John Adams

DISNEY HALL

I just bought tickets to Disney Hall to see John Adams conduct John Adams in early December.

We bought 4 cheap seats with a couple of Adam zealots. That means we are behind the orchestra, but facing the baton waving Adams as he leads the musicians in his own creation.

My favorite contemporary composer at my favorite contemporary concert hall with 2 good friends. It doesn't get much better.

If you are not familiar with Adams, here is a taste: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RompnEeeP-g&NR=1 He is worth getting to know.

If you have never been to the sculpture = building in downtown LA created by Frank Gehry, a fellow Canadian and rabid hockey fan, use any excuse to go.

For me, it is important to have events to anticipate with joy.
