White Tie and Tails
Wednesday at the regular Dame Myra Hess Concert at the Cultural Center, Evan Mack played three wonderful pieces while all dressed up in his finest tux. First up was “Dumka” by Tchaikovsky, a short and unknown piece to me, as were all the others to come. The major work was from Mozart, his Sonata for piano in F Major. Evan’s dress might’ve influenced my impression, but it was so sweet. And to end up with a flourish, we heard Ginastera’s “Danzas Argentinas”. Evan’s performance was a great treat in the midst of a rather good The Taste of Chicago this year.
But if I’d known this was a dress-up affair, I would’ve tucked my shirt into my jeans.
