A Singer’s Notes, 6: West Toward Home
Now Route 7 is close to the center of my life; when I was in college it was Route 2; when I was a boy it was Route 29. Route 29 led to Saratoga, and that's where I was last Saturday night. I went to see a Kander and Ebb show, "Curtains.” Not many community theaters have the guts to put up a show that parodies community theater. The quality of the production I saw made me realize Saratoga's Home Made Theater had little to fear. Not to harp on...Here is the latest on the Berkshire Review for the Arts.

An Opportunity to help young musicians get started: donate to the H & I’s New Year’s open mic event!
For the past few years my friend and musical partner Rick Harlow and I have hosted an Open Mic New Years Eve event at his 2000 square foot artist loft in North Adams, MA. This used to simply be a party but this annual 'happening' has transformed into a venue where young artists can show up (via invitation & word of mouth) and sing or play instruments or perform slam poetry or standup comedy, etc.Here is the latest on the Berkshire Review for the Arts.

David Hoose, Music Director of The Cantata Singers, Boston, talks to Michael Miller, with Season Preview
This thoughtful and lively program of Baroque and modern music is typical of the Cantata Singers, who in recent years have been building their season programs around a single composer, this year Heinrich Schütz, the greatest predecessor of the central figure in the group's mission, Johann Sebastian Bach. This gave me an opportunity to continue our podcast series in conversation with David Hoose, the Cantata Singers' Music Director for the past...Here is the latest on the Berkshire Review for the Arts.

Berkshire Review recommended a review : In a Sketchy Hall of Mirrors, Nabokov Jousts With Death and Reality
(Page 2 of 2)Berkshire Review recommended a review : In a Sketchy Hall of Mirrors, Nabokov Jousts With Death and Reality
Given the shape of Vladimir Nabokov’s own life, it’s hardly surprising that death — and its cousin loss — permeated his fiction like a potent but noxious perfume.Berkshire Review recommended an article : E.U. Leaders Bolster Internet Access Protections
BERLIN — European lawmakers on Thursday agreed on new protections for Internet users, striking a compromise between national governments seeking to impose tough anti-piracy laws and consumer organizations that wanted to enshrine Internet access as...Berkshire Review recommended an article : The Uneducated American

Pesto for When It Gets Real
In all relationships, we inevitably reach the point when our partner’s rose-tinted aura begins to fade. You have documented his nocturnal snorings. He no longer remembers to put the toilet seat down. You realize that if the Red Sox are playing, all bets are off on a romantic evening. At the [...]Naughty & Nice Eggnog
Every holiday season, there are two recipes people ask me to divulge, one for eggnog, the other for chocolate truffles. The recipe for chocolate truffles is a true secret passed onto me from my mother and, I fear, it cannot be shared until I’ve reached my dotage and am no longer to make them [...]Couscous for a Carnivore
Of late, my life is better suited to seduction in organic chemistry lab rather than in my kitchen. So while chemistry fills my days, it does not fill my heart and stomach in the way it used to. But I am lucky to be able to live vicariously through my friends and their [...]Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant
I picked up the most delightful collections of essays the other day on cooking for one and eating alone entitled Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant. Many of my favorite foodies, including Laurie Colwin and M.F.K Fisher, explore the art of a meal for one. Is it a lonely act to cook [...]Always Say Yes to Cute Guys and Recipe Contests
For all you culinary Romeos and Juliets out there, here’s your chance to share your prowess with the world! The 92nd Street Y is hosting a recipe contest with some pretty dynamite, and romantique, prizes.

Santa Maria della Salute
The beautiful church of Santa Maria della Salute owes its origin to a dreadful event: the plague of Venice in 1630-31. To stop the scourge the Venetians invoked divine intervention, vowing to build a church to honor the Virgin Mary in exchange for an end to their troubles. It worked, and the promised church, designed [...]Monastery of Trisulti
Monastic life was started at Trisulti, situated at the foot of Mt. Rotonario, by St.Dominic of Foligno, a great reformer and founder of Benedictine abbeys in southern Latium. In the year 1000, he built a magnificent monastery, most of which still stands. After two centuries of Benedictine life, Pope Innocent III decreed in 1204 that the [...]Villa Taranto
Although Villa Taranto is impressive in April, when 40,000 tulips are in bloom, it is at the end of the season that the gardens really burst. The dahlias have grown tall, so tall that on the curving, narrow path that winds through the dahlia maze of 350 different varieties they tower over heads, and one [...]The Legend of Risotto alla Milanese
It was September 1574, and Milan’s cathedral, the Duomo, had been under construction for almost two hundred years. By then, the whole cathedral was surrounded by a jumble of shacks and tents which housed carpenters, artists and architects from all over Europe. Among them was the Belgian glasscutter Valerio Fiandra, accompanied by his most skillful apprentice, [...]A David-like poise in Rome?
While thousands of visitors queue to see Michelangelo’s David in Florence, fewer visit David’s virtual twin in Rome. Housed in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli – the same church where the chains that bound St. Peter are kept – Michelangelo’s depiction of Moses is as awesome as the David itself. Seated in a nook on [...]
