I’ve been working on two ridiculous things. You know how CD release concerts are usually\/mostly boring? Or at the very least, exactly the same as the last one you went to? Right, so, next week and the following week, two people I work for are mixing it up a bit. Both these events are free as birds. <\/p>\n
On Tuesday November 10th, Cantaloupe Music is releasing composer Julia Wolfe’s Dark Full Ride: Music in Multiples<\/em><\/a>. To celebrate, there will be a series of free performances around Manhattan. Does everyone remember the amazing Angel Project<\/a> <\/i>from 2002?<\/i> This is a gesture toward that. Nobody really works anyway, right? So come for some or all of these 20-minute concerts. We’ll all travel together to each performance with Julia and the musicians. Here’s the schedule:<\/p>\n 11AM – “LAD” for 9 bagpipes 12 NOON – “Dark Full Ride” for 4 drumsets 1PM – “Stronghold” for 8 double basses 2:30PM – “my lips from speaking” for 6 pianos I’m already planning my hilarious out-of-office autoreply for that day. <\/p>\n And now for something completely different, since Cecilia Bartoli isn’t touring in the States this season, we’re having a virtual (” “) release party for her on Monday, November 16th. The release party, at (le) poisson rouge<\/a> in (le) West Village, will feature a video recording of Cecilia performing selections from her new album, Sacrificium<\/i><\/a>. The concert was recorded on September 10th, 2009 at the court theater of the Reggia di Caserta. The party will include silly door prizes and a drink called “The Castratini”. <\/p>\n Keep in mind both these things could be completely unattended and I will go crawling back to the sell-tickets-to-a-live-concert-to-celebrate-a-release-in-one-place method after pounding Castratinis alone. I’ll keep you posted. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been working on two ridiculous things. You know how CD release concerts are usually\/mostly boring?
