^Excellent job. Well done all. I'm really glad I was online to catch that. Thanks, Jessop!

And to think that was a free concert...!

No worries, Simon! Glad you enjoyed it

Wish I had been able to catch that Grisey, but I just saw these messages now, and in any case, it's moot: I wasn't around during the broadcast time, anyway. 

This weekend, two concerts at Bargemusic, "the floating concert hall." (Yes, it's actually a barge.)

Tonight:

Don Byron Piano Quartet (*Premiere)
Messiaen Quartet for the End of Time

Not classical but still pretty classic; King Crimson in Oslo on Monday With Mel Collins, Tony Levin,, Robert Fripp and some fresh faces in the lineup (not that fresh actualy, I see that some of them have been with band since the 90-ies).

I had no idea King Crimson are still in business.

I've been thinking about it and decided I'm going to attend as many concerts as possible. Or more exactly, if there's a work or composer I want to hear - especially if it's one that's new to me - I'm just going to buy a ticket. What have I got to lose? Also, I'm on my own most of the time now and so that means I can be more flexible in my choices. As an example, this one is part of the afternoon series of concerts.

Tippett - Ritual Dances from The Midsummer Marriage
Britten - Violin Concerto
Antonin Dvorak - Symphony No. 6 in D major, Op 60

BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra 
Daniel Hope  violin
Thomas Dausgaard  conductor

Today I got to hear the Alexander string quartet play Webern, Bartok  Shostakovich, and a newly commissioned work--in my art history classroom! It was incredible. Sitting just a few feet away as they played Shostakovich's 13th Quartet gave me chills. Tomorrow night they do their full public concert, which will include Haydn, Beethoven (the 2nd Razumovsky Quartet), and a repeat performance of Shosty's 13th. Can't wait!

A friend and I have plans to see the Ligeti Quartet at Sheffield University's Firth Hall on the 15th of November, they'll be playing a selection of Ligeti, Bartók, Webern, and Kurtág.
