J'adore un peut de Debussy!

I have a secret admiration for classical music... well not that secret. I played piano for a long time and was lucky enough to learn quiet a bit about our musical forefathers.



I have a selected few favourites… One of which being Claude Debussy.
As we are approaching the New Year (and quiet frankly I have too much time on my hands at the moment) I have been planning all sorts of cultural activities for myself… which range from a mad treasure-hunt/ squat-party/ exhibition to classical concerts all over London. So I am especially excited to be able to hear some Debussy early on in 2009 and it is cheap as chips. So for anyone who wants to indulge in some genius music, here are a couple of dates to check out.

10.01.09, Wigmore Hall, Amandine Savary

07.02.09, St. Pauls Church, Knightsbridge Chamber Orchestra

22.02.09, West London Synagogue

05.06.09, South Bank Royal Festival Hall, London Philharmonic Orchestra (my personal favourite and one can listen a taster on www.lpo.co.uk)

25.06.09, Barbican Hall, showing Exotiques: Ravel & Debussy

If your not interested, ignore this but you’re missing out on some essential culture me thinks.

So stay out of trouble, at least till New Years Eve.
