“…an incredible feel of camaraderie, bustle, excitement and…well, richness.” We’re guessing that you love Scott Chamberlain’s writings and reflections on music & performance & culture as much as we do (in fact, many of you have told us so!). So be sure to read his latest blog post, a review of last weekend’s MN Orchestra concert. Here’s the link: https://maskoftheflowerprince.wordpress.com/2015/02/04/romeo-and-juliet-at-the-orchestra/
He closes with “If this concert is any indication, you simply cannot afford to miss any of the upcoming Shakespeare Winterfest concerts. Get thee to the boxoffice!” We agree! Here’s where to get info and tickets: http://www.minnesotaorchestra.org/buy/special-events/shakespeare-winterfest
Thanks, Scott! You’re the best!
