Elizabeth Rowe has been the face of the orchestra in marketing campaigns, and she and the only other woman who’s a principal in the orchestra were featured soloists in a tour of Japan. Yet “pay disparities can be significant. Ms. Rowe, 44, is paid about $70,000 less each year than John Ferrillo, 62, the principal oboist, based on data in the lawsuit and tax records. That is despite the fact that they play next to each other and are both ‘leaders of the orchestra in similarly demanding artistic roles,’ according to the lawsuit.”

The National Gallery Of London Buys A Painting By Artemesia Gentileschi, Raising Its Number Of Works By Women To 21
That’s out of 2300 artworks that the National Gallery owns, by the way. But anyway, the National Gallery spent millions of pounds on this rare painting. Gentileschi “was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia del Disegno in Florence and largely rejected the subject matter expected of female artists, preferring to paint heroic women, often in the nude.”
Yes, They’re Marketed Brilliantly, But Why Are We Obsessed With Superhero Movies?
What do they say about us, about our time period? What will historians say in the future, when this time (the time of the superhero) is, at long last, over? “Gone is respect for the rule of law and the importance of tradition and community. Institutions and human knowledge are useless. Religion is irrelevant. Governments are corrupt and/or inept, when not downright evil. The empowered individual is all.”
There’s A New, 90-Minute Tour Of The Louvre, Based On Beyoncé And Jay-Z’s Video
Their song “Apeshit” has been viewed tens of millions of times on YouTube since it came out, and the Louvre is not unaware of their influence. Now the museum, “which already has a tour based on the US rapper will.i.am’s hit ‘Smile Mona Lisa,’ has created another based on the Carters’ night in the museum. It follows the video through 17 paintings and sculptures which feature in the six-minute clip, going from the monumental white Greek marble ‘Nike of Samothrace’ to Marie Benoist’s ‘Portrait of a Negress.'”
This Curator Had A Job Offer At MoMA’s PS1 – Until They Learned She Had A Baby
The curator was pregnant – visibly so – when she “continued to have face-to-face meetings, conversations and correspondence with Mr. Eleey and with Klaus Biesenbach, PS1’s director, according to the complaint. In fact, she says she saw Mr. Biesenbach just eight days before she gave birth to her first child, a son, in late July.” But later, he seemed shocked that she’d had a baby – and the job offer was soon off the table.
Without The Musician Drake, Toronto Would Lose A Lot Of Tourist Money
Seriously, a study shows that he may be worth as much as $440 million to Toronto. (Be sure to watch the video.)
Tracking Down A Father’s Actions Through His Favorite Novels
What does it say about a dad that he adores the original Swedish noir? “Sjöwall and Wahlöö didn’t just inspire other Scandinavian writers to embrace the murder mystery: they shaped the genre so completely that all of their descendants bear their eccentricities. The Martin Beck series is bizarre, a fitting starting point for what has become a multimillion-dollar industry selling other bizarre, exasperating books.”
The Man Booker Prize Turns 50, Flawed But Still The Best Judge Of English-Language Literature
Or is it? “AL Kennedy, an otherwise seasoned critic, was moved to declare the prize ‘a pile of crooked nonsense’ in which the winner was decided by ‘who knows who, who’s sleeping with who, who’s selling drugs to who, who’s married to who, and whose turn it is.'”
Great Protest Music Outlasts Its Time (And Then Comes Around Again)
“Truly great works build a bridge not only between the concerns of their time and a longer historical struggle, but also between the performer’s feelings and the common well of human sentiment. The most consequential protest songs get referenced again and again for a reason: their power, both felt and understood, never dies.”
How *Lady Bird* Made A Star Out Of Its Main Character’s Best Friend
Beanie Feldstein played the titular character’s best friend Julie – and she stole most of the scenes she was in, with people tweeting “I want a movie about Julie!” Instead, Feldstein landed her first lead role. “As soon as we saw her in Lady Bird, we knew we’d both found Johanna and seen someone who was going to be a superstar. … From the moment you see her, you root for her.”
