What a show!! You…read morecan always count on The Nutcracker to put you in the holiday spirit. The lobby alone will do that for ya. I mean look at this lobby! Christmas trees, chandeliers, nutcrackers, lights, balconies, ugh I just love the elegance and quintessential Christmas energy. Talk about TALENT. This show is no joke. This is ballet at its truest and finest form. These artists make ballet look easy (and it is far from it) so I applaud every single person in this show. Boston Ballet performers are absolutely phenomenal. What's so amazing, aside from the show, is watching people file in and noticing the crowd ranges anywhere from 7 year olds to 70 year olds. Anyone can come, watch, and enjoy. Truly a perfect outing for you and your whole family, with friends, or solo! Highly recommend catching The Nutcracker!

This is a fantanstic place to catch a bit of classical music…read more I attended a show right before the Holiday season. It was so delightful to hear the selection of pieces ranging from arrangements for flute, viola, cello to one for clarinet and the piano piece by Tchaikovsky was beautiful. The multitiered seating was a surprise for such a small building. I am really considering coming back for more shows later on in the season.

Ok, after all these years I finally MUST review my beloved alma mater. I can't believe I've waited…read moreso long! This experience totally changed my life for the better. Permanently. I can't truly describe what this high education meant to me at the time and even now. We're talking about the nineties, in which I graduated with a masters of music degree from this prestigious internationally recognized institution along with some of the best international talent in the classical music world! I mean to name just one, the renowned mezzo Denyce Graves was a colleague! Attending NEC is easily one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I ended up here, as opposed to Juilliard, Eastman, or another top conservatory because I did my homework! I am a true coloratura soprano and I heard some of the best professional coloraturas in the business and inquired who their instructors had been. The same names kept popping up. Among them was the illustrious Helen Hodam, so I wrote her a letter of introduction and headed from Miami to Boston for the dreaded audition. Best possible news-She accepted me as a student and was able to help get me some scholarship funding. I still can't believe how lucky I am to achieve my dream. The things I learned and the experience I was exposed to can't be measured. I've sung professionally ever since and the technique lasts forever. Also, the closest friendships with even my talented BFF last to this day. Miss Hodam has sadly passed on, but the tradition continues on. I couldn't be prouder to hail from the great oldest free standing conservatory in the US. Thank you, NEC. May you stand throughout the next millennium!

It was and still is one of the favorite places for students to practice and pick up some extra cash. LOL I undestand, Government Center was one of the most profitable. Since then, depending on what city we lived in, we have always found some alum. Many were church organists, but some were voice majors who were paid section leaders and fill-ins on Sundays with the choral. It makes you appreciate how successful graduates of NE Conservatory become in life. Nice!

We attended the Vivo Jazz, Latin, and Klezmer performance that was part of Clarinet weekend…read more Performers Juan Ruiz, Camila Cortina, Itay Dayan, and members of the Klezmer Conservatory Band. They were incredible! This was a small setting, about 150 attendees, at the Multicultural Arts Center in East Boston. It was part of the Neighborhoods Arts Concert Series. The staff are welcoming, and the seats were individual chairs - very comfortable without view obstruction, and the setting was open with great acoustics. It is not often that you can get so close to such world class performers. After, there was a reception after for all attendees with great sandwiches, fresh fruit, cookies, and non-alcoholic beverages. This concert series is free!! It is easy to get there on the MBTA Green Line; a 5 minute walk from the Lechmere station. Tomorrow there is a Classical concert at the same location. Arrive a little early if you want a seat; and keep in mind that they are limited by capacity rules. The Neighborhood Arts series is well worth attending! Thank you Vivo Performing Arts!

We saw Ada and the Engine on Friday. First time ever being at the Burlington players…read more The show itself was lovely. The performance space is unconventional and definitely poses challenges with such a low ceiling, and the shape of the room. They put on a good show though. They found some good solutions for Ada and the engine. Tickets can be bought on their website or at the box office. They have a lobby and sell chips, chocolate, drinks and popcorn before and during intermission. Definitely worth checking out But if it's wet, don't wear nice shoes - the walkway to the entrance was a bit muddier than I would have wanted to walk through.
