  • Music Reading Read the Passage, the E-Mail and the Festival Guide. the Glastonbury Festival Is an Unforgettable Sight. for Three
    Music Reading Read the passage, the e-mail and the festival guide. The Glastonbury Festival is an unforgettable sight. For three days, 280 hectares of peaceful farm country in the beautiful Somerset Valley become a vast, colourful tent city. The Glastonbury Festival is Britain's largest outdoor rock concert, and it attracts crowds of more than 100,000 people. It has six separate stages for musicians to play on. It has eighteen markets where fans can buy things. It has its own daily newspaper and is even broadcast live on television. It also raises large amounts of money for several charities, including Greenpeace and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Glastonbury is just one of many events on the international music festival calendar each year. For dance music fans, there's Creamfields, the Essential Festival and Homelands - all in the UK. Rock fans have Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Fuji Rock and Summer Sonic in Japan, and the Livid Festival and the Big Day Out in Australia. And the crowds just keep getting bigger. In fact, the size of some of these festivals is causing problems. Since the deaths of nine people at Roskiide in 2000 and the death of a young woman at the 2001 Big Day Out, festival organisers and local police have been working together to make sure festival-goers stay safe. Despite these tragic events, festivals are more popular than ever. And it's not just about the music. It's about making new friends and partying non-stop for days at a time. It's about dancing till you can't stand up anymore and then crashing in someone else's tent.

  • Listen to “Circles and Squares”, the Official Song of the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2021
    February 19, 2021 Lausanne, Switzerland Listen to “Circles and Squares”, the Official Song of the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2021 Today marks the unveiling of “Circles and Squares”, the official song for the 2021 ISU World Figure Skating Championships. The song is performed by international artists Måns Zelmerlöw and Polina Gagarina and was specially commissioned for the event, which will be held at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm (SWE) from March 22 – 28. The songwriters Måns Zelmerlöw, Stefan Örn, David Lindgren Zacharias, Sandra Bjurman, and Jon Eyden, took their inspiration from Figure Skating. “We wanted to write a song with a slightly serious tone and at the same time bring out the beauty that exists between two Figure Skaters, the passion, the art, and of course mutual respect. This is mirrored in the arrangement of the song that has an intro full of expectation before we bring in the full orchestra that takes the song to the heights we wanted to hit,” says Stefan Örn. They wanted to create a soaring sound, which they did by recording the song in the historical Atlantis Studio. Everything was recorded live, except from the string orchestra, which was recorded by Erik Arwinder. “It’s always fantastic to start with an idea, and then develop it into a full-scale production. Few people have the privilege of working at this level, and I’m humbled to have had this opportunity. Circles and Squares is crafted by a team that I’m proud to work with and right now we’re looking forward to the release of this world-class track!” Örn adds.

  • Sister Helen Martinez - Journal for November 17-21, 2014
    UN Update - Sister Helen Martinez - Journal for November 17-21, 2014 Saturday morning I went to meet a former colleague from Presentation Elementary- Noreen Greene Fraize, and her daughter, Alanna. Alanna is in her fourth year of studying opera at the Metropolitan School of Music with a focus on Opera. We had brunch at the French Café. I worked all day on Sunday on an analysis response to the Open Working Group proposals for Sustainable Development Goals. My contribution was sent to Elsa who is working with two others. Monday morning, we were fortunate to have some time to hear the experiences of Sister Mary Jo Toll, SNDN, Veronica Brand, RSHM and Justine Gitanjali Senapati, CSJ. They shared their experiences of coming to work at the UN as NGO representatives of their congregations. It was helpful to hear that it takes time to learn how to contribute to various groups according to interests. I feel proud that IPA is part of the UN that influences and impacts systemic change for the world. It fits into how our focus here is on the social protection floor for human rights of people. I learned that NGOs have grown in their influence in draft resolutions by their ability to contact Permanent Missions – in part because religious are involved on the ground level in so many countries. Time here is spent doing research, meeting and participating in working groups, task forces, attending the various sessions at the UN and then sharing this information with those who can influence change. Advocacy work consumes about half of their time.

  • Garbage & the Temper Trap Join for Next Winery Series!
    Media Release – Thursday July 28 GARBAGE & THE TEMPER TRAP JOIN FOR NEXT WINERY SERIES! With the Preatures, Tash Sultana and Adalita a day on the green has assembled an epic line-up for its next series of winery concerts. Alt-rock pioneers Garbage and Australia’s own multi-platinum chart toppers The Temper Trap will come together as part of their respective national tours for five outdoor events through November/December. The concerts will feature a stellar under-card with special guests The Preatures, Tash Sultana and Adalita. The five band bill kicks off at Victoria’s Rochford Wines on Saturday November 26. These will be the Garbage’s first Australian shows since 2013 and celebrate their acclaimed sixth studio album Strange Little Birds (out now via Liberator Music). To create Strange Little Birds, their first album in four years, Garbage (Shirley Manson, Steve Marker, Duke Erikson and Butch Vig) drew on a variety of influences including the albums they loved growing up. Upon its June release, the album debuted at #9 on the ARIA Album Chart and picked up widespread acclaim: ‘20-plus years after forming, each band member is still fired up to mine new sounds and approaches for inspiration. That willingness to be uncomfortable and look beneath the surface makes Strange Little Birds a rousing success.’ – The A.V. Club ‘The electronic rockers return with a sixth studio album as cool and caustic as their 1995 debut’ – NME ‘Garbage haven’t released an album this immediate, melodically strong and thematically interesting since their self-titled 1995 debut.’ – Mojo In support of the album’s release, Garbage performed a powerful two-song performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! – watch ‘Empty’ here and ‘Push It’ here.
