I never thought I\u2019d describe a musical evening at the Frick Collection as odd. I do after the debut performance of the pianist, Joseph Moog. The musical selections and arrangements suited the late Jos\u00e9 Iturbi\u2019s very 1940\u2019s movie music. If only the Frick had arranged to have skimpily clad girls rise on a floating fountain and Esther Williams diving off the ceiling. The (un)repentant Magdalena in the next room could have joined in. Afterwards, we had fun and delicious food at nearby Le Charlot.<\/p>\n

Lucinda Childs Dance Company is at the Joyce. We went to a thrilling performance of DANCE, first performed in 1979. A film of the original production was flashed on the stage as the modern dancers, like champion race horses, galloped across the stage to Philip Glass\u2019s throbbing music. We were practically part of the action since we were seated in the second row.<\/p>\n

Once again down memory lane. This time it was with Merce Cunningham\u2019s Beach Birds<\/em> (1991). Eleven dancers recreated most of the piece in one of the City Center studios on 56th Street. John Cage\u2019s liquid tone, barely audible, set a dreamy, quiet atmosphere. It was forty minutes of sustained pleasure. Among the superb dancers were Mac Twining and Monica Gonzalez.<\/p>\n
