Thu 25 Mar – The Tallis Scholars in Minneapolis!

Sure we looked and probably smelled like we had just gone for a run though a park after drinking but that’s part of the experience. The concert was magnificent and the scholars brought down a piece of heaven for our musical adoration. Although the crowd was stuffy and the patrons much more civil then ourselves, we sat in awe of the simplistic beauty of the human voice and suffered a brief moment of collective amnesia as the musical ages rolled. The one glaring omission, at least evident to Vemrion and myself, was the pallid nature of my fellow patrons. Personally, I’m rather passionate about my music and classical “fans” need to take a page out of their metallic second cousins book and loosen their ties just a bit. To expect a mosh pit in a basilica is grandiose to be sure but there can be no doubt as to the fervor of the combatants. I wish the same could be said of classical music supporters. Bravo Tallis Scholars, thank you for gracing us with your artistic presence!
