The Grant Park Music Festival opens their 2008 season tonight. The schedule looks like a mash-up of the usual romantics coupled with a few interesting things, here and there. Throw in the usual, highly cliché Russian works, here and there, and you have a season. Let's throw sarcasm to the wind for a moment, however, and take note of the following:
Friday, August 8, 2008 at 6:30 p.m.
Saturday, August 9, 2008 at 7:30 p.m.
Grant Park Orchestra; Carlos Kalmar, Conductor; Valentina Lisitsa, Piano
Martinů: Memorial to Lidice
Grieg: Piano Concerto
Nielsen: Symphony No. 4, The "Inextinguishable"
Wow, there could be some saving grace this season with The Inextiguishable! See you there?
