... week is our orchestra concert - we're doing a bunch of Christmas music (probably too much!) and Swan Lake Suite, yay, big oboe solo right up front! And all the fun little dances, some of which have nasty little parts. But all very doable, nothing too stressful this year (so far). I'm playing for a church cantata later in the month, sort of weird to have all this available time since...

... where my window looks out to, sending those Jacarandas pirouetting like punctilious dancers in Swan Lake . For a split second, I am reminded of the northeast monsoon that usually sends flashfloods to KL around this time of the year. But more so, the summer rain in November brings me back to a time when it was raining in Saigon, and when a certain someone was there to shield me from...

... are the ones in Fortnum and Mason, designed in celebration of Michael Bourne’s production of Swan Lake at Sadler’s Wells . As I said earlier though, I’ve only just scratched the surface - the windows at Harvey Nichol’s, Liberty’s and Selfridges are among the many I have still to see.

Tchaikovsky was not enthusiastic about his commission to write music for the Nutcracker ; which Pacific Northwest Ballet is staging for the 26th holiday season in a row. In 1891, ballet composers were expected to turn out disposable oom-pah fluff, and Tchaikovsky's 1877 Swan Lake m...

Here's the amazing Leonid Sarafanov performing his pirouettes. I missed seeing these back in November 2006 when he left out the entire coda or solo variation in the Kirov's Swan Lake. This guy is a beautiful dancer so when he leaves out cor., it's only natural to feel robbed.

... This magical collection reminds me of 'The Chronicles of Narnia' perhaps with a touch of 'Swan Lake'... For this collection, Olivier Theyskens said he wanted "to introduce a new wave of cool—something urban and gray-ish, but nonchalant, fragile, and superlight". He surely succeeded in doing so with teardrop-shaped down-filled blousons, twisted sweater dresses, and...

How many projects is too many projects? If you're Bob Pollard, trick question: there's no such thing. If you're most musicians, one or two should be enough. If you're Spencer Krug, the answer lies somewhere between the range of “Bob Pollard” and “most musicians.” Indeed, the man splits his time between quite a few endeavors (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Swan Lake,...
