Hey boys, the trombonist sounds very hip, but sadly is not the day that I've targeted....I was planning on May 28th. And May 14th is the day of Joe Lovano, n'est ce pas Derek? Let's see if we can find something equally groovy for the 28th (not to suggest you shouldn't go see Billy Carn on the 14th). Re pick 5, I like the Vengerov/Shostakovich night, also liked the so far unmentioned Shosto night with the two cello concertos (which are beautiful) and the eleventh symphony - which is dark and dramatic, Feb 15 and 16. Also interested in the John Adams and the new music on that bill. The April 6th Hungarian night with Kodaly, Liszt, and Bartok looks pretty great too.
