(Times listed are Eastern.)‘Die Tote Stadt’Feb. 28 at 1 p.m.; operavision.eu; available through March 28.Korngold’s breakthrough opera has not been well served on DVD. Some productions emphasize the plot’s salaciousness at the expense of its musical beauty. For others, the problem is the reverse. If anyone can achieve the delicate balance of the two elements, it’s the experienced director Robert Carsen, whose production of the rapturous, late Romantic score — a precursor to Korngold’s influential Hollywood work — appeared at the Komische Oper in Berlin in 2018, and is streaming now. The soprano Sara Jakubiak stars, and has made something of a specialty of Korngold in recent years, including appearing in another recent Berlin staging, at the Deutsche Oper, of “Das Wunder der Heliane.” SETH COLTER WALLSTeju Cole and Orchestra of St. Luke’sMarch 3 at 6:30 p.m.; oslmusic.org; available until March 10.This ensemble, which has responded robustly and creatively to the constraints of streamed performance, begins a new words-and-music series, “Sounds and Stories,” with a program organized by the writer Teju Cole and hosted by the actor David Hyde Pierce. Cole will read selections from his work alongside visual elements and pieces by an eclectic array of composers: Caroline Shaw, Yvette Janine Jackson, Henryk Gorecki, Unsuk Chin, Kaija Saariaho and Hildegard von Bingen. Oh, and Beethoven. ZACHARY WOOLFEAnthony McGill will collaborate with the Catalyst Quartet on a performance presented by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.Credit…Hiroyuki Ito for The New York TimesAnthony McGillMarch 9 at 7 p.m.; Facebook and YouTube; available indefinitely.“Cadence: The Sounds of Justice, the Sounds of a Movement,” presented by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, has been organized by Anthony McGill, the New York Philharmonic’s principal clarinet and the latest winner of the Avery Fisher Prize. Inspired by the Great Migration and works in the museum’s collection, McGill is joined by the Catalyst Quartet, with whom he collaborated on the group’s album “Uncovered, Vol. 1: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.” They will play Coleridge-Taylor’s Clarinet Quintet in F sharp minor alongside Kerry James Marshall’s 2014 painting “Untitled (Studio),” and a premiere by Richard Danielpour, in front of Philip Guston’s “Stationary Figure” (1973). Closing the concert will be Adolphus Hailstork’s solo “Three Smiles for Tracey,” juxtaposed with Joel Shapiro’s sculpture “Untitled” (2000-01). JOSHUA BARONESteven BanksMarch 10 at 7:30 p.m.; Facebook and YouTube; available indefinitely.This adventurous saxophonist and composer presents his debut recital for the organization Young Concert Artists, which named him the winner of its prestigious international auditions competition in 2019. The program, with the pianist Xak Bjerken, includes premieres by Carlos Simon and Saad Haddad and Banks’s own new work “Come As You Are.” He will also perform Mozart’s Oboe Quartet in F (with members of the Zorá Quartet) and Schumann’s “Fantasiestücke” for Clarinet and Piano — both arranged for saxophone. And why not? The sax, after all, is a latter-day cousin of both those instruments. ANTHONY TOMMASINILouisiana Philharmonic OrchestraMarch 12 at 8 p.m.; lpomusic.com; available through September.There are two Copland works on this program: “Appalachian Spring” and the Clarinet Concerto. But the bigger news is the performance of Courtney Bryan’s violin concerto “Syzygy,” featuring Jennifer Koh as soloist. The Louisiana players have a longstanding connection with Bryan’s music; having performed her orchestral work “Rejoice,” they’ve also named this composer-pianist a “creative partner.” So they may well have a feel for her take on Americana, which often includes elements of spirituals and the blues. (Bryan’s “Blessed,” a commission for Opera Philadelphia’s online channel, is also streaming from Feb. 26.) SETH COLTER WALLSThe mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey performs Kurt Weill at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan.Credit…Victor Llorente for The New York TimesKate LindseyMarch 14 at 2 p.m.; teatroallascala.org, as well as YouTube and Facebook; available through March 21.One of my favorite albums in recent years has been “Thousands of Miles,” a program mostly of Kurt Weill songs performed by the mezzo-soprano Kate Lindsey and the pianist Baptiste Trotignon with cabaret-like cool; Lindsey brings to these works both the radiant lyricism of Teresa Stratas and the raw Sprechstimme of Lotte Lenya, two iconic Weill interpreters. That album is the basis for this recital with Trotignon at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan, where Lindsey will also appear in March for a double bill of Weill’s “The Seven Deadly Sins” and “Mahagonny-Songspiel,” conducted by Riccardo Chailly and streaming on RaiPlay on March 18. JOSHUA BARONEMitsuko UchidaMarch 18 at 10 p.m.; calperformances.org; available through June 16.For Mitsuko Uchida, Schubert’s piano works have been a lifelong work in progress, which is why, years after she recorded the bulk of them, they are still well worth hearing anew — lately, in online recitals. From Wigmore Hall in London she recently streamed the Sonata in C (D. 840) for the Cleveland Orchestra. Next is this program for Cal Performances, featuring the forlorn yet tender Impromptu in A flat (D. 935); the famous Impromptu in C minor (D. 899), with its spare, enigmatic opening march embellished through chords and variations; and the Sonata in G (D. 894), a font of serenity that’s as good a spiritual balm as anything right now. JOSHUA BARONESarah CahillMarch 20 at 10:30 p.m.; YouTube; available indefinitely.A champion of American music and living composers, this pianist is also known as host of the popular program Revolutions Per Minutes on KALW in San Francisco. This recital, presented by the Community School of Music and Arts in Mountain View, Calif., is a celebration of the 19th Amendment, and includes works by female composers from the 18th century to the present day, among them Clara Schumann, Amy Beach, Margaret Bonds and Vitezslava Kapralova. ANTHONY TOMMASINICaramoor will stream a recital by the bass-baritone Dashon Burton, left.Credit…Hiroyuki Ito for The New York TimesDashon BurtonMarch 21 at 3 p.m.; caramoor.org; available until March 23.Known as a member of the contemporary vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth as much as for trumpeting performances in Handel’s “Messiah,” this burnished-tone bass-baritone appears in recital with the pianist David Fung under the auspices of Caramoor. The program includes Schumann’s “Dichterliebe” as well as spirituals and works by Dowland, Margaret Bonds, Florence Price and William Bolcom.

