Well, there’s a whole other level of skill on display at the New England Sand Sculpting Festival, taking place on the North Shore’s Revere Beach July 13–15. Master sand artists from around the world travel to the Massachusetts seaside every year to build some of the most amazingly detailed, intricate and just plain massive sand sculptures you’ll ever see. The sculptors work on their pieces beginning July 9, and passerbys can watch them create everything from roller- coasters to cartoon characters, before the Festival itself (complete with food, games and fireworks) kicks into high gear and visitors get their chance to view the award-winners and cast their vote for the People’s Choice. For the hard-working artisans, this may be no day at the beach, but for Festival attendees it’s a truly breathtaking sight.

  • The World Teamtennis Pro League Today Announced the League Has Added a Franchise in Washington, D.C
    World TeamTennis adds team, Washington Kastles, in Washington D.C. NEW YORK, N.Y. (February 14, 2008) - The World TeamTennis Pro League today announced the League has added a franchise in Washington, D.C. The Washington Kastles, owned by a group led by venture capitalist and entrepreneur Mark Ein, will play their home matches at a Washington, D.C., location soon to be announced. The 2008 WTT regular season runs July 3-23 with the WTT Championship Weekend set for July 24-27 in Roseville, Calif. World TeamTennis, co-founded in 1974 by tennis legend Billie Jean King, features several generations of tennis pros competing in a co-ed pro league in communities throughout the U.S. each summer. This is the first Washington, D.C.-based team in the League’s 33-year history. “Washington D.C. is a world-class sports market that will be a showcase for World TeamTennis,” said WTT CEO/Commissioner Ilana Kloss. “We’ve looked at this market for several years as a great location for expansion. Thanks to the leadership and vision of Mark Ein, everything came together for it to happen this year.” “Area fans have supported tennis for many years and we think they will really embrace our unique brand of tennis,” added Kloss. The Kastles will select their lineup when they draft sixth out of 11 teams at the WTT Player Draft on April 1 in Miami. Washington will play seven home matches and seven matches on the road during the month-long season. The team is currently looking at several potential locations to build a temporary stadium for the season.

The Utah Symphony is con- ducted by Thierry Fischer. Founded in 1962, the A Cappella Choir offers singers the opportunity to perform works for larger choirs and to fi ne- tune the art of choral singing through exposure to music from Utah Chamber Artists the Renaissance through the twenty-fi rst century. Choir mem- bers hone musicianship skills such as rhythm, sight-reading, and the understanding of complex scores. They develop an understanding of the intricacies of vocal production, includ- ing pitch, and how to blend individual voices together into a unifi ed, beautiful sound. In recent years, the A Cappella Choir has become a standard of excellence in student singing in the State of Utah. Last fall, they sang Mozart’s Trinity Mass with the Utah Symphony and the Utah Symphony Chorus under the direction of Thierry Fischer. This renewed a tradition of collaboration between the choirs of the University of Utah and the Utah Symphony, and their outstanding performance resulted in invitations for return engagements in 2015. Utah Chamber Artists was established in 1991 by Barlow University of Utah Chamber Choir Bradford and James Lee Sorenson. The ensemble comprises forty singers and forty players who create a balance and so- nority rarely found in a combined choir and orchestra.
