Those of you in NYC should pay attention to the interesting Chinese culture festival centered on Carnegie Hall.
I think if I were there I would go to nearly everything!

“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

CHINESE OPERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cua: You’ve got it. I think I will be in NYC in the beginning of November. I must go to something.
Shadow puppets!!
“hear a new piece by a miraculous Chinese composer whose music trembles at the edge of silence and ecstasy” = they let his biggest fan write the program notes.
“recreates the traditional Nanguan music and Liyuan dance of the Tang Dynasty” = reread Judge Dee and Master Li to get in the mood.
Sigh. I’d never want to live in a really big city or even near one, but it’d be awfully handy to have a teleporter pass.
