WeWork in the City


530 7th Ave
New York, NY

One of many companies or individuals use a work place. A receptionist sits by the entrance and direct the traffic: “I’ll let them know that you’re here.” I know long before the internet, many Chinese companies were sharing an office in a prestigious building, such as WTC the World Trade Center.

Joshua Bell & Jonathon Heyward @ Alice Tully Hall


Alice Tully Hall @ Lincoln Center
1941 Broadway @ 65th St.
New York, NY 10023

What A night! Joshua Bell played two pieces, with the dynamic new conductor Jonathon Heyward (like a 🕺 dance … not sure if he does yoga ). Beethoven capped the night. The audience is very appreciative and gave resounding applauses – no encore thou.

Both Bell and Heyward gave short speeches. It’s Bell’s mother’s 87th birthday, sweet – his mom and sister Rachel were in the audience too.

Heyward is an American conductor since 2016. Growing up in South Carolina and trained as a cellist and chamber musician. His parents are not in the musical field. He’s very pleasant to watch. Would like to see more of him. He definitely hit off with us, the tough New York crowd.

The program – four pieces:

  1. SIMON Fate Now Conquers
  2. VIEUXTEMPS Violin Concerto No. 5
  3. PRICE Adoration
  4. BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 2

Avery Fisher Hall was renamed to David Geffen Hall in September 2015. The renovation took place this year, reportedly will be reopen this autumn.