Installments explore Classical and folk styles, and, on March 27, the legacy of Black traditions.

      Duff McKagan to Release Album He Recorded With Pre-Guns N' Roses Band

      by

      Instagram

      When announcing that he will make ‘The Living: 1982’ available to the public in April, the Axl Rose bandmate gives fans a taste by dropping its first single, ‘Two-Generation Stand’.

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rocker Duff McKagan has gone back in time to revisit music he wrote and recorded with his pre-Guns N’ Roses band in the early 1980s.
      The bass player was just 17 when he recorded tracks with The Living, but the results of the session were never released.
      The tracks will finally be made available to the public on 16 April on new album “The Living: 1982”.
      McKagan has dropped the album’s first single, “Two-Generation Stand”, while announcing the news on Wednesday, February 24.

      The Living were together for just a few months, but in that time they opened for Canadian punk icons D.O.A.. They failed to find a label home and split just before McKagan moved to Los Angeles, met Axl Rose and formed Guns N’ Roses.
      His bandmates co-founded influential Seattle, Washington grunge band Mother Love Bone with Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard.
      Ironically, “The Living: 1982” will be released via Gossard’s label Loosegroove.
      McKagan is thrilled his long-lost music is getting a release. “The Living was the beginning of all things Seattle for me – a turning point in my life,” he says of the band. “I joined a band and a community. These guys are still my brothers. I’ve cherished these recordings since the days we made them. This record is a fantastic document of a loaded moment. I love it.”
      McKagan recalls once wondering if the recording would ever be heard, questioning, “Would this even ever get out of our basement?” He adds, “We had something magical then, and it was ours, so who gives a f**k!”

