General
Have any of you seen any interesting classical concerts lately? Do you have a performance on the horizon that you're gearing up for?
This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Break of Reality, a cello-rock group based out of NY. What a talented group! The band consists of 3 cello players (each of them sporting a $7,000+ Luis and Clark CARBON FIBER cello!) and a drummer who switched back and forth between a full drum set and a djembe. They played a little bit of everything, from Mozart to Tool. Definitely not your average cello group!
Here are a few songs from their new album, TEN:
Helix
Star
If you like what you heard, please consider supporting them, as they are not only a unique classical group but also educators who donate their time and money to teaching kids how to play the cello! (They spent an entire workweek in my area before I attended their "public" show)

I'd like to add to anyone reading that if you like Break of Reality- you should also look into the song covered by them called Julie-o :D

I haven't been to any interesting classical concerts recently, or any concerts at all, actually :c. Given where I'm living now, I doubt I'll have much of an opportunity to see anything other than student recitals and our school orchestra concerts for a while. Though, now that I'm thinking about it, I'll be in NYC for a few weeks in the winter...maybe I'll crash Avery Fisher Hall or the Met on a weekend. ;3
