<div class="storycontent">
<p>Last night&#8217;s Baltimore Symphony concert was a particularly interesting program.  On the first half we played <a title="Mark-Anthony Turnage" href="http://www.boosey.com/pages/cr/composer/composer_main.asp?composerid=16405&amp;" target="_blank">Mark-Anthony Turnage</a>&#8216;s <em>Ceres</em>, a short work depicting an asteroid that was once thought to be the eighth planet.  Following that was the entire <em>Star Wars Suite</em> by American film composer <a title="John Williams" href="http://www.johnwilliams.org/" target="_blank">John Williams</a>.  The last piece on the program pools the talents of a truly all-star cast of characters: a children&#8217;s story called<em> Icarus at the Edge of Time</em>, written by rock star physicist <a title="Columbia Faculty: Brian Greene" href="http://www.columbia.edu/cu/physics/fac-bios/Greene/faculty.html" target="_blank">Brian Greene</a>, set to music by minimalist composer <a title="Philip Glass" href="http://www.philipglass.com/" target="_blank">Philip Glass</a> (who has had <a title="Tim Smith's Clef Notes" href="http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/classicalmusic/2011/01/its_an_unofficial_philip_glass.html" target="_blank">quite a week here in Baltimore</a>!), performed by <a title="Marin Alsop" href="http://www.marinalsop.com/" target="_blank">Marin Alsop</a> and the <a title="BSO" href="http://www.bsomusic.org" target="_blank">BSO</a>, with NPR radio personality <a title="Scott Simon" href="http://www.scottsimonbooks.com/scottsimonbooks.com/Scott_Simon_-_the_writers_official_website.html" target="_blank">Scott Simon</a> narrating!  Greene was present for the performance and even gave, at Marin&#8217;s request, a ten minute physics lesson on the science of black holes (a key element in his story).  Fascinating stuff!</p>
<p>Two performances remain:<br />
<a title="BSO at Strathmore" href="http://www.bsomusic.org/main.taf?p=1,1,1,3&amp;PerfNo=8702" target="_blank">Sat, Jan 15 at 8 pm at The Music Center at Strathmore, North Bethesda</a><br />
<a title="BSO" href="http://www.bsomusic.org/main.taf?p=1,1,1,3&amp;PerfNo=9135" target="_blank">Sun, Jan 16 at 3 pm at Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, Baltimore</a></p>

	<p>Wow, that sounds like quite a set!  I knew Brian Greene wrote a book on string theory, but had no idea he was a musician too.  And gotta love John Williams.  I studied physics, figured I would read this post after seeing the title.<br />
