...logo for the Bloomington Early Music Festival at Indiana University features J.S. Bach in a plaid shirt standing in a cornfield next to a signpost listing the distances to Tucson, Ariz.; Leipzig, Germany; and Bloomington. The 14 concerts of medieval, Renaissance, baroque and classical music include works performed by adults on period instruments as well as a recital by elementary school students making a "joyful noyse" on recorders. Such whimsy has made a convert of Mia Dalglish, 16, a student at Bloomington High School South. "Early music can be stiff and boring--or the most beautiful music in the world...
...have much else in common with Eminem, but Helmuth Rilling, like the raunchy rapper, won a Grammy this year. Rilling, artistic director for the Oregon Bach Festival, got his for conducting the festival orchestra and chorus in a recording of Krzysztof Penderecki's Credo, an original work co-commissioned by the festival.

Invading the toy-filled pads of former stars who clearly invested well--like Sebastian Bach of Skid Row--chronicling the odd predilection of headbangers and thugz for cute lapdogs, Cribs has quickly become one of the channel's most popular shows, at 4 million viewers a week...
...child of classical musicians and a cellist himself, Jaakko Salovaara listened to Bach from birth, with some Twisted Sister and AC/DC thrown in. But when he heard acid house on a trip to London in '89, he was converted. He negotiated his teens with one hand on a bow and the other on a mixing deck. But the pulse of the club beat was stronger than the conductor's baton, and at 20 he launched a solo career as the dance artist JS16...
