South to Lincoln Center
At David Geffen Hall, Lincoln Center, the orchestra—with solos by clarinetist Anthony McGill and flutist Demarre McGill— presented the New York premiere of A More Perfect Union. It was a program of firsts, with a world premiere of Change Thy Course by Hannah Ishizaki, as well.
Art on the Hudson
Lynn Brady and friends traveled to Beacon, New York, to view the Dia Beacon Museum’s contemporary art collection. Here are a few samples of the works displayed:
Oh, Olana!
For those who have never spoken with her, you may not be aware that long-time US citizen Amanda Slattery hailed originally from England. As such, she is a valiant member of the Daughters of the British Empire. She and three other “daughters” recently took themselves up to Greenport, New York to tour Olana, the home/museum Frederic Church, of Hudson River School art fame.
