A massive drone art show is taking to the Boston skies tonight
The DroneArt Show is a candlelit open-air concert featuring a live string quartet—think well-known masterpieces like Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons' and Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake'—accompanied by dazzling displays of synchronized drone displays. Outfitted with programmable LED lights, these bits of flying tech will arrange themselves into figures like lotus blossoms, swans and ballerinas, giving your grandparents' fireworks a run for their money.
To the lush sounds of Debussy's 'The Snow Is Dancing,' the drone fleet will assemble and dissemble into dozens of new formations, reflecting the thrilling movements of the timeless music. Their vivid designs are tightly choreographed to complement the spirit of the live concert, evoking a breathtaking emotional response.
The first act of the program will reflect the four seasons, with the second presenting a sky-bound homage to birds: from chicks and cuckoos to swans.
This blend of classical music and state-of-the-art technology has sold out engagements across the U.S., Australia and Spain, and will continue working its magic in cities worldwide given its popularity. Next up: Chicago, Seattle and San Francisco in August.
Tickets range from $39 to $53 and include seats. Looking for an upgrade? The VIP Picnic Experience ($105) seats you in the best viewing area and includes a personal picnic blanket, candle and special snack, along with fast-track entry.
Doors to this all-ages event will open 90 minutes before its scheduled 8:45 pm start time. Food and beverage will be available for purchase at the event, though without gluten-free or vegan options. Rest easy, though, as outside nourishment is permitted (though not alcoholic drinks).

Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97
Tom Lehrer, the acclaimed humorist and pianist whose satirical songs made him one of America's favorite prophets of doom before he retreated to academia, has died, US media reported on Sunday. He was 97. The singer-songwriter died on Saturday at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, his friend David Herder said, according to the New York Times. Lehrer's sardonic numbers, backed up by a dazzling prowess at the piano that reflected his love for up-tempo Broadway show tunes, enchanted audiences in the 1950s and 60s. But Lehrer was always much more than the sum of his parts. A child prodigy, he graduated from Harvard at 19 and later taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Well ahead of his time on issues including pollution and nuclear proliferation, Lehrer made his mark with biting humor and zany rhymes. He was also wickedly funny on random subjects including murder, conjugal discord, chemistry and his distaste for pigeons. Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, one of his signature tunes, conjures up a couple enjoying a spring pastime of slaughtering pigeons with strychnine – 'It just takes a smidgen!' Another song, Folksong Army, mocked 1960s protesters. But his activism was persistent, with songs including Who's Next about nuclear weapons, and Pollution warning that: 'You can use the latest toothpaste, then rinse your mouth with industrial waste.' The seemingly bottomless well of sly, even cynical creativity captured audiences from 1953 until it appeared to go dry in 1965, although Lehrer briefly returned to performing in 1972 for a children's public television show, The Electric Company. Rumor had it that Lehrer stopped composing when his prophecies began coming true, or that he quit in protest over Henry Kissinger being awarded the Nobel peace prize in 1973. But Lehrer, in an interview with the satirical news website the Onion in 2000, dispensed with the second rumor, saying he had 'quit long before that happened'. There was nothing abrupt about it, he said. 'I figure I wrote 37 songs in 20 years, and that's not exactly a full-time job. Every now and then I wrote something, and every now and then I didn't. The second just outnumbered the first.' He claimed to have gone 'from adolescence to senility, trying to bypass maturity'. While most of Lehrer's compositions were original, one adaptation stood out for its genius: his dizzying recitation of all 118 chemical elements to the tune of A Modern Major General from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta The Pirates of Penzance. The piece earned adoration from none other than the Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe. 'Tom Lehrer in my opinion is the cleverest and funniest man of the 20th century, and he's kind of my hero,' Radcliffe said, before singing a rendition of The Elements on a British comedy show in 2010. That performance was partly responsible for the music comedian Weird Al Yankovic awarding Radcliffe the role of Weird Al in Yankovic's satirical biopic. 'Singing that song is an extremely nerdy thing to do,' Yankovic said of Radcliffe's rendition. 'It's off-the-charts nerdy. And I thought, 'OK, this guy gets it. This guy's a kindred spirit. He can embody me onscreen.'' Posting to Instagram on Sunday, Yankovic wrote: 'My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.' Born on 9 April 1928 to a secular Jewish family, Lehrer grew up in Manhattan's Upper East Side. He attended the prestigious Horace Mann and Loomis Chaffee preparatory schools before entering Harvard at 15, graduating magna cum laude with a degree in mathematics three years later. He went on to teach mathematics at MIT as well as Harvard, Wellesley College and the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Song satirist Tom Lehrer dies aged 97
