CIRCUS MAXIMUS
OK, everyone is talking about last weekend's Carnegie Hall premiere of John Corigliano's Third Symphony, Circus Maximus. Supposedly, it's not the coolest thing to happen to the concert band, it's the coolest thing to happen in the concert world. Period.
The BCM boards are abuzz, with Newman and Steve talking about it.
John Mackey is talking about it.
Daniel Montoya is talking about it.
Jualiah is even talking about it!
And you know, I had this gut feeling -- this instinct, that this was going to be an event that should not be missed. And I stood at the precipice of Travelocity, ready to buy that plane ticket to New York City, ready to beg, bribe, or steal a ticket to witness Circus Maximus in all it's predicted splendor... and I paused...
Your feeble attempts to persuade me that it wasn't that good are useless, my overenthusiastic comrades. I missed it. And I regret it.
Damn.
