The two 11-year-olds debuted their works during the New York Phil’s Music in the Parks programs last week. And they clearly know what they’re doing: “Both girls speak with clarity and command; there was no kids-say-the-darndest-things cuteness as they navigated topics like inspiration, writer’s block and gender disparity in classical music.”

Use The N-Word At Netflix? Not Even The Chief Communications Officer Can Do That Without Getting Fired
Reed Hastings, Netflix CEO, said in a letter in which he told the company about firing Jonathan Friedland, “I realize that my privilege has made me intellectualize or otherwise minimize race issues like this. I need to set a better example by learning and listening more so I can be the leader we need.”
In Hungary, A Pro-Government Site Says ‘Billy Elliott’ Is Gay Propaganda, And The Hungarian Opera Shuts It Down
Hungary’s government organs embrace homophobia as a matter of course, in this case causing the opera to cancel 15 of the planned performances of the musical. “Zsofia N. Horvath said that the musical’s message of ‘Dare to be yourself’ referred ‘of course’ to being gay. ‘How can such an important national institution as the opera go against the objectives of the state and use a performance made for young people around 10, at their most fragile age, for such pointed and unrestrained gay propaganda?’ she asked.”
An Orchestra Of Robots Will Perform For You Now
Well, not now, but soon. Italian musician Leonardo Barbadoro is “still in the Kickstarter stage of his album, entitled Musica Automata, and it’s ambitious: the full robot orchestra has 50 members, and he can control each of them from his laptop.”
The New Art Will Be Across The Water, In The Shipyard
That’s right, the new Boston Institute of Contemporary Art space is in the East Boston Shipyard, and the route is over the bay: “It’s accessible via a new ferry route negotiated by the museum to run from Memorial Day to Columbus Day between South Boston and the waterfront in Eastie, as locals call East Boston.”
How Did The British ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ Album Become A Bestselling Empire Of Pop Music Anthologies?
First come the songs, usually on memory sticks. Then the number crunching, via iPad and a lot of data. Then the vague predictions – and voilà! A child of 9 or 10 years old gets her first “Now,” as they’re known in Britain, and an addiction is born. “Nows tend to land at a particular moment in your young listening life. Some time after the realisation that the pop playing on the radio and out of Chinese restaurant speakers isn’t all indistinguishable mulch, but some time before you learn what albums really are and turn obsessive about track arrangement and liner notes.”
An Artist Tries To (Physically) Shift The Gun Debate
Shaun Leonardo is tired of people talking about guns. So, at the Guggenheim, he’s trying something different: “Mr. Leonardo, a former wrestler and college football player (who still has the physique to prove it) announced in advance that the performance would be inspired by one of the roughest sporting traditions to endure in the 21st century, the Italian Renaissance-era game of calcio storico. (Imagine a mix of rugby, soccer, martial arts, wrestling and fist-fighting rolled into one nearly lawless clash.)”
MoviePass Decides To Implement Surge Pricing For Popular Movies
Like … Uber? Yes, exactly: “Similar to the way ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft up their ride prices when demand is higher, MoviePass will add a surcharge to see films when demand is higher, such as during a movie’s opening weekend.”
After Abuse Allegations, AMC Yanks A Comedian’s Talk Show
Actress Chloe Dykstra posted a personal essay to Medium on Thursday in which, without naming comedian and Nerdist founder Chris Harwick, she said that “she had been in a three-year relationship with a man who repeatedly sexually assaulted her and enforced restrictive rules.”
The Point Of Getting An Arts Degree Isn’t Making Money, But Enriching Lives
Lyn Gardner is not having it: “Rather than being scandalised by the fact that those who are most creative – and the most creative thinkers – are likely to be paid less, the IFS draws the conclusion that students should consider later-life earnings when picking their subjects at GCSE and A level. This will allow them to access degree courses with a greater financial return. I guess that’s what happens when you turn higher education into a market-place and sell the old canard that the purpose of a degree is to boost earnings.”
