Nicholas Alstaedt, the cellist, made his NY recital debut in the Frick Music Room on February 21. He and Alexander Lonquich, the pianist, have impeccable credentials. Their choice of music was perfect. I had never appreciated Nadia Boulanger until I heard her Three Pieces for Cello and Piano. The recital included works by Debussy, Britten, Beethoven and Webern.<\/p>\n

Wonderful Saturday afternoon with an outstanding Symphony in C, music by Bizet and choreography by Balanchine. The dancers are like race horses, aren\u2019t they? Powerful, agile animals with very strong legs. Dancing in close proximity, they could maim each other. The conductor, Clotilde Otranto, gave us a wonderful afternoon. She came on stage and was dwarfed by the tall dancers.<\/p>\n

A very Happy Year of the Monkey. Old friends celebrate the New Year annually, thanks to the hard work of one of our members. We\u2019ve met at the Evergreen for years.<\/p>\n

Begin the week with the Frick. End the week with the New York City Ballet. Only in NYC, folks.<\/p>\n

Steve Kulchek and one of the members of his team, King, ate in \u2018wichcraft. Both had one of the breakfast all day items on the menu.<\/p>\n