Tom Lehrer, the popular and erudite US song satirist who lampooned marriage, politics, racism and the Cold War, then largely abandoned his music career to return to teaching maths at Harvard and other universities, has died aged 97. Friend David Herder said Lehrer died on Saturday at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. No cause of death was revealed. Lehrer had remained on the maths faculty of the University of California at Santa Cruz well into his late 70s. In 2020, he even turned away from his own copyright, granting the public permission to use his lyrics in any format without any fee in return. A Harvard prodigy, having earned a maths degree from the institution at the age of 18, Lehrer soon turned his very sharp mind to old traditions and current events. His songs included Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, The Old Dope Peddler (set to a tune reminiscent of The Old Lamplighter), Be Prepared (in which he mocked the Boy Scouts) and The Vatican Rag, in which Lehrer, an atheist, poked at the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church. Accompanying himself on piano, he performed the songs in a colourful style reminiscent of such musical heroes as Gilbert and Sullivan and Stephen Sondheim, the latter a lifelong friend. Lehrer was often likened to such contemporaries as Allen Sherman and Stan Freberg for his comic riffs on culture and politics and he was cited by Randy Newman and 'Weird Al' Jankovic among others as an influence. He mocked the forms of music he did not like (modern folk songs, rock 'n' roll and modern jazz), laughed at the threat of nuclear annihilation and denounced discrimination. But he attacked in such an erudite, even polite, manner that almost no-one objected. Lehrer produced a political satire song each week for the 1964 television show That Was The Week That Was, the US version of the ground-breaking topical comedy show that anticipated Saturday Night Live a decade later. He released the songs the following year in an album titled That Was The Year That Was. The material included Who's Next?, an examination of which government will be the next to get the nuclear bomb … perhaps Alabama? (Lehrer did not need to tell his listeners that it was a bastion of segregation at the time.) Pollution takes a look at the then-new concept that perhaps rivers and lakes should be cleaned up. His songs were revived in the 1980 musical revue Tomfoolery, and he made a rare public appearance in London in 1998 at a celebration honouring that musical's producer, Cameron Mackintosh.

American musician and satirist Tom Lehrer dies aged 97
Tom Lehrer, best known for his satirical songs in the 1950s and 60s, has died at the age of 97. The singer died on Saturday at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as confirmed by his friend, David Herder to The New York Times. The singer was a popular satirist in his early career and the inspiration behind other satirists, including Weird Al Yankovic. Lehrer was a Harvard-trained mathematician and had teaching posts at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of California. He had success in the music industry but spent much of his life pursuing a life in academia, never quitting his original role as a mathematician and just taking sabbaticals when needed. In 1960, he stopped performing, before returning in 1965, and then leaving the industry for good in 1967. In 2000, he spoke to the New York Times about his enduring success: 'When I made that first record, it was just to sell around Harvard. 'It never dawned on me that all these years later, well, I wrote 'Fight Fiercely, Harvard' in 1945 and the band plays it at half-times now, 55 years later.' He added that despite his success, he was never interested in fame. 'I don't feel the need for anonymous affection,' he said. 'If they buy my records, I love that. But I don't think I need people in the dark applauding. It's nice to be reassured once in a while, but a real performer has to do it over and over again. I can't understand the Yul Brynner phenomenon, 'The King and I' night after night.' 'I'm not interested in promoting myself, or revealing to total strangers anything about me. That's not my job. More Trending 'I read some of these things with people who will tell you all about their abortions, and their affairs and their divorces and their nervous breakdowns and their parents, and why are they doing that? And I'm sure if you asked them how much money they made last year, they'd tell you it's none of your business.' The singer was best known for his songs The Masochism Tango, Send the Marines, and The Hunting Song. In Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, he detailed the birds' appetite for 'peanuts coated with cyanide' and in I Hold Your Hand in Mine, he sang about necrophilia, and in I Got It From Agnes, he spoke about catching a venereal disease. His tune, The Elements, was a list of the chemical elements set to the tune of I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General from The Pirates of Penzance and popularised in The Big Bang Theory.
