		<description><![CDATA[Gethsemane has been my favorite song from JCS since I can remember.  The lyrics are evocative and emotional and to hear Ted Neeley sing this live was a dream come true.  No one can feel its power or embody Jesus’ pain, doubt, or resolve more than Ted who has performed this some 2,000 times throughout his career.  It was a moment, and if you need but one reason to see Jesus Christ Superstar in Park City, this is it.  And it’s the reason that I’ll be going back to see it once more before it ends.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people think that going to the ballet really sucks!  But in the case of  Ben Stevenson’s highly acclaimed  Dracula, that was pretty much the point.  Ballet West’s 2011-12 season opener  invited Salt Lake City right into Dracula’s lair, and what we experienced took our breath away!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love the depth that the character Dracula has. I love the individuality of all the Draculas --  Beau Pearson, Christopher Anderson and me -- that we can be such different Draculas. Whether it’s the insane Dracula, the blood hungry Dracula, or the controlling Dracula, there are so many different moods and dimensions to this character. This guy’s been around for hundreds and hundreds of years, and you can only begin to tap into what you think are the emotions that he might have gone through and try to express them. It’s really amazing, the character development that you can do with this guy. And every day, playing with his character is different and changing, and it’s truly unlimited what you can do with this part as far as acting is concerned.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sitting in Symphony Hall once again, I was reminded of the magic of this institution and of this Hall.  There with Keith Lockhart at the podium, the third Pops conductor in the past 80 years, I was surrounded by history and the love and beauty of music.  The Pops will be performing 37 concerts in less than three weeks, and when the day is over, it’s only about one thing…the music!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ballet West opened its 2010-2011 season with George Balanchine’s The Four Temperaments and Carmina Burana. The two ballets were an interesting pairing that worked very well.  The Four Temperaments presented dancers portraying the four humors (basic substances in the body that were once said to make up our state of health), and Carmina Burana is meant to portray life’s Wheel of Fortune with celebration, love, desire, despair and fate.  Each ballet touches upon the core of humanity, reaching directly into our soul.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[St. Paul’s Choir of  Salt Lake City’s St. Paul’s Episcopal Church performed Dvořák’s Requiem. Before the concert, Peter Christie had talked to me about how meaningful this event was to him, as it was not just a concert but a requiem incorporated into an actual Mass.  I was at a church service where a requiem was intended to be heard. ]]></description>

We remember those who have served our country, and we honor those who today spend each breath they take protecting our nation. In remembrance of those who fought in World War II, Rob Gardner and McKane Davis composed The Price of Freedom. Combining orchestra, song and archival video footage, The Price of Freedom shares the stories of 4 soldiers and their loved ones back home.  It is an amazing program.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first dance of the Ballet West Academy Spring Performance was called Retro Shifts. As I sat and watched this intriguing, thoughtful and quietly expressive dance, the word that kept popping into my head was ‘brilliant’.  The Ballet West Academy, its administration and staff have to be commended on their hard work.  The relationships they have formed with each other and their dancers shows in the quality of their dancers, performances and productions.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The University of Utah’s Lyric Opera Ensembles’ production of Dialogues of the Carmelites was my first opera.  No one warned me that I would need to bring a box of Kleenex! I was completely absorbed by the passion and emotion of all that was playing out before me and at the end of the evening, I had a lump in my throat, my stomach was in knots and I was searching my bag for tissues. Dialogues of the Carmelites is an emotional opera and the University of Utah’s Lyric Opera Ensemble is outstanding. Bravo!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This season I was fortunate to be able to attend Utah Symphony performances in Salt Lake City and one of my favorites was Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony. I saw a number of guest conductors and artists present wonderful performances by Mozart, Dvořák, Rachmaninoff and Smetana, and I was particularly moved by Mahler's 2nd Symphony in the Salt Lake Tabernacle led by Keith Lockhart.  The 2009-10 season was remarkable, and the 2010-11 season promises even more!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On May 12th I had a great opportunity to attend a “contemporary” concert in Boston.  Existential Pilot was capping off its spring tour with a concert at First Church in Boston and I received an invitation to attend. Some people hear the word contemporary and they go running for Beethoven or Mozart. I’ve discovered that there are some types of sounds that are really in the ear of the composer, and then there are others that should be in the ears of the patrons. Existential Pilot belongs in the latter category.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How does the Pops celebrate its 125th Season? Class, Tradition and Honor. I haven’t been to any better Pops performances.  What a way to celebrate the Pops’ 125th Anniversary!  The season isn’t finished yet, and the big finale of the summer is always the Pops on the Esplanade for the 4th of July.  Fantastic performances!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you didn’t get a chance to attend the Boston Pops this past week, you missed one heck of a concert! I seem to have a lot of musical firsts, and this Pops concert program was by far my favorite ever. Keith Lockhart and the Pops put together a program that included Hollywood’s and Boston’s elite, 9/11 Rescue workers and local artists, and the programs were so phenomenal that I had to attend twice!  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the curtain raised for Ballet West’s Serenade, the first sound I heard was my own; I caught my breath.  And I wasn’t the only one; In unison, the audience inhaled a silent ‘ahh’, which was immediately followed by applause. The combination of Maestro Terence Kern and the Utah Chamber Orchestra’s  Serenade for Strings (Tchaikovsky) and the ethereal Ballet West dancers bathed in blue was simply breathtaking.  Such serenity, such beauty. It was my favorite ballet moment ever.]]></description>
