Mirga’s sick
NewsFrom the CBSO:
Due to illness Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla is sadly unable to travel to the UK and quarantine ahead of her scheduled performances with the CBSO on Wednesday 16 June.
The world premiere of Thomas Adès’s The Exterminating Angel Symphony (a CBSO Centenary Commission) will now be conducted by Thomas Adès, Steven Osborne will play/direct Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.23 and Purcell’s (arr. Stucky) Funeral Music for Queen Mary will be conducted by CBSO Leader, Eugene Tzikindelean. Dorothy Howell’s Lamia will be deferred to a later date.
Them bloody vaccines.
You either get the shot and fall sick, or you don’t get the shot and catch the mutant.
There are illnesses, incase you have forgotten, other than Covid or side effects from a vaccination, that can ground people.
E.g., AIDS and malaria with no vaccines.
So really, what’s the fuss?
In the real world the vaccines have made a massive positive difference.
Here is an interesting report. Enjoy.

I wouldn’t deny this.
In western industrial societies one is in quite a comfortable position to be able to chose among four vaccine brands.
One may even fly to Russia to check-out a fifth brand (to be taken together with blinis, caviar and vodka – otherwise it may not provide complete immunity).
However, it remains a highly competitive and partly exclusive process in support of group-selective theory and nationalism.
Noone at Slippedisk or anywhere else seems ever able to spell Eugene ( concertmaster’s) last name right…..
Can’t anyone at least try? By now he may well be losing his own identity

…maybe NL changed it after it was pointed out?
not with a bang but a whimper…
Mirga may be burning the candle at both ends; mother and full time conductor. Both are extremely demanding gigs.
Her profession must take its toll on her health.
Especially when you have young children.
I hope her illness is not serious and that she recovers rapidly.
This all shows that conductors aren’t indispensable. For this rearranged concert, the composer conducts his own composition, the pianist directs from the piano and the concertmaster takes over for the Purcell.
Excellent solution!
Ah well….. I have the other version of this ‘cancellation’ story…..and I’m informed Covid is not the issue.
you going to share ?
Mirga’s Sick [fill in the blank] did what?
Mirga’s sick baby got the conductor’s favorite baton stuck up her nose, perhaps?
