  • When International Stars Like Rod Stewart, Zucchero Or P!Nk Come to Basel, the BALOISE SESSION Is Sure to Be the Reason
    When international stars like Rod Stewart, Zucchero or P!nk come to Basel, the BALOISE SESSION is sure to be the reason. For the past 31 years, major stars have been coming to this popular Swiss boutique-music festival and have left festival audiences with concert memories they will never forget. Visitors are not only thrilled by the big stars, but also often by the many newcomers at the festival. With pop, rock, singer-songwriter, soul, funk, blues, jazz and world music all in the programme, the richly diverse line-up offers a range of music styles that appeals to all of its approx. 20,000 visitors. Music stories told in an intimate setting One very special feature of the BALOISE SESSION is the close proximity to the stars and the unique club-like setting with round tables and candlelight. The festival guests get up close to internationally renowned stars that generally play for well over ten thousand people in a concert hall which seats only 1,500 people. The intimate setting with seating at small round tables creates the ambiance of New York- style music clubs. Giant screens ensure that the audience members who are seated at the very back also will not miss any detail of the fascinating stage show. Another unique feature of this indoor music festival in Basel is that each evening, two or three artists are presented who are linked in some way, giving them a common thread with which they can weave a story to thrill the audience throughout the evening. Instead of unrelated concerts that are simply slotted back to back, the audience at the BALOISE SESSION experiences a well-rounded evening with artists who have similar stylistic, historical, geographical backgrounds or some other shared characteristic which is often surprising.

The financial impact on PBS Hawai‘i was sharp and deep, reflecting the suffering of our fellow Islanders. When schools shut down, students lacking digital access were hard-pressed to join their classmates online. As an educational media organization, we had already made these moves: • Substantially strengthened our statewide over-the-air broadcast relay system so that many homes in under-resourced areas across the Islands can better receive our programming, without the household cost of wi-fi, cable, or satellite dishes. • Launched, in 2019, an additional channel, PBS KIDS 24-7, distributed over-the- air, on cable, online and via satellite, which provides curriculum-rich, engaging programming for children ages 2-8.

    EXHIBITING ANCIENT GREEK ARCHITECTURAL SCULPTURE: A COMPARISON OF THE HERITAGESCAPE AND VISITOR RESPONSES IN TEN EUROPEAN COLLECTIONS by LAURA JANE CAROLINE SNOOK A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the exhibitions of Greek architectural sculpture in ten European collections. The exhibitions used as case studies display both original sculptures and plaster copies. These displays can be found in the Acropolis Museum, Athens; the British Museum, London; the Musée du Louvre, Paris; the Archaeological Museum of Olympia, Olympia; Delphi Archaeological Museum, Delphi; the Museum of Classical Archaeology, Cambridge; the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, Oxford; the Kongelige Afstøbningssamling, Copenhagen; and the Skulpturhalle, Basel. These exhibitions are assessed using the heritagescape methodology, considering the boundaries, visibility and cohesion within the displays. This assessment is then compared with the results of a survey of visitors to the same exhibitions, asking for their responses to interpretive material within the exhibitions, specifically, tours, models, pictures, information labels and videos.
