People Are Talking: UMS presents Alison Balsom & The Scottish Ensemble at Hill Auditorium:
Hearing Ms. Balsom in Hill Auditorium was, literally, a dream come true. Her technique, phrasing, and musicality on a natural trumpet was nothing short of astonishing. The Scottish Ensemble provided wonderful color for her sound. PLEASE bring them back soon! The best part? Looking around the auditorium and seeing hundreds of fellow trumpeters, each and every one smiling ear to ear. Thanks, UMS!!!!
People Are Talking: UMS presents The Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis at Hill Auditorium:
We had a magical evening. JLCO was tight, technical, and joyously talented. It was so much fun to watch them decide what would happen in the next 8 bars! Utter talent, controlled simplicity combined with love.
People Are Talking [and Video Booth]: Einstein on the Beach at Power Center:
People are talking — across the country! We won’t see the opera til Sunday’s performance, but just sending links to friends from UMS Lobby resulted in this message this evening from a friend on the East Coast: “WOW, as we type, my son is doing a presentation and report about Einstein…now he gets to include how Einstein has influenced art, music, theater, philosophy… too!”