      Before Durk responds, his fans are quick to mock the daughter of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. as one writes in an Instagram comment, ‘Lmfao she damn near about to cry over a song!’

      Feb 25, 2021
      AceShowbiz – A clip of Iyanna Mayweather a.k.a. Yaya Mayweather whining while asking DJ to turn off Lil Durk and Pooh Shiesty’s collab “Back in Blood” went viral and it didn’t take long for the Durk to catch wind of it. Even though the rapper didn’t personally address the matter, he could be seen responding to it on his Twitter account.
      On Wednesday, February 24, “The Voice” musician retweeted a post by Calboy that appeared to be a response to Yaya not feeling the song. “We don’t turn off @lildurk or @Pooh_shiesty over here,” so he tweeted.
      In the said video, which was taken during her Yacht trip with her family, the 20-year-old could be heard demanding someone to turn off “Back in Blood” as it played in the background. “Turn this weak a** song off … Turn it off,” the daughter of Floyd Mayweather, Jr. yelled.

      Before Durk reacted to it, his fans were quick to mock Yaya. “Lmfao she damn near about to cry over a song!” someone wrote in an Instagram comment. “she be getting on my nerves & ion know why,” another user said.
      Some others, meanwhile, suggested that Yaya refused to play songs by other male rappers than her baby daddy NBA YoungBoy (YoungBoy Never Broke Again) in an attempt to get his attention. “baby you not supporting other artist is not gone make that man want you,” one opined. Similarly, another person wrote, “That man already moved on and had other kids baby… you gonna get yourself hurt.”
      Just recently, Yaya was slammed online for unsafely holding her newborn baby, whom she shares with YoungBoy, aboard a moving yacht. “Tell her stop bouncing so hard u got that bay in hands one slip done,” one Internet user told her. Similarly, someone said, “Be careful holding dat babi.”
      Some others didn’t mince their words as one wrote, “Yaya Mayweather is mentally challenged, like development is lacking. As is her father, I think she’s a bit worse off even. It only took me one video to see that. I’m not at all being funny either.” Another comment read, “Poor yaya smh. With a dad like Mayweather…who is surprised about this foolishness.”

      Report: New York City’s Arts and Recreation Employment Down by 66 Percent

Allee for The New York TimesFeb. 24, 2021, 1:59 p.m. ETEmployment in New York City’s arts, entertainment and recreation sector plummeted by 66 percent from December 2019 to December 2020, according to a report released on Wednesday by the New York State Comptroller’s office that detailed the economy’s devastation from the coronavirus and the serious obstacles to recovery.The report from Thomas DiNapoli’s office said that the sector had seen the largest drop of all the parts of the city’s economy. A full comeback, it said, would depend upon significant government assistance.The sector “is a cornerstone of the city’s ability to attract businesses, residents and visitors alike,” the report said. “Yet the sector relies on audiences who gather to take part in shared experiences, and this way of life has been significantly disrupted by the pandemic.”Although nearly all business has been affected by the pandemic, its impact on arts, entertainment and recreation entities has been particularly striking.From 2009 to 2019, employment in the sector — which in this report includes performing arts, spectator sports, gambling, entertainment, recreation, museums, parks and historical sites — grew by 42 percent, faster than the 30 percent rate for total private sector employment.In 2019, according to the report, more than 90,000 people in 6,250 establishments were employed in the arts, entertainment and recreation. Those jobs had an average salary of $79,300 and provided $7.4 billion in total wages. In addition to businesses with employees, the report said, there are a large number of people who were self-employed, including artists and musicians.In February 2020, just before the pandemic shutdown in New York City, nearly 87,000 people were employed in the arts, entertainment and recreation sector there, the report said. Many major institutions announced closures on March 12. A statewide stay-at-home order went into effect on March 22. By April, employment in the sector stood at 34,100 jobs.Budgets at arts and recreation establishments have been “decimated,” the report said, and some organizations and facilities have struggled even as they were able to reopen, saying reduced revenues because of capacity restrictions, as well as diminished ticket sales, have limited income and necessitated budget cuts.Many performing arts venues are still closed. Most Broadway theaters do not expect to reopen until June at the earliest, the report noted, adding that the Metropolitan Opera and the New York City Ballet announced they would not be reopening until September.“Arts and recreation face an uphill climb to recover from the damage wrought,” the report said, adding: “The challenges facing the arts and entertainment sector require direct and impactful support from policymakers to maintain the city’s extensive cultural offerings.”AdvertisementContinue reading the main story More

