delightful surprises


the best fluffy blue coat

TheUniverse decided that it wanted to end my 196 day posting streak by taking the blog down last night. Back on the proverbial pony this morning. Past Me would have thrown her hands up in despair and abandoned the endeavour. Current Me doesn’t have such a rigid streak definition.

Back in February, I thought to check if Hania Rani** had any shows in Europe while we were there. She didn’t.

But she did have an upcoming show in Sydney! Cue excitement!

It was almost sold out, but I was lucky enough to pounce on the remaining tickets.

It was glorious.

** who you may recall, inspired me to learn piano. I didn’t continue that journey, but am super-glad I learned what I did.

  1. Bonjour

    Je ne connais pas Hania Rani mais une courte recherche m’apprend qu’elle sera en spectacle deux soirs, en novembre, à Montréal…
    De votre côté, connaissez-vous cette jeune compositrice Montréalaise( Alexandra Strélisky) ? Elle fait une musique “classique” contemporaine. Cela s’écoute très bien

    Il y a Jean-Michel Blais aussi , un peu dans le même genre.
    Bonne écoute si le coeur vous en dit
    J’aime toujours autant vous lire, vos sujets sont diversifiés et collés à la vraie vie.

    • Merci Lise! Your generous and kind comments always bring me so much happiness!

      I am not familiar with either Alexandra Strélisky or Jean-Michel Blais and am excited to investigate further. I have only recently (maybe 2-3 years) begun to have an interest in this contemporary classical genre, so am always keen to hear of new-to-me artists.
