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

ELP : Tarkus

King Crimson : Lark's Tongues...

Genesis : Wathcher Of...

Yes : Close To The Edge

the musicians:

Maitrise De Radio France (choir)

Ensemble de percussion Sixtrum de Montréal

SMCQ (Ensemble De La Société De Musique Contemporain du Québec )

René Bosc & Walter Boidreau (direction)

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!

Explain the meaning of this song and share it"

Sounds exciting, Martin! I might be up for that.

It's a bit close to the RIO fest 2 dates, but I'll check if I can double-score.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
