Last week Boston Ballet announced two well-deserved mid-season promotions: Lauren Herfindahl and Addie Tapp have been promoted to second soloists with the company.
In the official press release announcing the promotions, Artistic Director Mikko Nissinen said, "One of the best parts of being an artistic director is to reward talent. I am very proud of Lauren and Addie's progress."
A Groton-Dunstable Regional High School choir was going to perform during Easter Mass at St. Anthony's Basilica in Padua, Italy in April. One School Committee member complained, Americans United for the Separation of Church and State sent a letter, and the superintendent canceled the appearance.
