Dance Review: “The Just and the Blind” — Shackled, Humiliated, Scared

The Just and the Blind sends a needed and powerful message — it is 2022, we need to wake up!

By: Jessica Lockhart Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Jessica Lockhart, Marc Bamuthi Joseph, The Just and the Blind

Classical Concert Review: Pianist Conrad Tao in Recital

During the pandemic months, Conrad Tao – who, in addition to being an exceptional pianist, is also an accomplished composer – has evidently been honing his skills as an improviser.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Conrad Tao, Jonathan Blumhofer

Jazz Album Review: Miguel Zenón’s Law Years Band & Christian McBride’s New Jawn Band

Two pianoless quartets + two restless leaders = some of the best music of the last few years.

By: Steve Elman Filed Under: Featured, Jazz, Music, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Christian McBride, Law Years, Miguel Zenón, Ornette Coleman, Stave Sessions

Dance Commentary: Paul Taylor — Now You See It, Virtually

I’ve always believed that dance has a literature, much like music or drama. Dance’s literature consists of both ideas (choreography) and the execution of ideas (performance).

By: Marcia B. Siegel Filed Under: Commentary, Dance, Featured Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Marcia B. Siegel, Paul Taylor

Concert Review: L.A. Philharmonic — Gustavo Dudamel and Yuja Wang

The charmed trifecta of John Adams, Yuja Wang, and Gustavo Dudamel produced a hit, at least to this Boston audience.

By: Susan Miron Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Gustavo-Dudamel, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Yuja Wang

Arts Commentary: 2019-20 Classical Music Preview

I’ve compiled a list of twelve concerts (or concert series) that I think will stand among the future season’s highlights.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Commentary, Featured, Preview Tagged: Boston Modern Orchestra Project, Boston Opera Collaborative, Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston-Musica-Viva, Cantata Singers, Celebrity-Series, Collage New Music, Handel & Haydn Society, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Concerts, Juventas New Music Ensemble, Lexington Symphony, Longwood Symphony, New England Conservatory Orchestras, New-England-Philharmonic, Odyssey Opera

Concert Music Review: Violinist Itzhak Perlman and Pianist Evgeny Kissin — An Odd Dream Team

A bit surprising — that two megastars choose such meat and potatoes repertoire.

By: Susan Miron Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Evgeny Kissin, Itzhak Perlman

Dance Review: It’s Party Time — Monica Bill Barnes & Company

Monica Bill Barnes, a dancer-choreographer, mime, storyteller and soft satirist, has riffed in the past on the pitfalls of dancing, the vanity of performers, the absurdities of adolescence. Now she’s looking at gender displacements and assertions.

By: Marcia B. Siegel Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Happy Hour, Marcia B. Siegel, Monica Bill Barnes and Company

Jazz Concert Review: Mnozil Brass — Music-as-Vaudeville

The seven-man musical wrecking squad from Austria called Mnozil Brass has created a combination circus band, village band, marching band, and vaudeville orchestra.

By: Steve Provizer Filed Under: Featured, Jazz, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Mnozil Brass

Dance Review: Mark Morris Dance Group’s — Fab Four Plus

Mark Morris and Ethan Iverson chose songs from the famous album for reflection and extrapolation. What they made is an entertainment, a romp for the company’s terrific dancers.

By: Marcia B. Siegel Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Marcia B. Siegel, Mark Morris Dance Group, Pepperland, The Beatles
