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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Dance Review: Dance Heginbotham — Music Makes It

Dance Review: Dance Heginbotham — Music Makes It

John Heginbotham may be making modern dance but he gives us the gift of classicism: discovery within form.

By: Marcia B. Siegel Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Easy Win, John Heginbotham, Marcia B. Siegel

Concert Review: Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

Concert Review: Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis

The show had an undercurrent that brought to the fore all the issues that have put Wynton Marsalis at the center of the culture wars.

By: Jon Garelick Filed Under: Featured, Jazz, Music, Review Tagged: Celebrity-Series, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Wynton Marsalis

Dance Review: “Atomos” — Way Overagitated

Dance Review: “Atomos” — Way Overagitated

Despite its grand intentions, Atomos is essentially an abstract work that springs from Wayne McGregor’s obvious passion for full-throttle movement.

By: Mary Paula Hunter Filed Under: Dance, Featured, Review Tagged: Atomos, Celebrity-Series, Wayne McGregor

Concert Review: Los Angeles Philharmonic at Symphony Hall

Concert Review: Los Angeles Philharmonic at Symphony Hall

New Yorker critic Alex Ross has called the LAPO the best orchestra in the country and that appellation seems about right.
