September? You can have it
Sit down. Please don’t be mad, okay? But… I’m taking September off.
Yes, all of it. AB is almost four years old and in that time the longest vacation I’ve taken has been two weeks. In 2010. So – it’s time to refresh! Recover! Re-evaluate! Rejuvenate! Renew! Other words that begin with re-!
The concert season is only just beginning; make sure you check out the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, and Strathmore websites to keep abreast of the latest concerts and events.
If you’re feeling bereft without me (and who wouldn’t?) you’ve got almost four years of archives to investigate!
Or you could listen to this playlist over and over. It’s practically the same as hanging out with me.
The Feline Fine Symphony
I can offer no real justification for this video. But then, do you need one?
Honor. Glory. Fantasia
You know how much I love Fantasia, right? Like, really love it? A lot? Okay, now that we’ve established a baseline, HOW COOL IS THIS?!
Yeah. That’s what I thought. Here’s more info on the video game in question, Fantasia: Music Evolved.
On a completely different and much less impressive note, I would now like to do something I haven’t done in quite some time: award a Medal of Violar. Tom Sharpe has been commenting on posts with his own puns, quips, and bad jokes, and that’s the kind of can-do spirit we here at Ain’t Baroque like to see. And we here at Ain’t Baroque consists of a girl and two cats who are also girls, so you know we’re hard to impress. Mr. Sharpe, please let me know how you would like your medal engraved, which is to say, how you’d like to be listed on the Medal of Violar page.
An elephant never forgets how to play the piano
If only Saint-Saens had seen this. Carnival of the Animals could have been so much more LITERAL.
Care to add anything, Mr. Ed?
No concert roundup this week because we’re in that late summer drought area where there are no concerts. I hope you will accept this humble substitution.
When the tuba is wearing a bowler hat, you know you’re in a good place
Is that a piccolo in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
