Event Information
In an entertaining evening of music and comedy, created and conceived by violinist Aleksey Igudesman, actor John Malkovich slips into the role of the evil critic who traverses—and trashes— some of the best music of all time in a gleeful romp. The Music Critic is a compilation of some of the greatest-but-most-controversial, critically-lambasted-but-hugely-acclaimed-by-audiences orchestral works from around the world and from throughout musical history. Equipped with a frivolous potpourri of musical insults, Malkovich tears apart music inspired by the likes of Beethoven, Debussy, and Brahms. In addition, he hates Dvo?ák, Rachmaninoff, and the much disputed, yet beloved, Boléro by Ravel.
