Cycles of work, event, and eat/sleep

Updated: April 13, 2009

It's been a great year going to events, meeting you and making new friends. But our careers are keeping us busy and we won't be able to keep up with the demands to keep up with the event alerts. We will post our reviews when we have a chance from time to time.

Please see right panel for sites we check for unique and fun events from less well-known organizations. See you there -- and don't forget to say hi

Love, peace and music, Jade & CHRIS - )

Piano recital by Yundi Li (March 18, 2008)

Organizer: Roy Thomson Hall and tsoundcheck
Cost: $12
Pre-event estimate: 3 out of 5 based on comments in one Sound Advice show a few years ago
Post-event rating: 4 out of 5

This is another great deal for those under 30 (or those with friends under 30). Yundi Li is the youngest pianist to win the International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition in 2000. So I was ecstatic to finally see him perform live! I am no Rick Phillips (former host of Sound Advice at CBC radio), but tunes of Chinese folk music on the piano made Yundi Li’s recital an unique experience. Another source of the unique yet not-so-pleasant experience was the screaming fans at the autography session after the concert!
