Just caught Alysa Liu’s performance. What unmitigated joy. That smile is everything.

Just back from a meeting of our Westminster Presbyterian mission leadership with Christ Church’s refugee ministry team; what an impressive program the CC team has built. Looking forward to a meaningful partnership between our churches.

Well deserved. Thank you for your commitment, @timladerach.bsky.social (and thanks to @sandymarks.bsky.social as well).

Grateful for @ryanbelmore.bsky.social’s thoughtful analysis.

I will never understand why people can’t understand this.

Also, here’s a fun chance to hear the ASO in an intimate chamber music setting with music of Bach, Vivaldi, and Max Richter (who has scored pretty much every cool show you have watched in the past decade). March 27 at St. Paul’s in Old Town. Tickets available at the link below.

Get your subscriptions, guys. Our 2026-2027 performance season will be insane. Subscriptions (including discounted rates for students) are now available at alexsym.org.

You have run a wonderful campaign in this unfathomably short time, @timladerach.bsky.social. Glad to see so many more people get to know you.

This right here ☝🏻

Ha, I’m good with mine 🤣.

In the 35+ years I’ve lived in this city, there have been a handful of times that I have been embarrassed by this kind of fuckery, but this may take the cake.

Couldn’t even bring myself to go see this.

When should those of us in the ~700 expect to hear we’ve been “approved”?

An understanding of, or at least an appreciation for, the City budget development process is what I am looking for in my city council candidates. Encourage all who are interested to attend this session.

Longtime BFAAC-er here 🙋‍♀️.

Dear Husband received this award last year and it’s a point of pride in our household as @martaschantz.bsky.social knows.

Boston!

Nicely done, all!

Wow! I remember this…

Reporting says as an independent.

@chuckborges.bsky.social I know this has to be bittersweet, but hopefully more sweet than bitter at this point.

I’m on such a high from last night’s magnificent performance. The fact that I get to lead such an amazing organization as the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra still blows me away. I am one lucky person.

Ha, no; but not a bad idea. Come see what happens for yourself.

Go to alexsym.org on Tuesday to learn about subscriptions to our 2026-27 performance season featuring a dynamic cadre of four talented guest conductors (all of whom are so good-looking I’ve nicknamed them the Hot People), one of whom will be the next ASO Music Director and artistic leader in ALX.

Guys, your Alexandria Symphony Orchestra and the Washington National Opera Cafritz Young Artists absolutely kicked tail tonight. If you are local and haven’t heard our first-rate symphony, you are really missing out.

GTFOH. This is insane.

King biography with black and white cat

Just gutted by this brilliant MLK biography. Reading this at the same time as taking an Old Testament class focused on the biblical prophets has been particularly insightful.

2026 book thread, featuring Lakee (with nonfiction) and Trixie (with fiction)…#BookSky

Still a few tickets left for tomorrow evening. This romantic program is the perfect Valentine’s Day experience.