      6ix9ine Shows Cease and Desist Letter Sent by Meek Mill Over 'ZAZA' Music Video

      by

      Instagram/WENN/Apega

      It arrives after the ‘GOOBA’ rapper inserted footage of their verbal fight in his music video, which has gained more than 30 million views, for his new song that he released on Friday, February 19.

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The beef between Tekashi69 (6ix9ine) and Meek Mill doesn’t show any sign of stopping. If anything, it further escalates after the former inserted footage of their verbal fight in his music video for his new song “ZAZA” which he released on Friday, February 19.
      The trolling apparently prompts Meek and his team of lawyers to send a cease and desist letter to Tekashi as they tried to get the video removed from the internet. “Meek Mill wrote a letter to my lawyers. He said we are bullying him,” he shared in a picture that he posted on Instagram before attaching the very letter in the next slide.
      “HOW YOU START SOMETHING YOU CANT FINISH?????” he captioned the post. “HE WANT TO BE TAKEN OUT THE VIDEO BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE LAUGHING AT HIM.”

        See also…

      The letter saw Meek’s lawyers accusing Tekashi of unlawfully exploiting Meek’s likeness for commercial benefit without his authorization or consent. They also asked for the video, which has gained more than 31 million total views as of now, to be removed from all public platforms.
      Tekashi confronted Meek outside of a club in Miami on Saturday, February 13. In some videos that circulated online from the night, both were involved in a screaming match while bodyguards tried to stop things from getting physical.
      According to Meek, Tekashi planned to ambush him as he waited for him outside the club. “The headline should be: he waited outside a restaurant and popped up with the cops recording with his phone out! He tried to line me up to go to jail!” Meek tweeted after the showdown.
      “We did not run into eachother I was getting in my car he just popped out ….we almost was smoking on that 69 pack for the love of a viral moment ….. he tryna get something locked up no cap lol Why did he pick meeeee wtf lol. Then he said a Pooh shiesty bar to me wtf. I’m a real witness to that lol,” he went on writing.

      Lil Uzi Vert Gets a Taste of Rock Through Blink-182 Collaboration

      by

      WENN/FayesVision/Apega

      Teasing about a song off his band’s upcoming album, drummer Travis Barker claims that the joint project with the ‘You Was Right’ rapper is ‘more of a punk kind of like reggae-feeling song.’

      Feb 24, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rapper Lil Uzi Vert is stepping into the world of rock by recording a new track with Blink-182.
      The band’s drummer, Travis Barker, has revealed the group has recruited Pharrell Williams to produce a song on their upcoming album, and it features a guest verse from Uzi.
      “There’s a song with Uzi that’s really, really cool that we did with Pharrell,” he told Spotify’s “Rock This with Allison Hagendorf” podcast.
      “I mean, it’s not like Blink’s making a rap song or anything. It’s like bringing Uzi over to our world. So it’s more of a punk kind of like reggae-feeling song.”

        See also…

      “I don’t think Blink will ever be anything but a pop-punk band,” Barker added. “That’s who we are, and I feel like our fans have journeyed with us when we’ve done songs like ‘Miss You’ or ballads like ‘Adam’s Song’.”

      Uzi isn’t the first rapper Blink-182 have worked with – they previously collaborated and toured with Lil Wayne, while Barker has worked with hip-hop star Trippie Redd, executive producing his new project “NEON SHARK vs. Pegasus”.
      The new Blink-182 album, the follow-up to 2019’s “Nine”, will also include a tune with singer Grimes, which Barker describes as “really, really cool”.
      The rockers are currently working to complete the project, ahead of a release later this year (2021).
