Nineteen top acts and up-and-coming stars will conjure up feel-good musical moods over ten concert evenings dedicated to a variety of genres. The star-studded line-up includes famous names like Grammy and Oscar winner John Legend, Finland's chart-toppers Sunrise Avenue, crossover king Ben Harper, high-flyers Lo & Leduc, song poet George Ezra, the one and only Ms. Lauryn Hill and many other acts. This year's BALOISE SESSION opens on 19 October with cool music: Sunrise Avenue from Finland is synonymous with melodious pop rock and huge chart successes. On the «Opening Night» Samu Haber and his band share the stage with the refreshing new talent from Thun, Veronica Fusaro. Enjoy «An Evening with …» John Legend. The superstar is performing two exclusive European concerts solo at the BALOISE SESSION, on 20 and 21 October. A heart-warming soul voice, a piano, a club-like setting around candlelit tables – all of which promises to give you goose bumps!! R&B singer Alina Amuri from Zurich and Basel’s own soul sister Nicole Bernegger will open the evening concerts. They hail from different cultures, but have one thing in common: both Californian Ben Harper and Jamaican Jimmy Cliff venerate Bob Marley and are hugely talented multi- instrumentalists. At the BALOISE SESSION on 25 October they celebrate «Crossover Night». On 26 October we bring big-name word acrobats to the BALOISE SESSION. Lo & Leduc from Bern are synonymous with intelligent, astute and absurd texts. Clueso from Erfurt delivers an intriguing mix of poetic depth, sensuality and emotion. Both are enjoying huge success with their «Hip-Hop-Pop». English «Songpoets» George Ezra and Jack Savoretti thrill their fans with their soulful sounds, great song-writing and passionate delivery. The two present a creative duel in words and sounds at the BALOISE SESSION on 27 October. Two generations, one passion: Buddy Guy is a living legend in the world of Chicago Blues. On 30 October the guitar god shares the stage with Beth Hart, arguably the most influential blues singer on today’s circuit. An evening dedicated to «Pure Blues»! BALOISE SESSION 2018 19 October – 6 November 2018 3 On 2 November the Brazilian supergroup Tribalistas, featuring Marisa Monte, Carlinhos Brown and Arnaldo Antunes, will be performing for the first time ever in Switzerland. The trio is accompanied by their compatriot Maria Gadú. A hot-blooded evening of Música Popular Brasileira awaits us, under the motto «Copa Do Brazil»! On 5 November we invite you to «Iconic Night». Ms. Lauryn Hill is a true icon and has taken the music world by storm, both as a member of «The Fugees» and as a solo artist. This year celebrates the 20th anniversary of her classic album «The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill». The concert is opened by shooting star Marius Bear from Appenzell. Independent, fresh, brand-new: that’s the motto for the concert on the evening of 6 November, which brings to Basel contributions from both sides of the Atlantic. Irish quintet Walking On Cars and gifted song-writer LP are «Indie Chartbreakers» straight out of the storybook who are wholly committed to their songs. «With great effort and attention to detail, we have once more compiled special musical tales for our visitors, taking them on a journey from the biggest Swiss hits to Brazil’s hottest supergroup, from an international star solo on the piano to a reggae legend. So once again this year we can deliver musical moments that promise to be unique and unforgettable – just like our intimate, candle-lit club-like setting», says CEO Beatrice Stirnimann. All concerts start at 8 pm and are held in the Event Hall of the Basel Fair. For more information on the programme and ticket sales, visit baloisesession.ch.

  • Four Years Ago, Jack Savoretti Quit Making Music. He
    KÜNSTLER: JACK SAVORETTI SINGLE: TIE ME DOWN ALBUM: WRITTEN IN SCARS LABEL: BMG Chrysalis/ rough trade LC: 19813 VÖ: 13.02.2015 Four years ago, Jack Savoretti quit making music. He’d had enough – of scratching a living as an independent artist, of business bust-ups, of being touted as a soon-to-be star. He’d spent two years (and all of his savings) in legal dispute with a former manager and seen the release of his second album so botched it barely came out. He was 26 and recently married, with a baby on the way. “I thought that was my run, I’d had fun and now it was time to get a proper job,” says Savoretti. “I was done with music and, honestly, I didn’t mind.” What happened next couldn’t have surprised the singer more. “As soon as I said, ‘screw this’, I couldn’t stop writing,” he recalls. “I wrote out of anger, although the songs were more of a cry for help. It was the best, most personal music I’d ever made. I realised I had really learnt how to write, how to express exactly what was in my head.” That album, 2011’s critically-acclaimed ‘Before The Storm’, saw Savoretti turn a corner. That he was an exceptional singer was never in dispute – those gorgeous, gritty, soul- soaked vocals that caused such a fuss when he first emerged and saw his DIY debut, 2007’s ‘Between The Minds’, championed by Radio 2 – but by his own admission, his early work was him finding his feet.

