See classical music concerts at Lincoln Center for only $5—here's how
Or rather, $5 is the minimum amount for the 'Choose-What-You-Pay' fee structure — perhaps a better name would be 'Choose-what-You-Pay-Within-These-Parameters'. The concerts comprise the Festival Orchestra of Lincoln Center series, part of Lincoln Center's Summer for the City. Highlighting musicians from across the world who routinely perform with Lincoln Center, you might better know the Festival Orchestra from its previous iteration as the Mostly Mozart Festival.
Among those scheduled to perform this year are Lincoln Center's Renée and Robert Belfer Music Director Jonathon Heyward (responsible for the series' programming) conducting Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, Karen Kamensek conducting Bizet's Symphony in C, Joana Carneiro conducting Ravel and Prokofiev, and Dame Jane Glover conducting Michael Abels's "More Seasons," Tchaikovsky, and Mozart. Even better, that low entrance fee also provides you access to the theaters in David Geffen Hall, where most of the concerts will be held. A concert and powerful AC for under $10? The movies could never in 2025.
Other works scheduled to be performed include Brahms' contemporary Emilie Mayer's Faust Overture, the New York premiere of Anna Clyne's Glasslands, and the popular Symphony of Choice. That's right: Using text-to-vote technology, audiences can choose the evening's selections from a list of the festival's upcoming performances for the opening night, simultaneously creating a democratic concert experience and previewing what the upcoming weeks hold in store for the orchestra. Heyward will also conduct that evening, which will be simulcast for free in the lobby of David Geffen Hall.
The fourth annual Summer for the City is already running. Among the other series are BAAND Together Dance Festival, Comedy Underground, Concerts at Damrosch Park, Run AMOC* Festival, and Silent Disco, featuring DJs Heather Flock and Laura Jeffers, DJ Mina, Daiel Costta, and DJ Mari Mac Dowell.

Travis Kelce skips Happy Gilmore 2 premiere as Adam Sandler sends him a message from New York
Travis Kelce was not at the 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiere on Monday night - though he earned massive praise from Adam Sandler nonetheless. The Chiefs star landed a role in the film as a hotel employee, with one scene giving him the chance to share the screen with Bad Bunny. And while Kelce skipped out on the premiere with Kansas City's training camp beginning on Tuesday, it's clear he made an impression on Sandler during the filming of the movie. 'They were both so confident and so funny. They're gonna go on and do whatever the hell they want,' Sandler told The Hollywood Reporter of Kelce and Bad Bunny. 'But I'd love to do something with them again, because I got very friendly with them, and I love them both.' Sandler also joked to Extra TV that he 'didn't want to bother' Kelce's pop star girlfriend, Taylor Swift about a potential role in the film. 'Just let Taylor entertain the world like she does... she's done a lot for our planet.' Bad Bunny, meanwhile, teased a 'honey scene' with Kelce, which he called 'crazy' in an interview with Extra. Aside from the Puerto Rican musician, there were plenty more big names in attendance at the Lincoln Center in New York. Jimmy Fallon, John Cena, Margaret Qualley and Bennie Safdie (the latter two have cameos in the film) were all in attendance, as was influencer Alix Earle. From the sports world, Kelce's fellow football player Derrick Henry was in attendance too, and Sandler could be heard telling the bruising running back that the pair were 'doing a movie together' on the red carpet. Former Steelers star Ryan Clark was in attendance as well. Of course, there were plenty of names from the golf world as well, including Scottie Scheffler - fresh off of his win at The Open - Colin Morikawa, Fred Couples, Tony Finau, Bryson DeChambeau and John Daly. All will have cameo films in the movie - which will mark a second appearance in the 'Happy Gilmore' franchise for Couples. Kid Cudi and Sandler embraced on the red carpet as they posed for a photo together Justin Thomas and Jack Nicklaus also reportedly have roles in the film, though they were not in attendance on Monday night. Golf influencer Paige Spiranac also scored a cameo in the film and graced the red carpet on Monday. And rapper Kid Cudi appears in the movie, too, and smiled for a picture with Sandler on Monday. The film is a sequel to Sandler's 1996 comedy classic which follows an ex-hockey player turned golfer with anger issues. Despite the many newcomers in the film, fans will be pleased to see Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald reprise the roles of Virginia Venit and Shooter McGavin respectively. The film will be released to Netflix on Friday.

Wynton Marsalis awarded doctorate at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
The internationally acclaimed trumpeter, composer, bandleader and educator is regarded as one of the most influential figures in jazz. His honorary degree comes for services to music and he credited Scotland as being a key part of his journey. Marsalis joined graduating students at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow and is the first jazz artist to perform and compose across the full jazz spectrum from its New Orleans roots to bebop to modern jazz. He is also the managing and artistic director of jazz at Lincoln Center and has been recognised with numerous honours, including the US National Medal of Arts, France's Chevalier of the Legion of Honour and Japan's Praemium Imperiale. Read More In his speech, he said: 'I have a deep love and appreciation for this country. From her, I have received some priceless gifts. My great mentor and long-term bandmate, baritone saxophonist Joe Temperley, was born in 1927 in Fife… He was a walking advertisement for Scotland.' The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland will also confer an honorary doctorate in production arts to Bunny Christie OBE later this afternoon. With two Tony Awards and four Olivier Awards under her belt, Christie made history as the first woman to win the Olivier Award for Best Design and was also the first woman to receive the Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Awards for Best Designer. Born and raised in St Andrews, she has a long relationship with the National Theatre, designing in all its theatre spaces and devising shows at the NT Studio. Her work at the NT covers production and costume design for many of the classics and new plays. An honorary doctorate in music was also bestowed on Lulu, who was unable to make it to the RCS.
