LateRooms.com - Dusseldorf to Welcome Violin Star David Garrett

David Garrett is set to give a demonstration of his virtuoso violin ability at Dusseldorf's ISS Dome.

2010-09-21

DUSSELDORF, GERMANY, September 21, 2010 (Press-News.org) Classical music fans with Dusseldorf hotel reservations have an opportunity to see David Garrett perform in the city later this year.

The virtuoso violinist is due to play at the ISS Dome on Saturday November 6th as part of his autumn tour through Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Entitled Rock Symphonies after his latest album, the European jaunt looks set to confirm Garrett's status as one of the foremost classical crossover artists in the world.

Born in Aachen to an American father and German mother, he picked up his first violin at the age of four and was soon recognised as an exciting prodigy on the instrument.

Garrett had appeared on stage with the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra by the time he was ten years old and signed a lucrative recording contract three years later.

As a young man, he continued to develop his musicianship by studying at the prestigious Juilliard School in New York, where he was mentored by the legendary Israeli violinist Itzhak Perlman.

In 2007, Garrett released the album Virtuoso, which saw him reach a wide audience with its versions of Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, Pachelbel's Canon and Somewhere from West Side Story.

The performer has said he hopes his work will introduce more young people to the joys of classical music, by combining it with elements of pop and rock.

"In my eye, the Paganinis, Liszts and Chopins of the 19th century were the world's first rock stars," Garrett explains on his website.

"Great composers have always incorporated elements which were popular in their day."

Garrett's violin technique was described by his American composition teacher Eric Ewazen as "spectacular, heartfelt and expressive".

Tickets for his performance in Dusseldorf, which will begin at 20:00 local time, are priced between EUR54 and EUR77 (GBP45.10 and GBP64.30).

Huntsville, Alabama: The Best Sleep Apnea Treatment: CPAP vs. Oral Appliances. A Question of Compliance and Effectiveness. Oral Appliances Win the Compliance Award. Snoring Can Be Cured!

2010-09-21

What is the best sleep apnea treatment? It is not CPAP, according to a recent study that showed 60% of patients abandon CPAP use. At least it is not the best treatment for the 60% of patients who abandoned it. This does not mean CPAP is not the most effective treatment, what it means is no matter how effective a treatment may be, it is a poor treatment if it is not used. Oral appliances are an extremely effective treatment for mild to moderate sleep apnea but less effective for morbidly obese patients and those with severe sleep apnea. Oral appliances are the "Best ...

The End of an Era: Incandescent Light Bulb Factories Closing

2010-09-21

The 2007 energy conservation measure passed by Congress set standards to essentially ban incandescent lights by 2013, requiring households to make the switch to more energy efficient lights. According to recent news, the last major General Electric factory in the United States is closing this month, marking an end to a fixture that has been lighting homes since the 1870s. With incandescents out, fluorescent lamps and CFLs continue to grow in popularity, providing energy and greenhouse gas emission savings.

Incandescent Lights Result in More Mercury Pollution Than Fluorescents

2010-09-21

In addition to carefully recycling products that contain mercury, we can reduce mercury pollution by reducing our energy consumption. Because mercury is a byproduct of burning coal, coal-fired power plants are one of the largest sources of mercury pollution. Because incandescent bulbs use several times more electricity over their lifetimes, they require far more power generation and, ultimately, result in more mercury emission than fluorescents. With the coming "maximal achievable technology" clean air standards, it is fully expected that mercury emissions will have to ...
