Heard Moby’s Porcelain today, which reminded me that I haven’t typed up my blog about his concert yet! (I usually jot down notes and type them up later) So here we go… 8 months late 🙂 16 June 2009, Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall Can’t believe I’m admitting this – but yes, I like Moby. … More Moby @ Ornette Coleman’s Meltdown
28 January 2010, Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London Sometimes I forget how universal music is. Watching Barenboim rehearse the Berlin Staatskapelle in German.. I am reminded that whenever I watch an orchestra perform, I never think: they might not speak the same language that I do. And so I’m watching them with fascination as … More Barenboim / Berlin Staatskapelle Open Rehearsal
16 October 2009, Sadler’s Wells Peacock Theatre, London The most amazing juggling I have ever seen. He was slick, quick and flawless. The duet trapeze artists were also amazing. Two women hung off a single trapeze bar, intertwining, twisting, flipping, balancing, using each other to do turns and rolls… The show had a very retro … More Circus Cirkor: Inside Out
11 July 2009, Royal Albert Hall, London Lang Lang and Herbie Hancock’s Rhapsody in Blue (Gershwin) was fantastic. The way it was arranged really brought out the best of their talents – Lang Lang, classical and Herbie, Jazz. For the earlier part of the evening, they played predominantly classical pieces and a piece where they … More Lang Lang and Herbie Hancock
29 July 2009, Roundhouse, London Really enjoyed this! Haven’t seen anything like it before, and it was great going with someone who was really excited about it. I love being around people who want to share things they are passionate about, as that’s often how I feel. Simian Mobile Disco is made up of two … More Simian Mobile Disco: iTunes Festival
7 June 2009, Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London. I was the only person in the office that was excited about seeing Kodo again! Hehe, they are brilliant, I love them. It’s a little cheesy, especially when they come out in sumo underwear and play the huge drum, but the technical skills they have are … More Kodo: One World
28 June 2009, Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall Really enjoyed this show. Haven’t seen much cabaret before (this wasn’t too full on cabaret though) and hadn’t heard of Camille O’Sullivan till very recently. She’s so eccentric.. but totally in character for what she does. Her version of David Bowie’s Rock n’ Roll Suicide was awesome. … More Camille O’Sullivan: The Dark Angel
8 May 2009, Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, London This absolutely rocked. The movie was beautiful (it won an Oscars for best animated short film in 2008), the live orchestra was fantastic and most of all, the kids in the audience made the experience heartwarming. Some parts set the kids off giggling and when hearing … More Peter & the Wolf: Live on Stage
