By Lawrence A. Johnson Tenor Ian Bostridge performed songs of Beethoven and Schumann with pianist Imogen Cooper in a streamed recital presented by UChicago Presents. As in every large American city, the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent painful but necessary closing of concert venues eviscerated a year of high-profile events on Chicago’s music calendar—not least Lyric Opera’s long-planned Ring cycle.  But the loss of the 2020-21 season for the area’s smaller presenters was just as deeply felt. The University of Chicago Presents series had slated an especially rich and bountiful season that included such artists as Hélène Grimaud, Ian Bostridge, Susan Graham, Paul Jacobs, and Quatuor Diotima performing the late Beethoven quartets and complete Bartok quartets.   Like many presenting organizations, UChicago Presents under executive director Amy Iwano, is attempting to fill the current live-performance void with streamed concerts of some of the artists scheduled. Harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani performed Bach’s Goldberg Variations last weekend and Friday night the series offered Bostridge and pianist Imogen Cooper. The prerecorded stream will be available online through Sunday. Bostridge’s cancelled Mandel Hall recital was to be an all-Schubert evening, but this program of Beethoven and Schumann—taped live last September before a masked and socially distanced…

This year's five Academy Award-nominated shorts range from family friendly adventures to abstract heart breakers Yes-People (Shorts TV) The Oscars are always more fun when you've seen the movies; you have a stake in the show, plus, it's nice to feel cultured. But in a year when most audiences have been sheltering in place, viewers have been drawn more toward episodic TV series and less inclined toward watching feature-length films, even if they are streaming. The perfect compromise? Short films. The animated shorts, a personal favorite Oscar category, are no exception. This year, the Academy has nominated five very stylistically different but equally charming short films, and we're here to tell you everything there is to know about them, including how to watch them. "Burrow" (Disney+) USA, 6 min Director Madeline Sharafian's "Burrow" follows a young, naive bunny as she tries to create a perfect home. However, her attempts to do so don't go too smoothly, as every hole she digs leads to an unwanted encounter with a new neighbor. The bunny, terrified of the company of these other animals, keeps running away. Ultimately, the bunny learns about the importance of letting your community help you and embraces her neighbors as…

by Alex Billington April 13, 2021Source: Vimeo "I love him, and he loves me, too." Urtext Films has released a trailer for documentary We Don't Deserve Dogs, which was initially set to premiere at last year's SXSW Film Festival. Another wonderful film in the growing doggie doc subgenre along with Stray and Los Reyes. A contemplative odyssey across our planet, looking at the simple and extraordinary ways that dogs influence our daily lives. Former child soldiers in Uganda. A pub in a Scottish town. A dog walker on the streets of Istanbul. A kaleidoscope of unconventional portraits from fascinating locations. People need dogs, and perhaps they need us, but what do humans do to deserve the unconditional love they provide? A very good question… From the filmmakers: "We were very fortunate to travel the world to discover the unique bonds between dogs and humans." And the result is this sublime film. I'm quoted in this trailer near the end from my glowing SXSW review last year. Worth a watch. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Matthew Salleh's doc We Don't Deserve Dogs, from YouTube: Filmmakers Matthew Salleh and Rose Tucker embarked on a year long journey around the globe…
