eep, eep! weep

[elegentry]

eep!! Hesperion XXI are coming to Oz!! I have been thinking it is Waay too long since I have been to live gigs of pretty much any description. giddyaunt  had a brochure. Ooh how exciting. Except...They are playing in Hamer Hall- yuck, yucky, yuck. I could cry, think I nearly did. I swore I would not spend any more money and time being wildly disappointed in the HORRIBLE accoustics of that NASTY place. Dead, dead dead sound. . I have seen His Gloriousness Andreas Scholl and the goddess Kirkby there. Note I correctly said SEEN. Not you may note heard. OH, I can't wait for the new recital hall to be finished! I sat at the Scholl gig with my hands cupped behind my ears and STILL couldn't hear. Weep.

So. Jordi Savall is doing a recital at melb uni somewhere. I am trying to get a ticket to that. Though I really want to hear Monserrat Figuras sing. I could pay my $91 but still not hear her sing so I shan't.


Update- more playing with the ticket site offered up a seat in the choir stalls. I weakened. The sound might still be bad but I REALLY want to see these people. So I pays my money and I takes my chance.

When and where at Melbin Yewni?

Maybe I can get you a ticket somehow - depends on where and what.

Oh what a nice idea, ta for thought. Trinity College Chapel, 7pm Mon 24th Nov. I have emailed for a place, maybe find out tomorrow if that works.

Hmm - not part of the Faculty, not sure what strings I have at Trinity.

Let me know how you go.

Btw - photos of today are very nearly up and done. (see my latest post).
