Disconnect
Saturday night, 12/19 at either 7pm or 8pm depending on the sources you depend on, the Maverick Ensemble performed at the Flat Iron Arts Building. I was in the crowd who thought
8pm was the starting time, but walked into the tail-end of the concert. Fortunately Jason acknowledged the publicity problem and volunteered to re-play any requests by late comers after the wine/pizza/brownie reception.
The replays were followed by an interesting jazz trio with Jason
on cello. He said he didn’t have an electric cello like Katinka Kleijn,
but he sure dug into it with verve!
A similar concert-time disconnect happened at the U of C Renaissance
Society two seasons ago. At that time the ensemble re-played the whole first half of the program for those who arrived at the later published time. I don’t think the musicians minded the re-do.
