It's hard to convey the experience of a virtual concert to those who are not active within Second Life. Thank you Charlie for filming Izabel's concert and sharing it with the world.
Have you missed Enniv? I know I have! The seemingly irrepressible Second Life artist simply wore himself out with all his activities in two worlds. I don't know of anyone in SL that has been more active. Enniv composes, performs, hosted an SL television program, did machinama and was an important…
The rising star of the Italian piano keyboard returns to the Music Island stage in support of the Peace Festival (additional Peace Festival events will be happening at Music Island, throughout the Cedar Island region and across Second Life) About the Artist: ALESSANDRO MARANGONI pianoforte (Benito Flores in Second Life) Alessandro Marangoni…

So you want to play a concert on Music Island? That's great! We need more musicians, more music, more art in Second Life. It is not possible to have too much and there's a place that fits everyone to showcase their art. But is Music Island the right venue for you…
Probably not. I have to make a disclaimer upfront that so far my experience with SL's brand of artist-manager has been abysmal. So much so that I have sometimes thought of following a strict, "we don't deal with artist managers" policy. In RL, I quite like most people in the arts management…
Usually on Music Island, we sit, listen to the Music and maybe exchange a few thoughts, appreciative comments or q & a's by text during the concerts. Yesterday's rousing concert of European folk music was different. Holland based fiddler, Naftali Torok was hard to resist. Bavid led the way, first getting up and dancing and…
A great and informative piece on SLCN (now Treet)
And I hope they come and do a show at Music Island soon :-)
July 11 @ 1 pm Naftali Torok Roots of European Music, is a complementary concert to the following weeks program. Composers drew on the inspiration of the gypsy fiddle, klezmer music and other folk traditions to inspire, enliven and paint the landscapes in their classical works. Experience the original sources of this rich…
