Were the programme of
music not so good at this stalwart of London concert life, its location
would still make it worth a visit. Its Thames-side situation affords
lovely views along and across the river, especially at night. The
umbrella name of the South Bank Centre encompasses three concert halls.
The Royal Festival Hall
is the largest, staging mainly symphony concerts and events at the more
popular end of the spectrum, although the acoustics arguably don’t suit
amplified music. The Queen Elizabeth Hall is about a third of
the size of the RFH, and takes care of chamber groups, semi-staged
operas and the occasional idiosyncratic theatrical event. Finally,
small chamber groups and recitals can be found in the comparatively
cosy Purcell Room . In addition, there’s a good-sized bookshop,
free foyer music, an overpriced record store, a poetry library and
performance room, several caf?s, bars and restaurants, including the
classy People’s Palace .

Situated in the heart of political London – the Houses of Parliament
are a couple of minutes’ walk away, while the HQ of the Conservative
Party is in the square itself – St John’s church has been a concert
venue for almost 40 of its 270-plus years. It now hosts a regular
programme of concerts of varying degrees of quality. Though the
acoustics aren’t great for larger ensembles and it’s not an especially
comfortable place – wrap up in winter – it’s a winning venue boosted
immeasurably by its crypt, which holds a lovely, secluded and even
faintly romantic bar and restaurant.

If you want to spend a little time in Provence or 11 other French provinces, take a culinary flight as talented chef John Bubala revisits his cooking roots. Each week through April, Bubala creates tasting menus featuring the likes of cassoulet from Languedoc, sole from Normandy, and spit-roasted pheasant from Perigord. A taste adventure to Pays Basque brings grilled salmon and fish soup, while a trip to Provence yields sea bass wrapped in cabbage and lamb stew with cured black olives.

Bobby McFerrin and the Philadelphia Orchestra
Posted by exilewarriors under Uncategorized | Tags: serena c, sinc |Comments Off
Those who remember Bobby McFerrin for only the insipid ‘Don’t Worry Be Happy’ will be interested to learn that he has been conducting orchestras on a regular basis since 1994. A tremendous sense of passion and fun highlight McFerrin’s performances, but he doesn’t neglect his serious love of classical composition, as the programme of Tchaikovsky’s ‘Serenade for Strings’ and Bizet’s Symphony in C Major reflects. For it’s part, the Philadelphia Symphony remains one of the most celebrated on the East Coast.

This crooner, known as the James Taylor of Spain, is one of the biggest sensations in the Latin music world. For over 30 years now, he has written some of the loveliest songs in the Spanish tongue. As a performer, he is a match for Iglesias, Miguel or any other Latin superstar. Tonight, Jose Luis Pareles comes to Miami to play from his latest album, ‘Me Han Contado Que Existe Un Paraiso’.

Mixed plates of fish, meats and cheeses can be nibbled to accompany wines from the extensive selection that are crowded on the bar and crammed in the man-sized fridges. Unlike many bars, this one is furnished with wooden tables letting you avoid bar-propping and let you enjoy the buzzy atmosphere and many refills from the sober support of a sturdy bench seat.

Blue Man Group
Posted by exilewarriors under Uncategorized | Tags: ace for men, bing bang, brash, pro street |Comments Off
As the chart-climbing recording ‘Audio’ earns a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Instrumental, the Blue Man Group enjoys its record-setting fourth year at Briar Street Theatre. This show has become an international hit with four productions running concurrently. Reduced to basics, this show has three men with blue-painted deadpan faces doing slapstick and banging drums, pipes and various improvised percussion instruments. Their highly entertaining performance quickly captures and involves the audience with its humour, stunts, pulsating music, splashing paint and brash antics.
