Classically accessible
Is classical music accessible? Historically speaking, no. The genre has an exclusive reputation, likely due to high ticket prices for operas and other concerts. Until the construction of buildings that are barrier-free, access to these venues is limited. Some people may also find classical music out of date and, quite frankly, not relevant to most modern audiences.

Under the light of the Golden Boy’s behind
“We sleep in the light of the Golden Boy’s ass,” the upcoming film Purple City states.
From dropping acid and gay hustling under yellow lights, to the mythological world of Greco-Roman lore, this new short film explores the hidden stories of the Golden Boy from the viewpoint of the filmmakers’ very own apartment across the street – where every night, they sleep in the golden glory of the statue’s illumination.

Riffs across the decades
Metal is a genre that often indulges in excess, adopting a “bigger is better” approach to songwriting, instrumentation, number of musicians and technical showmanship. But Calgary sludge duo Mares of Thrace, who will play the Park Theatre on June 11, manage to do more with what might, on the surface, look like less. The intricate drumming of Casey Rogers pulse in tandem to the punishing guitar riffs and caustic vocals of Trez Lanz to create a sound that is distinctive and heavy as hell.
