I found it informative, interesting, revealing about both the musicians and the music, and at some points quite moving.

I particularly appreciated the opportunity to hear intimate pieces presented in an intimate manner, something that is not possible in larger venues. [I only hope that audience members seated up "in the gods" could hear the softer passages as well as I did, sitting near the front.] <br />I do have a complaint--one that applies to a number of concerts at BAM. Why dim the lights between pieces? The important time to establish mood through lighting is during the performances. During the interludes audience members are struggling to read their programs, which for most was only possible by light of mobile telephone. The darkness was particularly frustrating in a program with songs whose lyrics one would like to read in advance. <br />Thanks for your consideration, BAM management.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-81969908232782802702014-09-12T20:18:24.101-04:002014-09-12T20:18:24.101-04:00It was wonderful from start to finish.
