the cons and pros of public service...also I hate public transport strikes in Paris.. I support public service especially when it comes to culture....
Présences is a festival for contemporary music organized every year by
Radio France the public French Radio over five weekends ....and all concerts are
free!!
now big surprise while you find normally names like Ligeti, Cage & Berio this season there is one concert mainly dedicated to Prog the 21/03/09 :
the progarmm:
H.K.Gruber : Frankenstein
John Adams: Scratchband
Frank Zappa: The Dangerous Kitchen
Alain Thibault : Volt

Yes : Close To The Edge
the musicians:
Maitrise De Radio France (choir)
Ensemble de percussion Sixtrum de Montréal

it's a great building with very good acoustics, so if you happen to be in Paris let your family do some shopping and join me there!
