    People Are Talking: UMS presents Esperanza Spalding Radio Music Society at Michigan Theater:

  • Loved it. She has it all–unique voice, amazing talent with the bass (especially loved the upright pieces), beauty and a charming connection with the audience. I have enjoyed her recordings, but the live experience surpassed my expectations.

  • People are Talking: UMS presents John Malkovich in The Infernal Comedy at Hill Auditorium [plus AUDIO]:

  • While I found it disturbing and simply “creepy” at times, everything seemed very consistent with the research I did on Unterweger prior to the performance–including the white suite and black polka dot shirt as well as Unterweger’s uber-cocky demeanor. The most disturbing aspect for me was that pop culture could embrace this psychopath and make him feel so invincible. Makes me worry even more about reality TV that rewards bizarre behavior. Not a good reflection of our society. I think the performance elicited the intended reactions.
