I’ll spare you an entire modified-for-blogging Meet Me in St. Louis Trolley song, but just a quick note to say that should you be in St. Louis, M-to-the-O tomorrow night, check out their FOURTH Bloggers’ Night:
Fellow Bloggers,
You’re invited to the SLSO’s fourth Bloggers’ Night, Saturday, April 10, 2010.
The show:
David Robertson, conductor
Gil Shaham, violin
CHRISTOPER ROUSE Rapture
PROKOFIEV Violin Concerto No. 2
SIBELIUS Symphony No. 7
JOHN ADAMS Doctor Atomic Symphony
The deal: If you choose to accept this invitation, you get two tickets to the concert, two drink tickets for the evening, and you’re welcome to join everybody for after-concert drinks at a nearby bar (who knows? The new City Diner may be open!). All you have to do is write about your experience on your blog, then send me the link so I can post it on the slso blog: slso.org/blog.
We meet in the Met Bar before the show and I give you your drink tickets. You’re welcome to take in David Robertson’s Preconcert Perspectives talk in the auditorium at 7pm, as well.
I’m told 14 bloggers have RSVPed so far, which is fantastic! To visit the orchestra’s blog, click here, and if you’d like to join the festivities, e mail Eddie Silva at eddies (at) slso (dot) org. For a brief discussion of their past success, click here.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch, the home team is also having another bloggers’ night. The New York Philharmonic is inviting you to live-blog their second CONTACT concert on April 16th, 8pm at Symphony Space, before which everyone should go to my favorite Indian restaurant, Indus Valley. Their e mail isn’t cut-and-pasteable, about which I will reserve comment, but the long and the short of it is, live-blog the concert and your post will be reposted on www.q2live.org, then guzzle “FREE BEER” (BYO Hot Wings?) courtesy of Brooklyn Brewery. The program can be found on the Philharmonic’s website. If you’re a blogger, e mail Lanore Carr at carrl (at) ny phil (dot) org to RSVP.
Happy weekends to all!
