There’s no listening to WQXR or KUSC this weekend without being reminded that Mozart was born around this part of the calendar in 1756.

You’re better than that! Or so we hope! Continue reading

This is the mark of genius, right here. The actress in the above clip has just been nominated for an Academy Award for a bravura performance in an artsy, critically acclaimed motion picture, which itself was nominated for Best Picture. Yet she is just as believable as a harried mum competing for screentime with a cartoon bear in a family movie, which itself is the highest-rated film ever on a popular movie-site aggregator. Ladies & gentlemen, the supremely talented Sally Hawkins…HAWKINS… Continue reading
