Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Bruce Levingston

In order to really take you somewhere a performance has to open a window to another, higher plane of existence. This is that show.

This weekend saw the New York première of Philip Glass' complete Piano Etudes. Produced by Glass’ long-time collaborator Linda Brumbach, the dazzling showcase divided the 20 etudes equally among the ten performers.

To open the second half of its 50th anniversary season, Boston Ballet presents a trio of contemporary works that showcases the company’s ever expanding repertory and deepening talent pool with Close to Chuck Reborn.

‘There's no such thing as new music, just music’, Bruce Levingston remarked halfway through the 10th anniversary gala concert for the ‘Premiere Commission’ Monday night. After hearing the evening’s performances, it feels impossible to disagree.The two opening piano pieces were like impressions, snapshots of emotions from a particular place or time.
