By Alyson Brodsy and Associated Press · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:22 a.m.

8 of 23 Broadway shows go on

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Kuchwara · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:20 a.m.

NEW YORK -- Many theaters were dark and strangely quiet, but the show went on for eight of 23 Broadway productions, including such big musicals as "The Producers," "Hairspray" and "Thoroughly Modern Millie." "In a way, we have to treat it as any other day, as far as going out there and performing," said Brad Oscar, star of "The Producers," the laugh-filled Mel Brooks musical. "We can't bring on stage the gravity and the weight and the enormity of what Sept. 11 means, especially with this show. And it's that contrast which makes performing on Wednesday so hard."

Local symphony orchestra welcomes new conductor

By Julia Balnford and Julia Blanford · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:19 a.m.

During an early autumn evening last Thursday filled with wine, music and conversation, over 150 musicians, patrons and Monroe County public welcomed Leonardo Panigada as the new conductor of the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra at the Oliver Winery. Co-sponsored by 103.7 WFIU, IU's public radio station, the BSO fundraising event opened at 6:30 p.m. to guests with gourmet hors d'oeuvres and a plethora of Oliver wines for visitors to taste. Providing the evening's entertainment was Karl Sturbaum's Jazz Group, whose lead member, Karl Sturbaum, is a cellist for the BSO. With jazz music floating in the humid, twilight air, guests browsed the tables laden with prizes for the night's raffle. Among the gifts were concert, theater and sports tickets, gift baskets, retail gift certificates, fine arts and crafts, CDs and more. The master of ceremonies for the night was George Walker, the classical music programmer for WFIU. Opening the evening with welcome remarks, Walker soon gave the microphone away to Panigada, whose thick accent gave all in attendance a hint of what is to come for the BSO concerts.

By Alyson Brodsy and Brandon Morley · Thursday, Sept. 12,2002 1:01 a.m.

Sept. 11, 2001, was equivalent to memories of Pearl Harbor and memories of the assassination of JFK. It was the MTV generation's shocking awakening to the world. In the year since the occurrence of Sept. 11, an event unmistakably scarring the minds and hearts of people around the world, several songs have become anthems capturing the emotions describing what we saw, as a collective mind, first hand.

VIENNA, Austria -- Sergei Dreznin knows it's risky to debut a musical about Sept. 11 on the anniversary of the attacks. However, Dreznin, a Moscow-born composer who lives in New York City, says he couldn't resist capturing how the spirit of New York has endured. He felt compelled as an artist, he says, "to tell the most important story that could possibly be told."

Comfort brews at coffee shops

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Sept. 10,2002 12:18 a.m.

Sometimes all you need is a study break. Starbucks, Soma, Copper Cup, Borders and Barnes and Noble are all excellent study breaks, friendly hang out spots and a good place to go on either a hot summer day, or a cold winter night. Even the Hoosier Café offers Starbucks coffee where students find themselves studying, eating or just chilling with their friends. Students can either curl up in a comfortable chair and read a book, or write a paper on a table that looks like a chessboard.

NEW YORK -- Wall Street and Madison Avenue never cross -- in New York City, it's geographically impossible. On television, however, the two boulevards intersect constantly, and the result can sometimes be a rubberneck's delight.
