Please, Parsifal, translate and tell me... Is The andalucian dogs (sic) the piece the will perform...?

Parsifal said...

Hey Mei! No, the Andalucian Dogs is a group that features Gustavo Santaolalla (Academy Award Winner for his music for BABEL and wonder-boy of the international "vanguardia", i think he's also member of one of the groups i love, Bajofondo). They will perform AYRE which is a series of sefardita (sephardi) songs, but also Bartok's Quartet No.1 and traditional hungarian songs.

Thanks, Parsifal, for your quick response... I'll get information obout Golijov's music... ;)

I'll try to go, but I think that the ticket prices are shamefully expensive, the cheapest one at the back end of the balcony at 30 euros! Anyone finds that cheap? Αιδώς Αργείοι...

Parsifal said...

Totally! And that's the only reason i won't go (unless i get an invitation). The Renee Fleming Gala is A LOT cheaper, so is the Bolshoi Boris Godunov or the Robert Carsen Midsummer's Night Dream...
