Second, that I omitted to mention Francesca Fargion&#8217;s performance of Michael Parsons piano piece <em>Variations<\/em>. I shall make amends for this by writing about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cafeoto.co.uk\/events\/apartment-house-michael-parsons-at-80\/\">tomorrow night&#8217;s concert by Apartment House<\/a>, in celebration of Parsons&#8217; 80th birthday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Friday night at Cafe Oto watching Frederic and Jan Rzewski play I felt like not only had the year really started, but I had finally restarted.
