Ruth's Music NotesRuth Crystal-Zaromp

SYMPHONIC NEWS

It was a special opportuni-ty to be able to hear a viola da gamba session at Ker-rytown Concert House this past Friday evening. The performing group featured two viola da gamba players and one harpsichordist per-forming baroque/classical music. The viola da gamba is shorter than a cello. It has its own type of sound and is not performed very often these days. Arnie Tanimoto, born and

raised in Ann Arbor, is gold medalist of the International Bach-Abel Competition and was the first viola da gamba major at Juilliard. His partners for the perfor-

mance were James Perretta, cellist and viola da gamba, and Nicola Canzano, harpsi-chordist and composer. The program included an excep-tional performance of Bach’s Sonata for Viola da Gamba in D Major, followed by equally impressive works of Carl Friedrich Abel (1723-1787), Johannes Schenck (1660-1712), and a work by harp-sichord performer and com-poser Nicola Canzano.

Tanimoto will be perform-ing again this coming Sat-urday, January 26, 8 p.m., at Friends Meeting House, 1420 Hill, Ann Arbor. With him will be Eric Tinkerhess, graduate of the Sorbonne. Free admission. On this coming weekend,

as well as the next one, Ker-rytown Concert House will be featuring a group of fine singers in cabaret events, titled Wine, Women and Song, (pictured). The funding from these events will help to cover expenses of Kerry-town Concert House. I have attended this type of event before and have found it to be highly exciting. The Chamber Music Society

of Lincoln Center is coming back to the Rackham Audito-rium in Ann Arbor on Friday, January 25, 8 p.m. The per-formers include Daniel Hope, violin, Paul Neubauer, viola, David Finckel, cello, and Wu Han, piano. They will be performing

Brahms’ 3rd Piano Quartet in C Minor, Op. 60, Piano Quartet in A Minor, Op. 1 by Josef Suk, and Dvorak’s Piano Quartet

No. 2 in E-flat Major, Op. 87. Suk was Dvorak’s son-in-law and studied under him. For further information, check UMS.org. The DSO is coming back

to the Max on this coming weekend and will be featur-ing two performances, one on Saturday, January 26 at 8 p.m., and also Sunday, Janu-ary 27 at 3 p.m. Karina Canellakis will be

the conductor and piano so-loist will be Lise de La Salle. La Salle will be soloist for Schumann’s Piano Concerto. The second half of the event will feature Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony, written during World War II. On Sunday, January 27th at

4 p.m., Chamber Music at the Scarab Club will be perform-ing at Grosse Pointe Unitari-an Church, at 17150 Maumee Ave.A program of woodwinds

and strings will be featur-ing nine performers. These include Jacqueline Csurgai-Schmitt, piano, Fr. Eduard Perrone, piano, Geoffrey Johnson, oboe, Brian Bow-man, clarinet, Eliot Heaton,

violin, Velda Kelly, violin, Ran Cheng, viola, Nadine De-leury, cello, and Robert Ro-hwer, double bass. The program will feature

Amy Beach’s Piano Quintet in F# Minor, Op. 67, Sergei Prokofiev’s Quintet in G Mi-nor, Op. 39 for oboe, clarinet,

violin, viola, and double bass, and M.E. Bossi’s Trio in D Mi-nor Op. 107 for piano, violin, and cello. To get tickets, call Velda

Foot Health Today

DR. JAMES SCHELBERG

DON’T NEGLECT PAIN QUESTION: Sometimes, for no reason at all, I get a sudden agonizing pain in my toes. Eventually it goes away. Is this something for me to be concerned about?

ANSWER: Pain is an indication that something is wrong and should not be ignored. Sometimes people injure their feet and are unaware of it at the time. There may be a fracture of the toes that will only show up on an x-ray. It’s also possible that you might have MORTON’S NEUROMA, a nerve inflammation of the toes.

PODIATRIST

Neglected, it can lead to chronic inflammation and overgrowth of the nerve. A sheath of scar tissue may form that can eventually require surgery. Your podiatrist can discover what, if anything, is wrong, and provide treatment as required.

Review by Don Campbell

Pass on Second-Class Glass

She interrupts a battle to confine them all in an psychiatric hospital along with Glass. Her goal is to persuade them that they are just ordinary people and suggests they have no real super powers. She is a conversion thera-

pist determined to dis-suade Dunn and Crumb from the notion they are superheroes (or super-villians) or anything else.She would just like an MRI from the silent Glass. Flashing strobe lights

cause Crumb to jump from one personality to the next. Dunn is contained by the threat of powerful wa-ter jets at the ready. Price is confined to a wheel-chair. Anya Taylor-Joy is Casey Cooke. She was in Split, but the movie really didn't know quite what to do with her. Glass's mother and

Glass is the story of super-heroes being discredited. It brings together two of

M. Shyamalan's related movies. Split, released in 2016 and Unbreakable from 19 years ago. James McAvoy plays Kev-

in Crumb who actually has 24 distinct personalities. One of which is the 'Beast'. He does some evil things but without suspense or horror. Bruce Willis plays David

Dunn, a reluctant super hero whose weakness is water. Samuel L. Jackson re-

prises his role as the evil genius Elijah Price. His fragile bones gave him the nickname of Glass, where the movie got its name. These three (or is it 26

people?), are reunited when captured by Dr. El-lie Staple, played by Sarah Paulson.

Dunn's son also make ap-pearances. Glass turns out to be not so sedentary af-ter all. He breaks Crumb out and has planned some Beast carnage in a nearby prominent building in downtown Philadelphia. Then Dunn overcomes his cell and we are set for a cli-matic battle royal. But instead of being a

high-rise ruckus it turns into a parking lot brawl. The fight scene could have been better. There was a predictable water chal-lenge and the breaking of bones. The surprise end-ing is feeble and disap-pointing, especially when coupled with the alleged power of multi-media. The last scene was the sur-vivors sitting together in a train station. The Wall Street Journal

said, 'Glass' Dismissed. I agree.
