note.

Concert Review: The Heroics of Pianist Marc-André Hamelin

Few in the business proffer the same fusion of near-unbelievable chops/technique with an acute musical sensitivity that encourages near-miracles.

Concert Review: “Bach Trios” — Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile

J.S. Bach has been subjected to every imaginable kind of transcription, but the combination of mandolin, bass, and cello is probably new.

Concert Review: Mezzo-Soprano Susan Graham — An Explosion of Love Songs

A vital part of  Susan Graham’s appeal is her winning personality; she makes a recital hall audience happy to be here before she sings a note.

Dance Review: …And Farewell — Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet

Contemporary dance has no useful definition; maybe we could think of it as an attitude, a constantly changing venture.
