Concert Review: ‘Women’s Work’ at The Village Trip Festival - Blogcritics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jon Sobel 3 minutes ago Leave a comment 6 Views Words from Eleanor Roosevelt and Edna St. Vincent Millay. Music from Missy Mazzoli and Sarah Kirkland Snyder. Poetry and compositions from a raft of others. It all tolled through St. John’s in the Village in NYC on Tuesday night. Pianist and educator Joan Forsyth had put together a wide-ranging, historically informed program of new music by women, part of the Village Trip Festival. I’ve admired soprano Sharon Harms for some time. She’s always ready
Concert Review: The Horszowski Trio at The Village Trip Festival - Blogcritics (opens the original)

Jon Sobel 1 minute ago Leave a comment 6 Views I’ve traveled the highways and alleys of contemporary and avant-garde music on and off for almost half a century. These days I still listen to a lot of it, and write about it. Yet I still have trouble with certain strains of 20th-century music. Last night’s concert by the Horszowski Trio, part of the Village Trip Festival, served up some wonderful Brahms; a bracing new work by William Kentner Anderson; and an “Homage to the New York School” that tou
Theater Review (NYC): ‘Arias with a Twist’ - Blogcritics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jon Sobel 4 minutes ago Leave a comment 9 Views Arias with a Twist both is and isn’t what – at least in my imagination – it was cracked up to be. A fantasy cabaret starring legendary avant-garde drag performance artist Joey Arias and the visual magic of puppetry mastermind Basil Twist? Has to be a total blast, right? Actually this update of a show first staged in 2008 is pretty bumpy – like Arias’ costume. The numbers and skits span sci-fi, psychedelia, and jazz-age cabaret, all spiked with plen
Music Review: Ramin Heydarbeygi – ‘Echoes of Gusan: Vocal & Instrumental Chamber Music’ - Blogcritics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jon Sobel 39 seconds ago Leave a comment 2 Views A gusan (or gōsān) was a minstrel, or poet-musician, of Persia during late antiquity. More than 30 years ago Ramin Heydarbeygi set short poems by Rudaki, a 9th-century blind harpist and poet in that tradition, to music in a song cycle he titled Gusan. You’ll find it at the end of Echoes of Gusan, a collection of Heydarbeygi’s vocal and instrumental music, where it’s the oldest work. And I could tell, even though I was unfamiliar with the composer’
Concert Review: Victoria Bond’s ‘Tarot Magic in Music’ at the Morgan Library - Blogcritics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jon Sobel 3 minutes ago Leave a comment 4 Views Victoria Bond never seems to disappoint, neither as a composer nor as a concert programmer. Her Cutting Edge Concerts series has for many years presented impactful new music and worthy, sometimes lesser-known performers. And as a composer she has that truly rare ability to construct music as attractive to general audiences as it is interesting for aficionados of experimental contemporary sounds. Both specialties were strongly evident at her one-off
