Let it be said: there have been so many stars to perform in the intimate Mohegan Sun Wolf Den that a representative "Hall of Fame" concert of those headliners could only take place … well, in the 10,000-seat Mohegan Sun Arena. Indeed, on... Who says classical dudes don't have any fun? The Brentano String Quartet, which performs Friday at Connecticut College, is riding high on the fresh vision of their latest project, "Fragments - Connecting Past and... A troupe member has described Blast! as a "marching band on steroids." The show's own PR dubs it "part Riverdance, part Stomp! and part homecoming parade." Whatever you want to call it, Blast! promises to be, well, a blast. The... New London - In a concert headlined "All in the Family," Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra conductor Toshiyuki Shimada teamed up Saturday with wife Eva Virsik in Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2, but the highlight of the evening at the...

There are not too many Major Rock People from Brewer, Maine, and not a lot named "Howard," either - although, in the context of the latter, you can't discount Howard "Things Can Only Get Better" Jones and Mayberry's Howard Sprague. Used to be, "field recordings" referred to scratchy reel-to-reel treasures: tapes of Mance Lipscomb wailing rural blues or Mississippi chain gangs singing work hollers, captured by folk archivists like John Lomax and revealing unknown... Changing focus: Mark Ballas is famous for his dancing, thanks to "Dancing with the Stars." When he comes to Mohegan Sun Friday, though, he'll be singing and playing guitar for an hour-long performance and then will do a... The NFL and a major television network are apologizing for another Super Bowl halftime show.
