Wigmore Hall Live today relaunches as a digital-only platform in partnership with Apple Music Classical, with all recording royalties passed directly to artists, Gramophone reports. Wigmore Hall is a prestigious 550-seat concert hall on Wigmore Street in London’s Marylebone, widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost venues for chamber music, early music, and vocal recitals.

NTU student who tried to film women in hall toilet to be assessed for mandatory treatment order

Published by Sam Flores

SINGAPORE: A Nanyang Technological University (NTU) student struggling to pay for his accommodation decided to obtain voyeuristic recordings for money after coming across an online advertisement offering payment for such material. How Zhong Ting, 25, who was a third-year undergraduate at the time, then entered the female-only sections of a residential hall in an attempt to film such recordings. He did not succeed in capturing any videos and was eventually caught after complaints were lodged against him. How pleaded guilty to one count each of criminal trespass and attempted voyeurism on Friday (May 29), with another count of criminal trespass to be taken into consideration when he is sentenced. At the close of the hearing, District Judge Terence Tay ordered that How be assessed for a mandatory treatment order (MTO), which directs offenders suffering from certain treatable psychiatric conditions to undergo treatment in place of other forms of punishment. The court heard that How was a third-year aerospace engineering undergraduate at NTU and was staying at its Hall of Residence 14 at the time of …

Amid protests at Delaney Hall, a Catholic nun has been offering ‘radical hospitality’

Published by Sam Flores

NEWARK, N.J. (RNS) — For five days, Delaney Hall, an immigrant detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, has been in the news for large and loud protests over conditions inside the facility. After some 300 detainees began a hunger and labor strike over what they said were inhumane conditions, the protests have grown to include members of Congress, such as Sen. Andy Kim and Rep. Robert Menendez, both Democrats from New Jersey.  But for the last year, one woman, Sister Susan Francois, has overseen a “Radical Hospitality” tent outside Delaney Hall, bearing witness and ministering to families and friends visiting detainees. She started coming in May 2025, when there was a major protest over conditions in front of Delaney Hall, and a New Jersey gubernatorial candidate and a member of Congress were arrested. Soon after, Francois started visiting about twice a week and documenting her work on TikTok, hoping to inspire other people to take action and spread hope. Watch a day in her life and the first episode of  “Faith on the Immigration Frontline,” …

Rebecca Hall in Quirky Sci-Fi Dramedy

Rebecca Hall in Quirky Sci-Fi Dramedy

Published by Daniella Wilson

The always eminently watchable Rebecca Hall (The Man I Love, TV’s The Beauty) both anchors and buoys the tonally irregular but consistently thoughtful and compelling sci-fi comedy-drama The End of It, a feature debut for Catalan writer-director Maria Martinez Bayona. Offering a near future that’s creepily plausible, resonant with recent headlines and nicely underplayed in terms of design, this posits Hall as Claire, a 250-year-old artist who’s kept looking like an elegant 30something thanks to sophisticated blood dialysis techniques and other kinds of high-tech, vaguely defined wizardry, available to a very select few. The End of It The Bottom Line Augurs a potentially interesting career. Venue: Cannes Film Festival (Cannes Premiere)Cast: Rebecca Hall, Gael Garcia Bernal, Noomi Rapace, Beanie FeldsteinDirector/screenwriter: Maria Martinez Bayona 2 hours 22 minutes However, when Claire grows bored with an effectively immortal life and chooses to die, her husband Diego (Gael García Bernal), 180-year-old daughter Martha (Noomi Rapace), and android personal assistant Sarah (Beanie Feldstein) react in various ways, ranging from supportive to angry. Running an attenuated 142-minutes, this feels slightly …

A Replica of a 4500-Year-Old Community Hall to Open at Stonehenge

A Replica of a 4500-Year-Old Community Hall to Open at Stonehenge

Published by Jenni Sidey

English Heritage, a charity that manages over 400 historic sites across England, unveiled their reconstruction of a 4,500-year-old building at Stonehenge on Friday. The $1.34 million, 23-foot-high Kusuma Neolithic Hall, which will open this summer, will help visitors imagine the lives of Stonehenge’s prehistoric builders. The structure is based on the footprint of a long-vanished building at the nearby Neolithic archaeological site Durrington Walls and was built over nine months by more than 100 volunteers. Under the guidance of award-winning experimental archaeologist Luke Winter, the volunteers used only historically accurate methods, including stone axes, and locally sourced materials such as reed thatch, pine timbers, and chalk daub to raise the structure. Related Articles While the purpose of the original structure is uncertain, animal bones and pottery excavated at the Durrington Walls suggest it was used for large celebrations or feasts. And whether or not there may have ever been a hall of this sort at Stonehenge itself, the project offers insight into Neolithic culture in the wider area. “Seeing the structure take shape – from …

Eternal Flame, Burning for 1,200 Years, Rescued from Blaze at Buddhist Hall in Japan

Published by José Betancourt

A sacred Buddhist hall on the top of Mount Misen in Japan was destroyed by fire—but an “eternal flame” said to have been burning for more than a millennium was rescued and moved to another site, where it continues to glow. As reported in the New York Times, Reikado Hall, in the south of Japan, “was reduced to a charred skeleton after a fire tore through the building, engulfing its wooden prayer rooms.” No one was injured, fortunately, and the flame that had been burning for some 1,200 years was salvaged and transferred to a less traumatized location. Related Articles In a statement, the Daisho-in temple, which oversaw the damaged hall, said, “We have received many messages of sympathy. Thank you for your concern.” Reikado Hall had been rebuilt after a previous fire in 2005, after an accident following cleanup from a typhoon. The cause of the latest fire in under investigation. The Times noted that Japanese temples and shrines, often constructed with materials like wood, thatch, and bark, are particularly vulnerable to combustion. “There …
