Hemispheres

Ok, I know that they said no photography, but the flashes were popping like champagne corks on New Year's Eve and when Rita actually posed for a photo, I figured it was OK.

Though mind you, I am sure the poor usher will be in the running for workers comp through the stress of trying to stop people flashing!

Rita was a fantastic performer, beautifully paced show, amazing the love she had in the room from the little girl at the front with her Mom, to the 70 year old man dancing in the seat in front of us to the teenagers singing along.

Hemispheres is a fantastic series of world music concerts, taking you around the world, curated by the genius Jaslyn Hall, who is doing much for my musical education.

Catch a Hemispheres if you can, to be transported to another part of the planet, if only for one night.
