Abridgments to nowhere (in particular)

Pianist Leon Fleisher opened the Chamber Music Society of Minnesota's season this past Sunday. Read the Minneapolis Star-Tribune review. Apparently this Fleisher fellow has something to say... We'll get a chance to hear this giant of the piano on October 3 with a group of his amazingly accomplished former students.

Pianist Lang Lang has written two new books (one for adults, one for younger folks). We will see Lang Lang at Symphony Hall in March. He will be playing the piano, not giving a reading...

You've been waiting patiently, now here it is, the Lilly Pulitzer piano.

Soprano Isabel Bayrakdarian released her most recent CD, Tango Notturno, back in March (for some reason I'm just getting around to mentioning it now). You can buy the CD here. You can buy tickets to her October 19 concert (a tribute to Armenian composer Gomidas) with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra here.

T-shirt of the day: "Nature Rocks." I would have thought nature swings or plays a nice symbiotic minuet, but maybe that's why I don't make t-shirts for a living.
