Bells Brewery has announced plans to release a series of beers inspired by the planets — but not just the planets, by Gustav Holst's Planets orchestral suite. That means there will be seven beers to correspond to the suite's seven movements, starting with a Mars double IPA and ending with a "mystical stout" for Neptune.
Can classical music be funny? Cinda Yager says yes, and shares a few pieces she considers LOL-worthy — including one surprising selection from Beethoven's oeuvre.
On Saturday, a Minneapolis boy attracted hundreds of people to his front-porch piano recitatl — with the help of a neighbor who saw eight-year-old Dylan Spoering's handmade sign and created a Facebook event to spread the word. We shared live video of the show, which you can watch here.
