bus grumpiness/BEMF
Jun. 16th, 2011 09:41 amI usually try to attend the dance class that's offered as part of the BEMF. The timing fit with my clinic schedule, everything looked good, and I cancelled a different appointment I had made for this morning to make it work. Except that the 8AM bus didn't come. At all. I called Arthur ti see whether he could track it on his phone, and its transponder signal just wasn't there. The 8:34 bus was pretty much on time, but I know from experience that I couldn't have made it to Newbury Street from Lexington Center in under an hour, so I walked back home, disgruntled. If the T had let us know in advance that that bus wouldn't exist we (me, the 7 other people at my stop waiting for it, all the others along the route) could have taken an earlier bus. That is a service for the future, I guess.
I am still planning to attend the 3:30 concert at First Lutheran tomorrow. I'm sad that I can't also squeeze in the live music-backed Sarah Bernhardt "Elizabeth I" film screening tomorrow morning, but I will be putting patients through their paces from 7 AM until 1 PM, so I can't be at Suffolk University Theater in time.
3:30pm University of Southern California Collegium Musicum & Thornton Baroque Sinfonia (Adam Gilbert, director). From Pastourelle to Pastorale. The University of Southern California Collegium Workshop and The Thornton Baroque Sinfonia explore music and theater from the humble to the sublime. The University of Southern California Collegium Workshop will present a staged production of Adam de la Halle’s Play of Robin and Marion, a thirteenth-century musical comedy, along with music inspired by the themes of the medieval pastourelle tradition, ranging from motets of the Montpellier Codex to songs and masses of the Renaissance. Join us for a joyous play with singing, dancing, vielles, and shawms. Performed as part of the Early Music America Young Performers Festival. First Lutheran Church. $10 suggested donation. 206-720-6270 or info@earlymusic.org.
