Enigma Variations, Op. 36 - Sir Edward William Elgar

stablished in 1954 the Newport Jazz Festival at 60 celebrates both the great history of the Newport Jazz Festival® and its current role as one of the most active presenters of contemporary jazz artists in the world. This national touring program features jazz greats such saxophonist Anat Cohen, vocalist Karrin Allyson, trumpeter Randy Brecker, guitarist Mark Whitfield, pianist Peter Martin, drummer Clarence Penn, and bassist Larry Grenadier in an all-star night of jazz. The artists selected for the tour represent the rich heritage of the legendary Newport Jazz Festival. Collectively, these musicians have recorded hundreds of albums featuring vast styles of music and will bring an incredible wealth of experience to the stage for the first time. The concert repertoire will span the ages, from Louis, Duke and Miles to Latin, Brazilian, New Orleans, and gypsy music.

The Sheldon Arts Foundation is committed to the preservation and operation of the historic Sheldon Concert Hall and is dedicated to enriching the greater St. Louis region and beyond with a wide range of music, visual arts and educational programs of the highest quality, diversity and educational impact.

The Sheldon was designed by noted St. Louis World’s Fair architect Louis Spiering and opened its doors in 1912 as the Ethical Society of St. Louis. Famous speakers such as Thurgood Marshall and Margaret Mead have spoken from its stage and the world’s greatest musicians, including Jose Carreras, Wynton Marsalis, Willie Nelson, k.d. lang, Renee Fleming, Tony Bennett, Joan Baez and Diana Krall, have performed in the intimate 712-seat hall.

The Sheldon Concert Hall is known around the world for its perfect acoustics and was voted one of the top ten concert halls in the country by touring musicians. Musicians often rank The Sheldon as their favorite concert hall.

4 Foods That Aren’t As Healthy As You Think They Are 1) Non-fat ice cream: When dairy products zap out the fat, they often add in sugar and the calorie count can still stay high (one cup of fat-free vanilla ice cream can be as much as 340 calories and 42g of sugar). Plus, a little fat isn't a bad thing--it actually helps your belly feel full. Without that fat, it's easier to keep eating and eating.

To make it healthier: Stick to brands with real ingredients, like milk, sugar, and cream, but limit yourself to half a cup (about the size of half a tennis ball), and top it with berries and in-season fruits.

obviously!): have just a few tablespoons as a snack, or 1/4 cup if you're making it a meal.

3) Dried fruit: It's fruit, just dried out...should totally be healthy! But it's not always. Some brands add sugar and syrups during the drying process to up the sweet factor, especially to things such as cranberries, which can be super-tart.

To make it healthier: Buy brands that don't have added sugar or high fructose corn syrup listed in the labels--or just cut up fresh fruit and DIY!

2) Granola: You're smart, and probably already know that granola (and granola bars) can be super-crazy loaded with sugar (24.5g) and fat (30g)--one cup can have up to 600 calories! It can be easy to forget, since you so often see it on health-food shelves and, yes, in bulk bins.

4) Microwave popcorn: Popcorn is an excellent snack--filling, tasty, contains a good amount of fiber. But the bags you nuke in the microwave can be salt bombs, which also have lots of stuff like artificial butter and coloring.

To make it healthier: Find a variety that doesn't have sugar in the top three ingredients listed--or make your own, so you can control how much sugar goes in. And pay attention to portion sizes (I need this reminder,

To make it healthier: Pop your own on the stovetop, old-fashioned style.

It's easy, you can control the amount of oil and salt, and it can save you money. Win, win...win!

FAMOUS FAILURES! Colonel Sanders : The founder of KFC. He started his dream at 65 years old! He got a social security check for only $105 and was mad. Instead of complaining he did something about it.

He thought restaurant owners would love his fried chicken recipe, use it, sales would increase, and he’d get a percentage of it. He drove around the country knocking on doors, sleeping in his car, wearing his white suit.

Do you know how many times people said no till he got one yes? 1009 times!

