Late-breaking news...
I'll be at Mostly Mozart two nights next week to host pre-concert talks. First up: On Monday the 20th, I'll be sitting down with Osvaldo Golijov & Kent Tritle to discuss the Monteverdi Vespers of 1610.
A couple of additional Monday night notes: before the talk, run up to the South Plaza at Lincoln Center to see some dear old friends of ours (of WKCR vintage) play. Then--and on another personal note--between the talk and the 8:00 concert, see if you can't run *back* up to hear a bit of Les Yeux Noirs, Mick Maloney, and Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks at the Josie Robertson Plaza. (I hear through the grapevine that Vince, whom I'm sure you've heard on/in many films (including some classic Woody Allen fare), just wrapped up work on the new Sam Mendes movie.)
Way back when, MMFCC and I were really lucky to have Vince agree to play our wedding...Molly, are you listening? (And a belated mazel tov to you!)
Then, on Friday the 24th, I will be back again at the festival with MM MD/conductor Louis Langree (and additional guests TBA) to discuss the festival's closing night pairing of the Mozart Requiem with an intriguing assortment of Latin American choral music.
