Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and special guest Anoushka Shankar (Ravi’s sitar-playing daughter) make a stop in South Orange this Friday evening before their gig at Carnegie Hall on Saturday. On the program are works of Hayden, Mozart, Kodaly, and of course Shankar. With the chilling weather, tolls, and parking, I’d vote for the closer and more cost-effective venue. If you’re travelling green, take NJ Transit (even on weekends), which practically leaves you at SOPAC’s box office. Four east-bound trains arrive in South Orange between 7-8pm; one west-bound train from NYC arrives in South Orange at 7:47pm. Friday’s curtain time is 8pm.
Now, SOPAC will make it even easier to enjoy the Orpheus concert. Email us now. The first two people we hear from will get a pair of tickets to the performance. You don’t even have to write haiku.
Anoushka played at the Concert for George several years ago at the Royal Albert Hall. She was super.
She’s amazing.
I see from her website that she did some gigs in India with Jethro Tull. Now *that* I’d be interested in seeing.
Would calling her Norah Jones’ sitar-playing half sister make her more relevant?
Anoushka has a very different audience than her half sister. She is incredibly well known and popular in India.
Trains don’t run in Montclair on weekends, so how can a baristaville you “go green?”

Why would someone take a train from Bloomfield or Montclair to South Orange? It’s 6 miles away!
You can take the 92 bus from Bloomfield Center. It goes right into South Orange.
Oh, and Sandy, not everyone drives.
Yes, that’s true. Just have to dtop & think! (I never knew anyone that didn’t. other than my Grandmother, and IF she was still alive, she’d be 144.
