Ballet dancer Carlos Acosta is known for powerful leaps that make him seem to fly. Those leaps have earned him comparisons with Nureyev and Baryshnikov.

A 639-Year-Long Concert

John Cage's composition "ASLSP" is better known as "As Slow As Possible." A church in Germany is taking that literally: its specially built organ is playing the tune over 639 years. A new note was played a little over a week ago — the next chord change is set for November.
