Review: ALL WE NEED IS LOVE: SAN FRANCISCO GAY MEN'S CHORUS & SF SYMPHONY at Davies Symphony Hall
There are few things more glorious than over 300 voices raised in perfect harmony. Since 1978 the SFGMC has been a voice for uplifting the LGBTQIA+ community through times of great sorrow and joy. Persevering in the ugly face of intolerance and persecution, the chorus inspired a worldwide choral movement. This summer, they will tour the Midwest where antigay legislation is being enacted. Tuesday’s concert, a high note in their 46th season titled a “Season of Love”, turned Davies Hall into a cathedral, a scared space of inclusion, reverence, and light.

Review: SIMON RATTLE AND THE BRSO AT CARNEGIE HALL at Carnegie Hall
Simon Rattle is possibly the most interesting conductor before the public today. And one thing audiences can count on is that no two performances he conducts will ever be identical. There is no question that he brings forth fire and magical playing. There is no question he bring forth colors that you never heard in a piece before. But sometimes, one wonders if its all simply design just to sound different, not necessarily better than the rest.
