Like most of you, I am shocked — shocked I say! — that today is Friday, and though I am a huge fan of the three day work week, I must share with you this startling fact: Alia Musica Pittsburgh’s concert featuring Freya String Quartet and the the Arabesque Winds is only two days away! Two days! It’s a great program that will present works by your favorite Alia Musica composers along with some modern classics by Martinu and Ligeti. The concert is taking place at Chatham University at 7 pm in James Laughlin Center for Music. Tickets are available from Showclix (as well they should be). Here’s the complete info.
None of which is even the best part. As many of you already know, Federico Garcia, director of Alia Musica, was in an automobile accident over the holiday, which required life flight and neck surgery. But I’m happy to say that Federico is healing well and will be at the concert on Sunday. So do make it out if possible and be sure to mention to Federico how glad you are that he is on the mend.
