November 23, 2010 by Al Cole

[HTML1]Mikko Nissinen, the masterful Artistic Director of Boston Ballet and Boston Ballet School is interviewed by Al Cole of Cole & Noble present People of Distinction.

Since becoming the Artistic Director of Boston Ballet, audiences and critics have noted the Company’s remarkable development under Nissinen’s regime. The New York Times stated “Boston Ballet has come a vast distance. Its dancers are striking by national and international standards”. The Boston Globe called Boston Ballet’s transformation one of the “biggest arts stories of the decade”.

And here’s a wonderful & highly cultural coincidence. Mikko Nissinen directed the Marin Ballet in San Rafael, California from 1996-1998. A few years before that Pat Lynch, CEO of WomensRadio, served on the board of the Fresno Ballet where she helped to raise funds to produce the first new Nutcracker in over 20 years. Nissinen’s own choreography includes productions of Swan Lake, and an award winning The Nutcracker of his own!

Gotta keep the culture in the family as Boston Ballet’s Mikko Nissinen performs proudly on the Cole & Noble stage!

About Al Cole

Al Cole, “Mr. Romance,” has lived some life, and has paid some dues. Al, an African-American man(don’t let the blue eyes fool ya!), is the product of a very loving, very special, romantic mother and father. From the earliest age Al related to that generous, loving, romantic spirit that was nurtured in him.

Al has also seen oppression. Oppression can sometimes breed sensitivity and empathy. This aspect of living has caused Al to relate to women even more sensitively and empathetically. A sensitivity and empathy that Al calls “Romance.” Creativity rounds out the character. Al is a born and professional entertainer. Through Al’s singing and songwriting, his CBS Radio broadcasting, and through the depth of his voice, Al has learned many ways to deliver his “Romance” message—seriously, comically, sensually and spiritually. He has carried the Romantic word out to women…and to men too. And in the carrying of that message, Al has found that women and men from all backgrounds have often asked for his advice and guidance concerning their familial and romantic relationships.

Al has been particularly blessed to have women confide some of their deepest personal and relationship secrets to him. These “secrets” coupled with his own experiences and intuitions have combined in his offering both women and men some of the most powerful, enlightening, and mind-challenging guidance that they say they have ever received.

Al has been told over and over again by his fans, fans who affectionately call themselves “Al Cole-holics”, that his reflections, as well as his romantic words, could fill a book. The reflections, the romance, and the “secrets” have now been revealed in Al’s new book Romance for Women…& For All Mankind!

Al is also the Host of Al Cole: People of Distinction on WomensRadio. Al Cole: PEOPLE Of DISTINCTION is a unique show giving distinctive public figures the chance to talk not only about their great public accomplishments, but also notable aspects of themselves as individuals...what motivates them to create the things they do, their special goals and interests, their insights into life itself!
