Please read each event description carefully. Most events are "buy-your-own-ticket" but I may sometimes be able to get a group rate. Looking forward to enjoying lots of performances with you.

See all- Musicians of the Old Post Road - Bach CantatasFirst Unitarian Church of Worcester, Worcester, MA
Musicians of the Old Post Road, a Greater Boston-based ensemble, specializes in performing music from the 17th to 19th centuries. Their performances emphasize the rediscovery and relearning of music from these eras, always on period instruments. In this performance with vocal soloists also adapting historically informed practices, hear three ultra-poetic cantatas with delicate writing for all players.
This is part of the “Complete Bach” project. Click HERE for more information and to buy your ticket.
We can meet at Armsby Abbey for a bite to eat and/or a drink before the concert if people want!

- Balanchine's "Jewels" at the Boston Opera House. Discount tickets available.Citizens Bank Opera House, Boston, MA
I saw this in London years ago and it is absolutely breathtaking. There are discount tickets available through the end of September. Use the code CITYLIVING45 to get a ticket anywhere in the theater for only $52. See below for link.
George Balanchine’s Jewels showcases three distinct styles of neoclassical ballet in one brilliant evening. Choreographed in 1967, it was inspired by Balanchine’s visit to Claude Arpels’ jewelry showroom in New York City. The costumes were designed by legendary New York City Ballet costume designer Madame Barbara Karinska and showed the essence of each jewel. Each ballet reflects a chapter of Balanchine’s career: Diamonds honors his early years at the Mariinsky Ballet in Russia, Emeralds nods to his time with the Ballets Russes in France, and Rubies celebrates his lasting impact on American ballet with New York City Ballet.
I am sitting in Orchestra Left, Section B, Row M, Seat 15. Still plenty of seats left in that section. CLICK HERE to purchase tickets, and use the code CITYLIVING45. You put the code in at the top right of the page, where it says “Promo Code.” If there’s another code already there, delete it and put the new one in. Make sure you are getting tickets for Friday, November 14.
I’ll be taking the 4:30pm train in from Worcester to Back Bay and then the Orange Line to Chinatown. We can meet for a drink and a bite to eat at Sip Wine Bar and Kitchen.
