I did three fun, music-related things this week. On Saturday, the University of Alabama Contemporary Ensemble performed works by Twentieth-Century classical composers. It was presented by Les Amis Des Vitraux in the beautiful Saint James Chapel. Saturday night we stopped at The Tonic Room to have one drink before going to our planned venue B.L.U.E.S. But an excellent jazz saxophonist named Frank Catalano and his band were playing, and they were so good we stayed until the end, never making it to our original destination. Last night I went to “VIVID 2011″ at the beautiful Auditorium Theatre. It was a concert by the students of Chicago College of the Performing Arts. I especially enjoyed the “Tribute to Miles Davis” and Edvard Grieg’s “Piano Concerto in A Minor” with the talented, young pianist Chanmi Ryu.
