Wednesday==>It is bright and cold here in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World. At noon it is only 39º, with wind chill it feels like 32º. Yes, once again the wind, steady @ 15 mph, is a huge factor in being out and about. Oh well ...
Let’s get started with your favorite blogger’s report card on last night’s entertainment event ...
NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA @ Avery Fisher Hall, featuring works by Strauss and Rouse==>EXCELLENT, as usual.
The highlight of the evening for me was the final number, Strauss - Also sprach Zarathustra, which featured Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow on violin. Dicterow has been the Concertmaster since 1980 and will be retiring at the end of this season to join the faculty of the USC Thornton School of Music in Los Angeles
Yep, this concert was just what I needed for my classical music fix.
When the concert was over it was way-too-cold to even consider walking back to the apartment. Again, it was the wind.
Moving on ...
Tonight’s entertainment event is a Broadway show ...
7:00==>THE SNOW GEESE - “With World War I raging abroad, newly widowed Elizabeth Gaesling gathers her family for their annual shooting party to mark the opening of hunting season in rural, upstate New York. But Elizabeth is forced to confront a new reality as her carefree eldest son comes to terms with his impending deployment overseas and her younger son discovers that the father they all revered left them deeply in debt. Together, the family must let go of the life they've always known.” (Broadway - complimentary ticket)
This show stars Tony and Emmy winner Mary-Louise Parker. It has received mixed reviews, is playing at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on West 47th Street, has a running time of 2:10, with intermission, and runs through December 15th.
In closing ...
I don’t know how the rest of you loyal and faithful readers and followers feel, but I am more than tired with all of the so-called jokes spewing out of the TV about Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and his use of crack cocaine.
Sorry ... but having lost two close friends to crack addiction I just don’t find anything funny about it. Jus sayin’.
