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 - )

Persian Music (Aug 7, 2008)

Event: Persian Music
Organizer: Harbourfront Centre
Cost: Free!
Pre-event estimate: 3 out of 5--sun+music+picnic!
Post-event rating: 4 out of 5

This is the best performance this year so far! It's a nice change from the usual western classical music performed in music garden and Roy Thompson Hall. As a piano player, I am in awe to know that santour, a Persian musical instrument, is actually the precursor of the piano. I love the unique sound of it!! The musician (Pirouz Yousefian or Farzad Yousefian??) plays the santour expresses intense emotions in music, yet light and effortless-looking with his hands.

The duo receive the first standing ovation I have seen from the audience at the music garden--and they deserve every minute of it!
