Bloggers at Swarm

Last Thursday, a group of bloggers were invited out to Jack London Square to check out the awesomeness that is Swarm Gallery and Studios.

A very up-and-coming art space, I'd recommend it to anyone. Studios are for rent in the back, and are equipped with windows so that visitors can see art in its finished form in front, and more works in progress in the back. Such a cool concept!
Gallery director Svea Lin Vezzone, discussed the gallery's beginnings and longer term goals at length.

Thanks for having us, Swarm!



Next week, bloggers come to us!

Wagner in the 21st Century

Go Richard Wagner!!

I'd really like to know exactly what inspired this extreme popularity, and the search will continue. No matter. It's great when the general public acknowledges classical music.

Notable listening for week of 10/01

I did a horrible job of keeping track of the notables this week. Work was way too insane to even keep up with the mound of stuff on my desk. Here are the few gems I managed to jot down:

Ottorino Respighi: Gli Uccelli (The Birds)
William Grant Still: Danzas de Panama
Fela Sowande: African Suite
Edvard Grieg: Piano Concerto in e
Claude Debussy: Printemps
Antonin Dvorak: The Wood Dove
Erik Satie: Gnossiennes

Better luck next week...
