Laurie Berkner has wanted to be a rock star ever since she was in high school. But when she dreamed of headlining a sellout touring festival, with fans dancing in the aisles of places like the Rosemont Theatre--a venue outside Chicago that has been host to Bruce Springsteen and David Bowie--this gig was not what she had in mind. At 36, Berkner is playing the Rosemont all right, but there are face painters in the lobby and changing tables in the rest rooms, and most of her fans--2,500 of them at this show alone--come...
...tour started in New Jersey in October with Milkshake and the Ohmies, a band based in Baltimore, Md., that introduces kids to world music and yoga at the same time. The first five shows were designed, says producer Dana DuFine, as a proof of concept, before a bigger run this spring, and all sold out. (Scalpers were reportedly asking up to $350 for the $25 tickets.) The next leg kicks off in early March in California, with Zanes headlining. By the end of the year, DuFine hopes to have staged around 60 Jamarama shows across the country...
...terribly surprising when a couple of kids like Britney and Justin or a couple of oddballs like Angelina and Billy Bob split up. But LANCE ARMSTRONG and SHERYL CROW had seemed different--steeled by age (he's 34; she's 43) and serious about their commitments (seven Tour de France wins and nine Grammys don't come easy). Yet after a five-month engagement, Armstrong and Crow called it quits in a statement asking for "privacy during this very difficult time." O.K., though we are curious about what happens to the 6-carat rock she showed Barbara Walters last year...
...gazing outward, but for inner contemplation, where the silence is broken only by the tolling of church bells. To hold the games, Torino, known more for its industry than its tourist allure, has undertaken a glossy transformation of its own. Ginio Cerutti, a retired typesetter who volunteers as a tour guide at the abbey, explains that his hometown "lives in the shadow of the Alps, but it's more than just a mountain town." Throughout its history, he says, "it has always found ways to reinvent itself." Torino has lived many lives. Closer both in kilometers and character to Paris...
During the summer of 2000, when renowned cellist Matthew W. Haimovitz ’96 could have toured with a symphony orchestra, he instead gave lessons to several young cellists, myself included, at a small music camp in the Berkshires. I remember the same man who played in Carnegie at age 13 ate on picnic benches with his students and played Bach for us in a barn. Today, Haimovitz is still willing to get his hands dirty to help people fall in love with classical music and he makes sure that everyone is welcome. Haimovitz’s approach...