  • Reading Between the Minds: Intersubjectivity and The
    READING BETWEEN THE MINDS: INTERSUBJECTIVITY AND THE EMERGENCE OF MODERNISM FROM ROBERT BROWNING TO HENRY JAMES by Jennie Hann A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2017 © 2017 Jennie Hann All Rights Reserved DEDICATION For my parents, Alan and Mary Kay Hann And in memory of Shaughnessy ii Is the creature too imperfect, say? Would you mend it And so end it? Since not all addition perfects aye! Or is it of its kind, perhaps, Just perfection— Whence, rejection Of a grace not to its mind, perhaps? Shall we burn up, tread that face at once Into tinder, And so hinder Sparks from kindling all the place at once? —Robert Browning, “A Pretty Woman” (1855) Really, universally, relations stop nowhere, and the exquisite problem of the artist is eternally but to draw, by a geometry of his own, the circle within which they shall happily appear to do so. He is in the perpetual predicament that the continuity of things is the whole matter, for him, of comedy and tragedy; that this continuity is never, by the space of an instant or an inch, broken, and that, to do anything at all, he has at once intensely to consult and to ignore it. All of which will perhaps pass but for a supersubtle way of pointing the plain moral that a young embroiderer of the canvas of life soon began to work in terror, fairly, of the vast expanse of that surface, of the boundless number of its distinct perforations .

  • Law, Music, and Other Performing Arts
    ESSAY/BOOK REVIEW LAW, MUSIC, AND OTHER PERFORMING ARTS SANFORD LEVINSON AND J. M. BALINt "[I]nterpretation" is a chameleon. When a performing musician "interprets" a work of music, is he expressing the composer's, or even the composition's, "meaning," or is he not rather expressing himself within the interstices of the score? 1 -Richard Posner Today the conductor, more than any one musical figure, shapes our musical life and thought. That may not be how things should be, but it is the way they are. In a future, fully automated age, it may be that the conductor, along with all performing musicians, will be obsolete. Musical creators are working toward that day, assembling electronic scores that, once put on tape, never vary.... But until that unfortunate day is here, let us be thankful that there still remain interpretive musicians to synthesize the product of the composer. For without the interplay between the minds of the creator and interpreter, music is not only stale, flat and unprofit- able. It is meaningless.... Musical notation is an inexact art, no matter how composers sweat and strive to perfect it. Symbols and instructions on the printed page are subject to various interpreta- tions, not to one interpretation. 2 -Harold Schonberg The legislature is like a composer. It cannot help itself: It must leave interpretation to others, principally to the courts. -Jerome Frank3 t Levinson is St.John Garwood Chair in Law, University of Texas School of Law. Balkin is Charles Tilford McCormick Professor of Law, University of Texas School of Law. The authors wish to thank Joseph Dodge, Doug Laycock, Dennis Patterson, Richard Posner, Robert Post, Tom Seung, Allan Stein, Carol Weisbrod, and Jay Westbrook for their comments on previous drafts, as well as the participants in faculty workshops at Rutgers-Camden School of Law and the University of Texas School of Law, where earlier versions of this essay were presented.

  • 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.

Sarà la presentazione di un libro a dare il via alle celebrazioni estive del Centro di Serravalle. Il 27 giugno alle ore 18 nella piazza del lusso, Aperitivo con l’autore: un dialogo con Mario Calabresi, che racconterà il suo libro “Non temete per noi, la nostra vita sarà meravigliosa”. Il giornalista incontrerà i lettori per portarli sulle tracce di Peter, Aldo, Simonetta, Giovanni, Elia, Ugo e Tatiana, “ragazzi che non hanno avuto paura di diventare grandi”. Un incontro nato nell’ambito della partnership con il Festival della Comunicazione di Camogli (10-13 settembre 2015) di cui Serravalle Designer Outlet è sponsor e promotore. L’arte contemporanea troverà invece spazio per il secondo anno nelle piazze e nelle vie del Centro con una bellissima esposizione di opere e installazioni il cui tema sarà “I colori del viaggio.

Saranno 14 gli artisti che allestiranno splendide sculture, dipinti e installazioni: tra di loro Umberto Milani, l’italo americana Jessica Carroll e la giapponese Setsuko. Gli appuntamenti con la musica prenderanno il via il 18 luglio, con il concerto di Chiara, l’interprete di Due Respiri reduce dal successo sanremese dove ha partecipato con il brano Straordinario.
