If you thought classical music only belonged in hotel lobbies and symphony halls, hold on—you’re in for a shock. The Art of Giving Back, led by award-winning artist Nicholas King, brings a classical concert unlike any you’ve ever seen. ”Bad Boys of Classical Music” is an interactive, multimedia mixture of music, storytelling, and drama that will delight the music lover and the gossip fiend in all of us.

Occupying your city’s most unlikely venues–bookstores, dance clubs, and coffeehouses—Nicholas King presents three of classical music’s most notorious figures—Beethoven, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff—as they were known to their contemporary culture:

High rollers. Tempestuous lovers. Unpredictable public figures. Bad to the bone.

Scandalous stories of these composers’ personal lives are framed by impeccable performances by an world renowned pianist, and punctuated with audience participation, multimedia elements, and plenty of surprises that you’ll just have to be there to see. “Bad Boys of Classical Music” is a show guaranteed to shatter all your assumptions that classical music is a thing of the past. It proves that don’t have to play an electric guitar or wear sunglasses constantly to be a rock star. All you have to do is write music that changes the world…and a little attitude never hurts, either.

The Commander-in-Chief recommended cocked hats. This always means, hats cocked on three sides. I was assured that cocked hats were provided. I repeated the assurance to the officers. But the hats received are only capable of being cocked on one side, and the brim is otherwise so narrow, as to consult neither good appearance nor utility. They are also without cockades and loops.

Nothing is more necessary than to stimulate the vanity of soldiers. To this end, a smart dress is essential. When not at tended to, the soldier is exposed to ridicule and humiliation. If the articles promised to him are defective in quality or appearance, he becomes dissatisfied, and the necessity of excusing the public delinquency towards him, is a serious bar to the enforcement of discipline.

Alexander Hamilton to James McHenry, May 18, 1799

Hamilton spent an embarrassing amount of time obsessing over the fashion of the army.

McHenry! You fucked up the hats! That is the worst thing you could have done! And it was totally your fault and not the milliner who filled the order’s fault!

OMG

This…

I just…

On May 1st, Cam was skipping school and messing around online. He posted some lyrics that included a vague reference to the Boston Marathon Bombing and called the Whitehouse a “federal house of horror.” Shortly after that he was arrested and charged with Communicating a Terrorist Threat, a felony that carries 20 years in prison.

The post contained no specific threat of violence against any person or group of people, and in the context of the rest of the lyrics and Cams’ rap persona, it was clearly nothing more than a metaphor. A search of Cam’s house found NO evidence that he was planning any violence, but a judge still ordered him held without bail for the next 3 months, pending trial.

Every single thing this kid did, while certainly rude and foolish, was clearly protected by the First Amendment. However, he remains in jail and has been smeared by local media, making a fair trail an ever more elusive hope.

As the petition’s headline comments, “After you read this kid’s story, you’ll think twice about what you post on Facebook. (And that’s the problem.)”

In his gigantic body of work, Arno Rafael Minkkinen uses the human body in a truly ingenious way. Instead of the person being the center of focus, Arno cleverly aligns parts of the human body seamlessly with the rest of the picture.

Ernest Becker points to the undeniable relationship between madness and wildly creative thinking. 

“The road to creativity passes so close to the madhouse and often detours or ends there.”

If in doubt, always head for left field
