Great exhibit of new and older paintings by @alexis_rockman at @JackShainman gallery, taking the show since @SWGallery257 has closed.

Superb concert of rarely-played #Shostakovich works at @chambermusic tonight: Trio 1, 7 Romances w/ Andriana Churchman, & Sym 15 arranged by Derevianko

The @nyphil wonderfully played Shostakovich’s massive, sprawling 4th Symphony last night under the superb direction of @NosedaG , who kissed his miniature conducting score at the fading end of the work. I was lucky to hear him in the same symphony at the @NatSymphonyDC last May.

Get a glimpse of the progress on our new Tang Wing for American Democracy! Opening June 2026, this new wing will increase our gallery space by 36% and expand our efforts to educate students in American history and civics. https://t.co/L0WBM7Nvdr

In-between was Bartók’s last piano concerto, almost completed before his death in NYC. @nyphil

The concert ended with a rare performance of the Sym #2 by Ives - patriotic, dissonant, raucous, with that ending splat chord added just before the 1951 premiere, held just long enough for full Impact.

The @nyphil for its season opener today made in usual choice: the world premiere of of light and stone by @annezilotti . This piece was perfect for the occasion on 9/11 - beautiful, w/ anguish & memories from generations in Hawaii, strong emotionality, and unusual instrumentation

KEEP REPOSTING.

This is @RepMikeLawler (R-NY). If he votes for this bill, 32,216 of his constituents would lose access to their healthcare. 18,264 of his constituents could lose access to their food assistance.

We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state. We can't let them jam this through in secret. Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

The @QuatuorDanel ended their terrific Shostakovich quartet cycle today at the Schostakowitsch Festival Leipzig in the @Gewandhaus with quartets 1, 10, & 15, encoring perfectly with the 1st movement of the 1st SQ. Masterful performances!

Terrific Shostakovich PC#1 w/ @daniil_trifonov at the Shostakovich Festival Leipzig tonight under amazing conductor @andris_nelsons with the @Gewandhaus Festival Orchestra in The 12th & 9th Symphonies.

#DSCH

The Schostakowitsch (Shostakovich) Festival Leipzig at the @Gewandhaus is almost over - a terrific program over 17 days with all 15 symphonies & string quartets (with the @QuatuorDanel ) & many rarely heard works.

Excellent Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk conducted by Andres Nelsons at @OperLeipzig tonight except bizarre plot change at the end with Katerina not killing Sonyetska or herself.

This is great! I think it should be mandatory to take a civics class in HS and learn about the constitution.
