The D.C. SuperShow Is a Hit!
It's rare for the entire pen community to agree on anything, but a general consensus has arisen: under the co-directorship of Barbara Johnson and Jeff Hancock, the legacy of Bob Johnson and his Washington D.C. Fountain Pen SuperShow is secured. Begun in 1992, the D.C. show is the largest pen show in the world, and both attendees and vendors say that the organization, excitement, and vitality of the show is at one of the strongest points in its over three decades of existence.

Pam Tanowitz's Pastoral, Ailey Does Joni Mitchell
In the dreary month of January, summer makes a brief but welcome appearance via Pam Tanowitz’s “Pastoral” (Rose Theatre; Jan. 11-13). It’s a bucolic work, a peaceable kingdom of serene, sometimes quirky dances, set within a landscape of vibrantly colored fabric panels by the artist Sarah Crowner. Dancers move with bracing clarity as Beethoven's “Pastoral” Symphony wafts across Caroline Shaw’s musical collage, which also suggests the buzzing of insects, bird calls, rain.

Tallis Scholars Mass, Star Pianists
England, the insult goes, is “a land without music.” Of course, where there are people, there is music—but it’s true that, for a century or two, English composers played mostly in the minor leagues. New York Philharmonic, conducted by Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, at David Geffen Hall, showcases two works, both from 1910, that helped to change that.
