So far, the only one is the Alamo Drafthouse in Ashburn, Va.
Congressman Brad Sherman (D-Ca.) sent a letter to Sony offering to screen the film.
No one who loves the piano would have missed Murray Perahia’s sold-out recital on Sunday afternoon in the Music Center at Strathmore, sponsored by Washington Performing Arts Society. Perahia had to cancel his 2006 WPAS recital because of renewed pain from a thumb injury in the 1990s that nearly ended his career. Indeed, there were worries that we might never hear him play again. Happily, there he was, modest and unassuming, bowing politely and then…
This is going to be an excellent week for serious listeners of classical music, with several major events headlining the agenda and some other good concerts on the sidelines. In the spotlight are a piano recital, a visiting orchestra, Russian music, and possibly the greatest opera ever composed. HEADLINES: >> Pianist Murray Perahia had to cancel his 2006 recital for Washington Performing Arts Society, because of renewed pain from a finger injury in the 1990s…
The high point of this week in classical music is surely the Lieder recital by the superlative German baritone Christian Gerhaher and his regular pianist collaborator, Gerold Huber, sponsored by the Vocal Arts Society at the Embassy of Austria (October 11, 7:30 p.m.). Gerhaher’s most recent Lieder recording is a knockout, and his program for Thursday night is devoted entirely to songs by Robert Schumann. THE SYMPHONY: >> Riccardo Chailly brings his La Scala Philharmonic…
MONDAY >> At the ripe young age of 24, Patrick Wolf has already achieved a lot: three albums of brooding electronica and orchestral pop, modeling campaigns for Burberry, headlines in the British tabloids and at least one on-stage altercation that found the lupine violinist attacking his strung-out drummer with a cymbal. Drama notwithstanding, Wolf’s latest, the surprisingly upbeat The Magic Position, is undoubtedly one of this year’s best. Come see what all the fuss is…
It’s hard to resist the lure of sunny days with cloud-filled skies, something I’m sure anyone with summer hours on Fridays can attest to. These conditions also tend to look picturesque when reflected off the side of a building. Thus today’s photo, taken by Flickr user krwaltondc of Techworld Plaza, on 8th and K in NW. This shot was taken on a Sony DSC-W1. The EXIF data can be found here….
Although I’ve never been, I hear Gravelly Point is a great place to visit if you want to watch the planes at National take off and land. Flickr user zachstern gives us the visual evidence. This shot was taken on a Sony DSC-H1. The EXIF data can be found here. This post was written by DCist Kyle Gustafson….
Today we bring you a little vertigo from Flickr user AlbinoFlea. I had a tough time choosing between this one and maxedaperture’s puddle of melted ore, but AlbinoFlea’s photo of a Georgetown Library staircase stood out with its brilliant color and repeated patterns. It was taken with a Sony DSC-H2 and you can find the other EXIF data here….
Today’s photo comes from Flickr user The Michael (there’s just the one). These spongy ‘shrooms look almost a tad ethereal, popping out against the background with this great close-up. The Michael used a Sony DSC-P200; the other EXIF data is here….
