Streaming Music, Art Discussions, and Museum Tours While Isolated at Home (Oh, and Reading Jane Austen Online).

April 17, 2020 by Vic

Inquiring readers: My funny bone has yet to tickle me during this pandemic. I am still writing my Emma. film review. My tongue-in-cheek inspiration is coming back in dribs and drabs, but it hasn’t quite jelled.

Meanwhile, I’ve been meeting with friends, Janeites, and fellow volunteers online via Zoom and sharing ways to keep one’s mind preoccupied with loftier things than the constant doom and gloom droning on the news.

I’ve placed some concerts, virtual museum tours, and fine art discussions in this post to help you/us liven up our isolation.

Starting tonight they are:

ART: Cocktails with the Curator of the Frick Museum: A half hour discussion 5 pm every Friday. When I visit NYC, I always make an effort to stop at the Frick Museum. Previous discussions are available on YouTube. Download the APP for a gallery tour.

Cocktails Frick

MUSIC: Peabody Watch Party: Recurring Friday Nights:  The Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins will stream a previously recorded concert every Friday night at 7:30pm Eastern Standard Time.  On April 17th, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s String Sextet in D minor, Op. 70 “Souvenir de Forence” featureing Vadim Gluzman and Mei Zhan, violin, Alaina Rea and Josef Fischer, viola, and Michael Kanned and Ismael Guerrero Bombut, violoncello.

Visit Peabody ArtReach for additional performances and performance-related learning and wellness resources.

These acoustic concerts have held me enthralled for a number of years. Try one. You’ll find that singers sound so much better in an intimate setting. Click here to try a few.

    Vadim Gluzman is a fantastic violinist – as you note at the Peabody Friday night. Thanks for the shot of culture.

  • Podcast Reviews: First Impressions-Why All the Austen Haters Are Wrong

    Image of Victorian woman listening to a podcast with earphonesIn this podcast series First Impressions (59 episodes so far), hosts Kristin and Maggie hilariously discuss the brilliance of Jane Austen and how her novels give us unparalleled insight into our own lives and characters. There’s no shame in loving (and obsessively re-reading) Austen’s novels, which are just as fresh and relevant as they were 200 years ago. Kristin and Maggie are here to give a big [lady] finger to any haters who say otherwise!
