Hailing from half-way around the world, the sound of harmony will chime throughout Hill Auditorium tomorrow, when Ann Arbor is honored, with not only the presence, but also performance of the enchanting St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Russia's oldest symphony orchestra will be conducted by Yuri Temirkanov, starring violin soloist Gidon Kremer in an evening of Shostakovich, Liadov and Prokofiev.

The image of small town America is now a far cry from the picturesque fairy tale paintings of Norman Rockwell. Through many great films ranging from David Lynch's surreal opus "Blue Velvet" to the Coen's pasty white "Fargo" to the Billy Bob Thornton surprise "Slingblade," Hollywood continues to portray the dark seeds that grow beneath these towns of warm, homey quaintness, where there isn't much to do - well, except maybe kill people.

The Residential College theatre group RC Players will present several small productions in this weekend's "Evening of Scenes." Students act in and direct the four scenes. One of the pieces was written by a student.
The first "Evening of Scenes" took place at the beginning of the past school year, in part to show students that anyone could participate in RC Players. The group had been "in a rut," RC Players board secretary and director Sarah Smith said. The board wanted to see more people involved this year, so it continued the concept.
