March Madness

I'm going to outsource to Patrick the horrifyingly long list of programs I would ideally like to get to in March. He missed a couple of things, including Cal Bach's Buxtehude concert (first weekend of the month)  , the Philharmonia Baroque program, and a few tasty SFEMS concerts.

Then again, there are the goings-on in Los Angeles. I am tentatively planning a trip, which would include the following:

• Turn of the Screw at LA Opera, with Patricia Racette's role debut as the Governess
• Ahknaten at Long Beach Opera, because when will I get another chance to see this one?
• Ernest Fleischmann memorial concert at the LAPO, conducted and with works by Esa-Pekka Salonen and Pierre Boulez (!); Lionel Bringuier and Anne Tomlinson also conduct.
