Notes on the Arts

gracie.jpgThe Keystone State Boychoir, making its first European tour, leaves town June 19 and stops in Monaco, where it is hosted by Prince Albert II as the guest choir of the annual Fête de la Musique. The boys will also perform with Les Petits Chanteurs de Monaco (the Little Singers of Monaco) and will sing a Mass in memory of Prince Rainier and Princess Grace (pictured here, as if you didn't know). Among the choirboys is Nick Kelly, 15, whose father is John B. Kelly 3d, which means he refers to the Princess as Aunt Grace...Edna Landau, founder and former managing director of IMG Artists, as well as Lang Lang's former agent, has joined the Colburn School - the so-called "Curtis of the West" - as director of career development, a job designed to help prepare music students for the real world...The Inquirer will have more on Anne d'Harnoncourt, the Philadelphia Museum of Art director who died Sunday, this weekend, but here, just in case you missed it, is the New York Times' appreciation...The Betsy Ross House will host an expanded, week-long celebration of Flag Day starting June 8 featuring a collection of rare flags, a street fair, a giant flag composed of Post-It notes, performances, rock and pop bands, and even the traditional June 14 Flag Day ceremony.
