Stefan Jackiw encores and Sweet Honey In The Rock

Though they were announced from the stage last night, in the interest of being all things to some people, here are the encores selections from violinist Stefan Jackiw and pianist Max Levinson's recital last night at Jordan Hall:



Chopin, Nocturne in C-sharp minor, Op. 27, No.1 (trans. Nathan Milstein)
Fritz Kreisler, La Gitana ("The Gypsy")

Also this past weekend: Sweet Honey In The Rock (website, blog) made its Celebrity Series debut Saturday night at Symphony Hall. The near (very near) sell-out audience was completely attuned to these a-capella vocal masters from the first note sung. Clapping and chants began before the singing did, creating the feeling that the performance was a continuation of a concert/rite/scene already in progress, like walking into a really great party. I will post a set list if it can be had.
