Feb 2026 is off to a good start!

First concert today American Road Trip, the last offering in @bostonsymphony.bsky.social's E Pluribus Unum festival, with violinist Augustin Hadelich and pianist Orion Weiss playing music by American composers.

Hadelich is simply stunning!

Sunday's Globe today: I chatted with Boston Ballet's Chenxin Liu, who just danced through "Nutcracker" season while five months pregnant, and learned about what dancers might need if they're going to balance a baby bump at the ballet barre.

I love that we live in a walkable neighborhood.

yesterday afternoon when I was walking the kid to his performance with the jazz band at a local restaurant, he received a 20-min talk from me about Beaumarchais's trilogy and the 3 famous da Ponte-Mozart operas.
