...especially attractive to composers looking for virtuoso showpieces, and for no instrument has the opera been more metamorphosized in this manner than the violin. Pablo de Sarasota's Carmen Fantasy is probably the most famous, but there are also violin works by the German composer Franz Taxman and the Hungarian Jennie Hubby. Friday's concert marked a first in that Sham excerpted the most difficult parts from each of these three pieces and created one magnificent virtuoso showpiece...
However, for the uprooted hunters who are suffering twinges of withdrawal from deer-blinds and venison sausage, relief can be found a short drive away in surrounding areas and states.

"The shame kept me there," he says. Of course, the hot wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and elsewhere offer plenty of drama, and it is exciting to hear a mercenary talk about fighting in Angola.

...multi-year Hungarian national champion had her fill of Eastern Europe and is now tearing up American soil. During her first meet in a Harvard uniform in December, Gyorffy shattered school records in both the high jump--her specialty--and the triple jump, which she says she only did "because I like...
