Music Commentary: Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra — Gender Diversity?

By taking the stage with 15 musicians, none of whom is female, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra presents the music as segregated and outdated.

Fuse Concert Review: Vladimir Jurowski Leads the London Philharmonic at Symphony Hall

Vladimiar Jurowski leads the London Philharmonic

The Celebrity Series of Boston offers top-notch artists and performing ensembles from around the world. With a Russian at the helm, it is no surprise that the Shostakovich Concerto would match or exceed expectations. The question was whether the Beethoven would.

Classical Music Review: A Love-in for Itzhak Perlman

Violinist Itzhak Perlman is the go-to guy when a world-class violinist is needed at presidential inaugurations, for visiting royalty, and as a guest for cooking shows.
