April 28[edit]

Miss Panama 2007?[edit]

A few mpnths ago around Feburary 2007 it was mentioned that Miss Panama 2007 was Diana Bracho in Wikipedia and in the Miss Panama beauty pageant website ran her likeness. What happened that Sorangel Matos is now the Miss Panama representative in Miss Universe? Was it a beauty pageant scandal involving Diana? Or did Diana resign the title? Please help.

The only Diana Bracho Google brings up was born in Mexico. Also, the history of the Miss Universe 2007 article only shows Sorangel Matos being added to the list on April 16. There was no listing for Panama before that. Clarityfiend 00:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Classical music concert calendar[edit]

I'm imagining a website where you can select a classical muisc composer and see a list of upcoming performances (in all major cities) of that comoser's work. Even if you couldn't select a composer, a concert calendar where you could easily browse through performances of more than one well known symphony group (or concert hall) in more than one city, that would be cool.

I'm not looking for Ticketmaster or a similar ticket-selling website--I'm thinking more of an informative website for classical music fans. Maybe such a thing does not exist, but if it does I'd like to know about it.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 14:39, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You might try http://www.classical.net/. Corvus cornix 00:11, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boosey & Hawkes maintains a service like this on their website for all the composers that they publish (quite a large number.) Just click on “composers and repertoire” in the first menu, then find the “composers” tab in the upper left corner of the screen, scrolled down to and click on the composer you want to look up, and, when their page comes up, click on the “performances” button at the top of the screen. You should see a list of all major planed future performances of that composer’s music anywhere in the world. For instance here’s the list of future performances of music by John Adams.— S.dedalus 20:28, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is great stuff. Thanks! Not as broad as what I envisioned, but does it include several of my favorite composers and is therefore very useful. I'll actually be attending an Adams concert in the near future.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 01:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
