The Chi Phil Chamber Players join spectacular virtuoso Jory Vinikour on May 5 2018 in a harpsichord extravaganza with musical selections from traditional Bach to Chicagoan composer William Ferris to Indiana University Jacobs School of Music professor Juan Orrego Salas. Headlining the program is a rare performance and Chicago premiere of 20th century Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ned Rorem's Concertino da Camera. This piece, which was written in 1946 in the early stages of Rorem's prolific career, was thought long-lost until it resurfaced and was heard publicly at the University of Minnesota for the first time in 1993. Vinikour, known for his "spectacular displays of virtuosity and subtle dramatic expression" (Bachtrack, 2011), brings Rorem's work to life as deftly as he performs works by well-known masters.

The opening night of Geneva, Switzerland's Ballet du Grand Theatre de Geneve, at the Joyce Theater, on April 24, 2018 was lit up with ballet stars in the audience. I have been watching this worthwhile contemporary ballet company since the 1980's, and I was delighted to be there when they opened the current program in NYC. Since the '80s, under the direction of brilliant Argentinean choreographer Oscar Araiz, this ballet company became an exemplary contemporary ballet company. Since 2003 Philippe Cohen has been the Artistic Director, bringing top contemporary choreographers to work with the company.
