...started with a week in New York City preparing for a concert with the New England Symphonic Ensemble. The week had been adventurously assorted: visiting friends, discovering the parks, street fairs, libraries and museums with my mom, practicing Haydn and Vivaldi in my hotel room, performing with the orchestra and several choirs to a crowd...
...fluorescent white ties folded to look like ascots. Offstage, the Hives prefer black T shirts that blare their individual rock-'n'-roll pseudonyms--Chris Dangerous, Dr. Matt Destruction, Howlin' Pelle Almqvist, Nicholaus Arson and Vigilante Carlstroem--in big block letters.

A corner of Tony Blair's old borough was transformed, momentarily, into a raucous outpost of Eastern Europe. And so it goes with Taraf...
Undergraduate Council President Lee informs the council that hip-hop group OutKast will not perform at Harvard at a proposed May concert, despite the efforts of the Harvard Concert Commission. Lee cites the band’s recent increase in booking rate and the short notice for the concert date. College administrators later canceled the concert, at which Wyclef Jean and Jurassic 5 were to perform, citing concerns that not enough tickets would be sold in the limited time period. The delay in ticket sales was caused by a delay in the signing of the contract with the bands...
