South Shore Indie Music Festival at Fuller Craft Museum

// Music

By Meghan Richter BROCKTON (June 11, 2016) —Rain or shine, the show must go on! That was definitely the case at this year’s South Shore Indie Music Festival. This event was nuanced, and included live music, crafting and a beautiful natural setting. When the rain washed performers, viewers, and vendors alike into the museum, the day was far from ruined. Within the galleries of Fuller Craft, there were six gorgeous exhibitions — including the ongoing “Traditions and Innovations: Fuller Craft Museum Collects” — for festival-goers to meander through loftily, while listening to talented local artists play edgy and original music. “The Faces of Politics: In/Tolerance” (running until August 21) reflected some of the social and political themes also raised by some of the musical guests. “Paper and Blade: Modern Paper Cutting” (on view through July 31) was a particularly striking gallery … [Read more...] about South Shore Indie Music Festival at Fuller Craft Museum

SIX DAYS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

// Exhibits, January/February 2016, Music, Visual Arts

EPPRIDGE’S TIMELESS LOOK AT THE FAB FOUR by Brian Goslow Danbury, Connecticut - It was, inarguably, one of those moments in which everything changed. On February 9, 1964, The Beatles played on the Ed Sullivan Show for the first time, setting Beatlemania into full gear and sparking a cultural shift that still echoes today. Photojournalist Bill Eppridge documented the Fab Four’s first tour of the United States for Life magazine, taking “Three thousand images on 90 rolls of film” — only four of which ended up being printed in the publication at the time. “Bill was in the Life magazine offices early on the day that the Beatles were scheduled to arrive at JFK Airport,” said Eppridge’s wife, Adrienne Aurichio. “The director of photography, Dick Pollard, saw Bill and asked him if he wanted to shoot their arrival. It was not planned as a six-day assignment. Bill turned it into … [Read more...] about SIX DAYS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD

Boston Ballet presents Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler at the Boston Opera House

// Music, Theatre

By James Foritano Boston, Mass. - The “Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler,” choreographed by the renowned John Neumeier and performed on Thursday, October 22, by the Boston Ballet on the stage of the Boston Opera House, brought the audience repeatedly to their feet with cheering, clapping and foreign-sounding cries of approval.   I, on the other hand didn’t award my approval until what looked to me like an overcrowded stage gave way gradually, mercifully to fewer dancers with more space.   My parsimony, approval wise, was probably more a matter of personal esthetics, than expert judgment. I’ve seen traffic cops respond to an impossible glut of traffic at rush hour with absolutely balletic virtuosity, urging on and calming heated horsepower with memorable command. But is it art, or traffic control?   At least a million dancers, with helicoptering arms and … [Read more...] about Boston Ballet presents Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler at the Boston Opera House
