Judson Memorial Church was packed on Easter Sunday. The clergy conducted the service, the choir sang with gusto and the cooks arranged the parishioners\u2019 gifts of food – ham anyone?- A few brave women revived the Easter bonnet tradition.We were asked to write on a strip of ribbon what we treasured most and then hang the ribbon on the line pictured in the photo. Buddhism + United Church of Christ?<\/p>\n

Eug\u00e8ne Green\u201ds Sapienza was showing at Film Forum. The photography is wonderful.It\u2019s a thoughtful, formal whirlwind tour of Borromini\u2019s architecture. How do you determine your love of a place? One of my ways is its architecture.<\/p>\n

A delicious dinner at Molyvos preceded a Carnegie Hall evening with Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock. Do these musicians walk on water? The multiage audience thought so. We were seated in the central balcony which is five stairways north. We were surrounded by fans who were utterly silent during the music and gloriously rowdy when applauding. Did you see The Red Shoes? There\u2019s a scene in the Covent Garden peanut gallery showing the passion of the poor, young, talented students. I thought of that at Carnegie Hall. As much as I admire Hancock\u2019s and Corea\u2019s work, the real stars were the audience.
\nOn Friday, I spent a civilized two hours in the Frick\u2019s Music Room. Clinton Luckett, ABC\u2019s ballet master, stood ramrod straight and explained in a too soft voice the convoluted origins of the Don Quixote ballet. Excerpts from the ballet were performed by ABC artists. It was so precious we could have been encased in a Faberg\u00e9 egg.<\/p>\n
