Watching today's Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Day concert on #GreatPerformancesPBS conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Kudos to him for including several pieces of music written by women composers including Florence Price.

What a wonderful way to end my year in performances! Show No.81 of the year, Wonder the musical at American Repertory Theatre. The talentted casts, the musical numbers, the direction, just brilliant all around. Won't be surprised if it transfers to B'way! #choosekindness

He's not singing at the Met either.
'The Met is now history: he won’t go there again. “I felt very bad about how they treated the chorus and orchestra in the pandemic. They didn’t get paid at all. Musicians had to move out of New York or move in with their parents.”'

NWS says we could get some snow Tuesday. But a white Christmas? Maybe not: Although the Greater French Toast Area might get an inch, it might also be washed out when the precip turns to rain. Still, worth an upgrade from 1 to 2 Slices.

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!
