3. Musical The Addams Family at Wheelock Family Theater as the kid's belated birthday celebration

4. #Ligeti100 by the Boston Symphony Chamber Players + Tom Adés & Kirill Gerstein. The Ligeti 2 piano was mind-blowing. And Adés's Növények is absolutely brilliant.

Interesting also that Vienna chose to do it in German and Frankfurt in English. The upcoming semi-staged performance in Paris will be in French. And Munich’s production next June will also be the English version. #LeGrandMacabre #Ligeti100

Boston Symphony Orchestra honors Ligeti’s birthday — minus the orchestra - The Boston Globe Conductor Thomas Adès drastically reduced the BSO’s instrumentation to lead Ligeti’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra with pianist Kirill Gerstein.
