Hey everyone!
Figured I would ask this popular question, since it is always interesting to hear what people are listening to and attending!
I will start:
Technically the last concert I went to was the tonebase community concert! Was so awesome to hear and see all of the talented members of our community playing - can't wait for next month's Springtime Recital!
You can still sign up, via the forums!
But more recently I went to see the Sequoia Symphony perform a concert consisting of
GALA FLAGELLO | VITALITY
PRICE | PIANO CONCERTO IN ONE MOVEMENT
BEETHOVEN | SYMPHONY NO. 3the pianist was Joshua Mhoon, conductor was Bruce Kiesling, and the concert was fantastic!
I haven't heard Beethoven's 3rd symphony in a while, so it was great to imagine how revolutionary it was for its time: the offbeats, syncopations, and dissonances!
-
NY Philharmonic at David Geffen Hall conducted by Karina Canellakis performing Berg, Messiaen, Debussy. A week before that we heard Raphaël Feuillâtre at Town Hall- a brilliant performance!
-

St. Louis Symphony Orchestra - Johannes Brahms - Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 today! Beautifully performed!

My wife and I attended the Steep Canyon Rangers concert at the Strings Pavillion in Steamboat Springs, CO a few weeks ago. Absolutely wonderful Bluegrass group.
-
Just got back from seeing Solo Duo (matteo Mela and Lorenzo Micheli) here in NYC.
Wow, were they %$#@ing FANTASTIC!!! -
Stephanie Jones Solo Classical Guitar concert in Sydney Australia on 15 February 2025. She is a wonderfully virtuosic player whose enunciation, phrasing and colouring of the music she brings to the guitar, offers new light to this great instrument! Being a fan of Latin American / South American repertoire, I particularly enjoyed her selection of pieces in this genre. For those who may have the opportunity to see Stephanie in the future, I highly recommend her concert to everyone in Tonebase.

Transatlantic Sessions, Birmingham symphony hall. My 14th time, one of the guests was louden wainwright 3rd, awesome.
-
Chicago symphony Essa-Pekka Salonnen conducting Bartok's Bluebird. Was incredible. Also Beethovens 2nd.
-
Harry Dubiel I was really excited when Salonen became the music director of the SF Symphony in 2020. I saw his all Stravinsky program featuring The Rite and Symphony of Psalms. It was spectacular. I am really saddened that he has resigned from the SF Symphony at the end of this season. One of my favorite conductors.
-
Jack Stewart oh yeah that is not great for sure. Selfishly I was hoping Salonen came to the CSO.

Andrea González Caballero December 17th in Charlotte NC.

I saw Marko Topchii at an Omni Foundation concert in San Francisco earlier this month. (fellow TBer Dale Needles and his wife, Suzanne were in attendance as well.) Topchii is a phenomenal guitarist and musician. The highlight was a transcendent performance of Bach's BWV 826 Keyboard Partita #2.
The week before I saw Jeremy Denk with the Takasc String Quartet performing Beethoven's Op.18.1 String Quartet and Brahms op 34 Piano Quintet (w/ Denk). Wonderful concert as well.

Hey, last Live Classical Guitar Concert I attended was John Williams in 1977, Wellington NZ, see my attached memorable s. Cheers
-
Thibaut Garcia in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Dez 13 - really outstanding in many ways.
-
Non-classical concert was in Brooklyn with a band called Vomit Fist (seriously), a band fronted by Nick Didkovsky, who is a well-known "avant" electric guitarist who I have been friends with forever.
Last classical guitar concert was Hao Yang in Manhattan, which was put on by the New York Classical Guitar Society. I also was supposed to see Leonela Alejandro in person a few weeks ago, but it was really cold outside and I ended up watching the livestream.
-
Segovia 1983 , 90th birthday. Got backstage after the concert and asked a few questions about M.Castelnuovo-Tedesco Suite. He turned to the 2nd movement and taping the page said “very beautiful “. He then autographed it.
A beautiful moment and that was it for me.
-
Pat Metheny “Orchestrion”
was there for the performance. Just Pat and his Orchestrion He explained how it worked and created musical examples. Genius!
The actual composition is available in score. -

Dec. 13, 2024 - Beat, Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin and Danny Carey performing 1980s King Crimson; Oklahoma City. Incredible show. Too loud for my aging ears, thank God for earplugs. Worth the decibels to see and hear Tony Levin. Vai was a gas too.
