Pictures of me with Box Five - jerseyray. 07 February 2009 @ 06:13 pm. Pictures of me with Box Five. Mary put some up on her. Page, from last March, at Burlap and Bean. I have always enjoyed playing with Box Five, usually I play the string parts when there is no string quartet present. It was a fine gig!

May 3rd, 2009 - jerseyray. 03 May 2009 @ 01:45 am. Again tonight, they were fantastic as always, maybe the best I have seen them yet. In these times where we are all being more frugal, all you Philly classical music fans should check them out. Let me count the reasons:. First rate musicians, all recent conservatory graduates. Exiting music director, Rossen Milanov. He gets the most out of this ensemble. Very close to center city, just over the BF bridge, and free parking. Ticket prices are a real bargain.

Bravo Paavo! - jerseyray

01 March 2009 @ 10:17 pm. I just got in from the State Theater. New Brunswick, where I saw the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie. DKAM) under the direction of Paavo Jarvi. What a fine show, this may be the best orchestra concert I see all season. They played their specialty, Beethoven, specifically the Third and Eighth Symphonies, and the Consecration of the House Overture. This orchestra, under Jarvi's direction, has an outlook on Beethoven. All three works were played with speed, precision and clarity. I...

EP Review: UKZ/Radiation - jerseyray. 10 April 2009 @ 12:22 am. I just got this EP on i-Tunes for 4 bucks, it is now available for download. This is a strong new release, the best cut is probably the title track, which you can see, hear, and experience for free on Youtube here:. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch?

Symphony in C - jerseyray. 15 February 2009 @ 01:23 pm. They opened with Grieg's. Regular readers of this blog know how much I love Grieg. The Holberg Suite not only shows Grieg's interest in baroque forms, but it has strong Norwegian folk elements. The principal violin and viola players got a good workout playing in duet during the finale. it was like a Norwegian wedding dance! The final piece on the program was the well known Tchaikovsky.

RIP, Bea Arthur - jerseyray. 26 April 2009 @ 09:58 pm. RIP, Bea Arthur. With all of the obituaries. And kind words being said for Bea Arthur, I. Heard no mention of one of her greatest roles ever. One in which she. Got to show off her ability to sing and act, on TV, singing along with. The music of America's most loved living composer, John Williams. Yes, I am referring to the Star Wars Holiday Special. Just one more round, friend!

The Nine - jerseyray

The Nine - jerseyray. 21 February 2009 @ 02:19 pm. In classical music, much is often made of the curse of the nine. As the curse goes, you write nine symphonies, then you drop dead. While a number of great composers have written ultimate, Ninth symphonies, most of them don't really live up to the curse. Mahler wrote ten numbered symphonies, Bruckner eleven, and Schubert really only wrote eight, including his famous one that he didn't finish. There are also some overtures included in the set, but I was di...

Given To Fly: June 2009
http://dt-given-to-fly.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 21, 2009. Back to the rub. In order to even make an attempt, I needed to be cleared with another CFI (certified flight instructor) first. Dick Yates, the owner of the flight school, took me up and had me execute a few procedures. All went relatively smoothly. The winds were a bit squirrelly so he suggested I come back later in the day to make the actual flight. So I'm back in the thick of it trying to move up to the next level and be able to fly alone, safely, eventually getting ready to tak...
