The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is holding its first contest through Twitter, the newest social networking site that allows users to send and receive updates from other users. These messages, known as “tweets,” are text based messages that are limited to 140 characters. Through tweets, the BSO will deliver clues leading users to the hidden location of the last pair of Trey Anastasio tickets. To sweeten the deal, the winner will also receive a dinner for two at a local restaurant before the concert. The first clue, delivered on Tuesday, April 21, read “Phishing for the last two Trey Anastasio tickets? Be the first to arrive at our secret location on May 5 @ 5pm.” Additional clues will be posted throughout the week. Since announcing the contest to the public, the BSO has gained more than 200 followers on Twitter.

Trey Anastasio will join the BSO for one night only on Thursday, May 21, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. The sold-out program features the East Coast premiere of Anastasio’s composition Time Turns Elastic, as well as several Phish classics. Today, the BSO released an additional 100 tickets for purchase on Ticketmaster.com.

Musicals tend to speak until the emotion of the moment just "has" to break out in song - unless it's something like "Mama Mia" where the dialog is the rails we travel on between songs; the songs themselves, written before the concept of the musical, are the focus of the production, while the story is secondary. Operas are a different beast. The music provides emotion to the words spoken, but it also plays the role of ambience when there is only action. In &quo

The Fauré Quartett continues to add authoritative recordings to the chamber music catalog with their new recording of two Brahms quartets, available from Deutsche Grammophon on January 12, 2010. These large, some say symphonic, works test the limits of technical and musical capabilities, and the Fauré Quartett once again proves why they are one of the most acclaimed ensembles performing today. Within a short period of time the Fauré Quartett has conquered the great concert halls of London , Paris , Berlin , Amsterdam , Brussels , Geneva , Hamburg , Frankfurt, Milan , Buenos Aires , Rio de Janeiro and elsewhere. “They attract superlatives wherever they go,” wrote The Strad following a concert at London ’s Wigmore Hall, while the Süddeutsche Zeitung praised them for a performance that “brought tremendous pleasure by highlighting interpretative details that had scarcely ever been heard before”. The Fauré Quartett strives to achieve a unique sound for Brahms (as indeed for every work)
