SAN ANTONIO
Singers hope to revitalize Tejano music
San Antonio Express News (08/12/08)
Jeanne Jakle
"It's a question that's often asked. What is the future of Tejano music? A clue can be found on the cell phone greeting of one of the genre's younger up-and-coming performers. It's not so much that Coldplay is on Megan Leyva's phone, but what it represents: new blood, fresh ideas and a hip mind-set.

$12 million donation to the U. will boost art opportunities for children
Salt Lake Tribune (08/11/08)
Brian Maffly
"Thanks to former school teacher and arts philanthropist Beverly Sorenson and her family, a "new ground-breaking interdisciplinary arts program" at the University of Utah will provide school kids "more access to music, dance and visual arts than they've had in recent years." The program "is being hailed as a 'one-of-a-kind' effort to train teachers across academic and artistic disciplines to instruct kids how to draw, sing, dance, act and sculpt."
INTERNATIONAL
History repeats in age-old language
The Australian (08/07/08)
David Robertson
"ALL people are sensitive to music: it's one of the better things that unites humans across the globe. We sometimes call it a universal language because it's easier for us to begin to hear meaning in musical sounds than it is to hear meaning in languages we don't speak."
