Feedback on First ever ''Fête de la Musique'' in London
Feedback on First ever ''Fête de la Musique'' in London
First Article
Bravo ! - for the initiative, and for importing one of France's best inventions. We usually try to be in France for the Fete - so this was agood consolation prize. The first prize has to go to the Goethe institute - they had the bonus of the setting, but also the chutzpah of the presentation,and the music itself, was excellent. The only problem there, though, was that there was too much ! As many as three acts going on at any one time, at the same venue really does spoil one for choice. I felt that it was a shame that the Institut Francais missed a trick in not utilising the courtyard better- surely an ideal setting for the fete ? Imperial College had a great setting, fantastic music, but under-utilised it in terms of the amount of music played - just compare it to the Goethe. The Serpentine gallery also had a great setting, but missed out on an opportunity to serve refreshments - again, look to Imperial - comparing with the Goethe or IF would be invidious, as they already have catering already on site.The Serpentine also suffered from appalling delays - as did the Natural History Museum - and atrocious venue for noise and accoustics. LAst word, though, must be a big "merci" to Ricard - a glass of Ricard always transports me to France - I could almost have been on Bendor ! Well done for all of the great efforts of all involved, and roll on next year ! Regards, Nigel |
