Classical Music Circle

way to take initiative JFU!

question, what is a CMC? can you give a more indepth idea ?

CMC is the abbreviation I came up with for my idea "Classical Music Circle". CMC is like a book club, but instead of books, we talk classical music.

I imagine it going in this way:
- We (the circle members) vote for a topic to discuss in classical music (a work of Chopin, music theory ... etc.)
- We agree on a place to meet up at (could be public or private)
- We provide devices needed for the session (Stereo, Laptop, CD's and the like)
- We starting exploring each others concepts and perspectives of the topic

Any more ideas are more than welcome.

i especially love the works of Korsakov, specifically sheherazade.

i would suggest posting it in EEK magazine but they seem to be on an extended hiatus :S

Korsakov ... a master, or as they Russians used to call him, one of the mighty handful.

Yesterday I attended a concert of piano (Bartek Rybak, who actually works in Kuwait). He performed tremendously and showed off with the Chopin's 3rd Piano sonata ... In the last movement of the sonata he seemed like George Clooney and Mark Whalberg in Perfect Storm.

Sadly, I didn't know anyone in the concert to at least say a few things about the performance, except for one lady whom I know I went to college with but weren't friends then. The search goes on.

Really? No one's interested? ... C'mon people

JFU its the weekend man now people are back and responses will flow..

so 1) where was this 2) how come you didn't tell us 3) when is the next one?

Where was this?
In Maidan Cultural Center here

How come I didn't tell you?
I was told about it 15 minutes before the concert. Barely made it there myself.

When is the next one?
Here is link for the whole season's activities: Current season

I hope by this I will have redeemed myself

Dear @Sameh ... I have just joined the blog a couple of months ago and if you notice i have already posted about the events last month and I will keep doing so. There is a relatively big community of music lovers in Kuwait attending the activities. Follow our Facebook page and twitter (it's still new but it will get better).

Now, since you know our page, you are most welcome to join and invite others .... see you when you get there
