One of my favorite ways to enjoy music: live, among friends. Avi Lebovich & the Orchestra gave a terrific concert this past Sunday, September 29, 2013, with the emphasis on giving. The talented ensemble has been sharing new materials with the audience at The Zone, in a trio of performances called “The Lab.”\u00a0 I missed the first, but was very glad to be there the other night for #2, featuring the original compositions of Amit Friedman, and a first performance of a piece by Yonatan Albalak, with guest musician Katia Toobool on keyboards and special guest, percussionist Ron Iwryn.<\/p>\n

It was an exceptional evening, all the more so for the incredible vibes of the people and place. Listening to the music, watching the orchestra members listen to one another – all the cares of the day, the cynicism of our crazy lives – it all disappears and all that remains is the music, and a smile. Don’t be sad because you missed it: Muperphoto has captured the feeling of this wonderful night in his photographs. Enjoy & look forward to Lab #3, with adaptations of those little-known Liverpudlians (yes, you literal minded folk, The Beatles) on Sunday, October 13, 2013.<\/p>\n