Walt Disney: The man who gave us Disney World and Mickey Mouse. His first animation company went banktrupt. He was fired by a news editor cause he lacked imagination. Legend has it he was turned down 302 times before he got financing for creating Disney World.

Albert Eistein: He didn’t speak till he was four and didn’t read till seven. His parents and teachers thought he was mentally handicapped. He only turned out to win a Nobel prize and be the face of modern physics.

Richard Branson: He’s a billionaire mogul of Virgin but has had his share of failures. Remember Virgin Cola or Virgin credit cards? Probably not. He’s lost hundreds of millions of dollars but has not let failure stop him. When you’re rich like him you can rent his private island for $53,000 a night.

Mark Cuban: The billionaire owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks got rich when he sold his company to Yahoo for $5.9 billion in stock. He admitted he was terrible at his early jobs. His parents wanted him to have a normal job. So he tried carpentry but hated it. He was a short order cook but a terrible one. He waited tables but couldn’t open a bottle of wine. He says of his failures,

“I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter how many times you failed,” Cuban says. “You only have to be right once. I tried to sell powdered milk. I was an idiot lots of times, and I learned from them all.”

Vincent Van Gogh: He only sold one painting in his lifetime!

Just one to a friend. Despite that he kept painting and finished over 800 pieces. Now everyone wants to buy them and his most expensive painting is valued at $142.7 million.

10 GREAT TIPS FOR GRILLING! Grilling can be a bit overwhelming, especially when you're cooking for a crowd. But with these tips and a little practice, you'll be king or queen of the grill in no time.

1. Control the Heat: Large items like chicken quarters and ribs aren't meant to cook over high heat. Manage heat on a gas grill by turning off the center burners and placing food on the middle of the grill. Adjust burners on the left and right sides to change the temperature. On charcoal, adjusting dampers to restrict airflow will lower the cooking temperature.

2. Stack your Coals: Instead of spreading a thin layer of charcoal across the bottom of your grill, stack lit coals on one side. Place foods that need a quick sear (like thin veggies or steaks) on the coal side. Foods that need longer to cook can be placed on the opposite end with the lid on to contain the heat.

3. Sear at 10 and 2: Pretend your grilling surface is a clock. Point the tips of items like steaks or pork chops at 10 o'clock for a few minutes, followed by 2 o'clock for the same time. Repeat this on the second side and you'll get perfect, diamond shaped grill marks every time. Remember to only flip most foods once, about half way through cooking.

4. Add some Smoke: Wood chips or chunks are a great way to add smoky flavor without smoking foods for hours on end. Soak wood chips for about 30 minutes and place them inside a metal smoker box (or wrap them in a piece of aluminum foil) on a gas grill. If you're cooking with charcoal, scatter the chips across the lit coals.

5. Hit the Perfect Temperature: A thermometer is your best friend at the grill. Not only will you avoid under-cooking foods, you'll make sure you don't overcook. A digital leave-in thermometer is perfect as it lets you check the temperature without lifting the grill lid.

6. Keep Coals Burning: Coals are ready for cooking when they're fully lit and have a thin layer of white ash formed. Expect standard coals to burn 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the weather and the number you use. Keep your fire going by continuously adding new coals before the previous ones go out.

7. Keep Foods Separated: Backyard grilling can be a food safety minefield. Use separate platters, tools, and utensils for raw and cooked foods and never let them mingle.

8. Use the Right Tools for the Job: Life is always easier with the right tools.

Oversized grill tools from Cuisinart are a great choice for cooking, and VIP-Award winning Firewire grilling skewers let you sear kebabs anywhere you have the space. When you're all done and ready to clean, the Brushhawg Grill Brush from Char-Broil makes short work of grilled on food.

9. Wait to Baste: Basting with sauce adds tremendous flavor, but barbecue sauces burn easily. Try basting in the last few minutes and once foods have been removed from the grill.

10. Practice Ambitious Dishes before Cooking for a Crowd: Desperate to slow-grill a lamb quarter or smoke a pork shoulder for the first time? Try out your techniques before you prepare tough dishes for a crowd.
