Classical music and dance
Classical Beat | A Baroque duet of dance and music
May 24, 11:31 AM
Dance is at the heart of Baroque music. It’s the galliards, minuets and gigues that give energy, joy and bounce to Baroque. The Bach Aria Soloists will demonstrate as much when the group joins the Wylliams/Henry Contemporary Dance Company for a Baroque-flavored “Dance Extravaganza” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Spencer Theatre, 4949 Cherry St.

Book review | ‘The Last Hundred Days’ tells a compelling story
May 24, 1:11 PM
Toward the end of his very good new novel about the 1989 revolution that toppled Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu’s vicious, paranoid regime, Patrick McGuinness’ central character relates a joke he heard from an acerbic friend. Venereal disease, according to this mordant wisecracker, “brought out the good communist in everyone: it was the only thing that really got shared around.”
