Sisters in Arms - a Unique Carnegie Hall Concert |
|
|
The New York premiere of a neglected masterpiece by a great British female composer.
The Cecilia Chorus of New York (www.CeciliaChorusNY.org) invites you to this unique concert. Experience the NY premiere of the towering, magisterial Mass in D by indomitable suffragette Dame Ethel Smyth. About its premiere, a contemporary critic wrote: “This work definitely places the composer among the most eminent composers of her time…. Throughout it is … masterly in construction and workmanship, and particularly remarkable for the excellence and rich color of the orchestration.” Opening the concert is a medley of scenes from The Maid of Orleans, an opera about Joan of Arc by Dame Ethel’s friend and co-conspirator Peter Illyich Tchaikovsky.
Discounted tickets available by booking online here:
1st Tier Box: $73 (regularly $80)
2nd Tier Box and Prime Orchestra: $61 (regularly $68)
Orchestra: $52 (regularly $58)
Dress Circle: $48 (regularly $52)

Six Nations Rugby Championship |
|
|
With barely a fortnight to go in the Six Nations, this Saturday sports a morning
and early afternoon festooned with Celtic battles:
9:30AM - Scotland vs Wales at Murrayfield
12:00PM - Ireland vs France at Aviva
The Welsh couldn't care less how they fare against the Scots because the
Principality's Big Day of Vengeance is the following week, when they host
England on home turf. Scotland's been nothing if not spirited this season,
so Saturday's AM promises to be a good match.
The Irish haven't been doing well of late, in spite of their good looks. We'll
see if Aviva will spur them on towards victory against a side whose propensity
is to produce gusts of brilliance.
LOCATION:
Join fellow Tabs at the Kinsale Tavern:
1672 3rd Ave New York, NY 10128
between 93rd and 94th St on Third Avenue.
TIMES:
9:30AM - Scotland vs Wales
12:00PM - Ireland vs France

With due apologies to Mr Chaucer:
What that february with his shoures soote
Had bathed every veyne in swich licour
Thanne longen folk to goon on a pilgrimage
Of engelond to Twickenham they wende
The hooly blisful rugby for to seke
'Gainst them frenchies shall we beat!
England faces off against the Froggie Foe, in what promises to be a rousing
game given the way the Red Rose has been playing thus far in the Championship.
The venue is the not-so-Chaucerian Kinsale Tavern on the UES:
1672 Third Ave New York, NY 10128
between 93rd and 94th
Wherein shall stand yon Tabs a pair, Thomas de Harte and Simon, Earl of Dyton.
And Harvey de Lam too!

The icing on the panettone: a new work freshly commissioned from emerging composer Raphael Fusco.
