Campamentos para Bandas de Rock

By Staff, Corcoran News

La mayoría de ustedes saben que estoy enseñando música al Parque Corcoran hace unos años con un modelo escuela de rock. Nuevos niños y jóvenes están siempre bienvenidos. En la actualidad, necesitamos mucho a un bajista o dos. En cualquier caso, después de alcanzar niveles intermedios y unos años de experiencia tocando, la siguiente fase es Corcoran Park Rock Band (CPRB) donde trabajamos como un conjunto y los estudiantes eligen y tocan sus canciones.

The Guthrie Theater at 50: A legacy of artistic excellence, if not always diversity

By Sheila Regan, Behind the Story

Photos, top to bottom: Nancy Wickwire and Robert Jackson in the Guthrie's 1966 production of The Dance of Death; the Guthrie's original building as photographed that same year; the Guthrie's opening night audience in 1963 (all from the collection of the Minnesota Historical Society); the Guthrie today (photo by Mark Vancleave, courtesy Guthrie Theater).

This week marked the 50th anniversary of the first play staged at the Guthrie Theater. On May 7, 1963, Sir Tyrone Guthrie’s bold new experiment opened its production of Hamlet, directed by the Guthrie at their brand new theater adjacent to the Walker Art Center.
