 ## Notes ## Notes
  
-Good show! +CalPerfs also shared a 21-minute [Zoom interview](https://calperformances.org/related-events/artist-conversation-with-ballet-hispanico-2021-22-season/) between Jeremy Geffen and Eduardo Vilaro
- +
-Not too well attended: maybe folks are still too worried about gathering indoors? My feeling is that I'm safe because (1) I'm vaxxed, (2) I'll be masked, and (3) everyone else present should be too! Hopefully attendance will improve as time goes on.+
  
-Still's Phantom Chapel was a nice appetizer to start things off. Not too meaty, at only six minutes, but pleasant enough to make me wonder why they didn't program the other parts of the larger work it's drawn from.+{{:wip.png?nolink}}  **Whoa!**  This section is incomplete for now, sorry! {{:wip.png?nolink}}
  
-It was a treat to have Mark Adamo present for the World Premiere of his piece, and extra special for him to give us a detailed preview of the work in his remarks. On the other hand, like many "reaction" works by other modern composers that I've heard over the past twenty years, this one didn't make an especially strong impression on me. I liked it, but it didn't grab me in the way that Piazzolla's _Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas_ did when NCCO brought that out (xref TBD).+[Program Notes](https://calperformances.org/program-notes/2021-22/ballet-hispanico/) or {{:2021:2021-11:20211106pn-BH.pdf|program notes}}
  
-Prestini's arrangement opening the second set was another amusing bite of sound. Not long enough to make much of an impression: I spent most of my listening wondering how the piece was to evoke the "mouth music" of the original work. Probably should have done better prep for that one: after I tried listening to Tanya Tagaq's original recording, the connection in my memory to tonight's work was considerably stronger... and then I realized that I'd listened to a completely different work. Alright then. I'll revise my comment to say that Prestini did a great job of evoking the same sonic world that Tagaq explores on her latest album, _Tongues_, and the [video](https://youtu.be/ziaqLa0uinU) for the title track is really out there!+Janice Berman posted a nice [review](https://www.sfcv.org/articles/review/good-gold-ballet-hispanico-zellerbach) of the evening show with SFCV.
  
-Akiho's piece grabbed my attention best. A recording of the world premiere performance, Dec 21, 2012, by the New York Philharmonic can be [heard via Soundcloud](https://soundcloud.com/andy-akiho/oscillate-ny-philharmonic). Some (or all?) of the score parts are available to examine via the NYPhil archives, and via study there, I decided that the programmatic description of a "Day 1", "Day 2", and "Day 3" is probably an after-the-fact description stamped onto the piece: there's certainly no such labeling in any of the parts that I looked at!+## Photos
  
-Digital Program Notes don't seem to be available (how annoying), but you *can* purchase a recording of tonight's show via [City Box Office](https://www.cityboxoffice.com/orderticketsarea.asp?a=12000&p=12468&src=default) for $30. Seems a little steep to me, but hey, you don't want cheap art, do you?+Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!
  
-Janos Gereben published a [promo article](https://www.sfcv.org/articles/music-news/new-century-doubles-premieres) for the show at SFCV.+{{gallery>:2021:2021-11?20211106-*.jpg}}
  
-Joshua Kosman [reviewed](https://datebook.sfchronicle.com/music/review-new-century-chamber-orchestra-addresses-the-cycle-of-seasons-in-a-new-age) tonight's show for the SF Chronicle, emphasizing the Adamo piece.+{{:wip.png?nolink}}  **Whoa!**  This section is incomplete for now, sorry! {{:wip.png?nolink}}
