People Are Talking: UMS presents The San Francisco Symphony American Mavericks Festival:
I think my favorite part about the concert tonight was where I was sitting; in the very front row! It was so neat to see each performer’s face (especially during the Cage piece). I found it rather funny to watch MTT gulp down a very chunky smoothie made of cucumbers, carrots, and bananas, and play it off as if it were delicious (well, maybe it was?). The Cage piece especially made me ask questions such as “what is art,” “can anything be art,” and “do the performers have to believe that what they are performing is art in order to give a committed performance?”

The San Francisco Symphony gave a very passionate performance tonight! The group played with incredible blend and togetherness. I was especially delighted by Mr. Denk, who even played tone clusters with such care and commitment.
People Are Talking: UMS presents The Andersen Project by Robert Lepage at The Power Center:
Yves Jacques displayed incredible talent in representing each individual character. It is incredible how a complete narrative was formed, even though there was only ever one man on the stage. The combination of acting, lights, video, music, and more worked together to create an enthralling and surreal experience. Thank you, UMS, for bringing this into the Renegade series!
