Weekend performance report on the way soon
As soon as I can, I'll be offering separate reports on a very active weekend of music in Baltimore.
Meanwhile, here's a teaser of the reviews:
Opera Vivente's production of The Coronation of Poppea -- some really fine singing, a jolt of really un-fine singing, wonderful orchestral playing, mostly effective staging.
Concert Artists of Baltimore -- a welcome celebration of the Mendelssohn bicentennial, lots of vibrant music-making, not so much elegance where it could have done the most good.
Music in the Great Hall -- a very imaginative program of art songs, mostly polished singing, exceptionally stylish piano accompaniment.
Shriver Hall Concert Series -- a bold choice of repertoire delivered by a superlative string quartet and top-notch guest artists.
Stay tuned, treasured blog-ites, for the juicy details.
