Planet Hugill: Finals of the Wigmore Hall String Quartet Competition

Four quartets (two American, one French and one British) for the final of the 2015 Wigmore Hall String Quartet Competition at the Wigmore Hall on Sunday 29 March 2015.

All this week quartets have been competing, alongside masterclasses and concerts by former participants.

The quartets had already played quartets by Haydn, Beethoven, and a new work by Mark-Anthony Turnage, alongside other repertoire, and for this round the work was a romantic one.

With Move Across London, U.S. Embassy Can't Please Everyone ...

“It seems sad that the U.S. Embassy is relocating from a beautiful historic square in Mayfair to a fortified bunker in former railyards on the far side of the river,” Peter Rees, the City of London’s former head of planning, wrote in an email.

State Department officials say the new embassy will be safer, big enough to accommodate the 1,000 employees now crammed into a building meant for 800, and equipped with all the modern communications and environmental features.

The new embassy is expected to cost about $1 billion, financed entirely by the sales of the existing embassy to Qatar’s Sovereign Wealth Fund and a nearby former Navy building to other property developers, Ms. Muniz said in an interview.

One of them, Jane Loeffler, a historian and author of “The Architecture of Diplomacy: Building America’s Embassies,” said the new project was a refreshing break from previous embassy designs.

The change reflects a push by the Obama administration to make embassy design part of America’s soft power, she said, even if some critics at home say embassies should follow a “standard embassy design” put in effect after the 1998 bombings in East Africa and reinforced after Sept. 11, 2001.

Police Question 2 Men After Oxford Circus Station Is Evacuated ...

LONDON — A report of gunfire led to the panicked evacuation of one of London’s most crowded subway stations late Friday afternoon, but the scare proved to be short-lived, a testament perhaps to nerves frayed by a year in which London has been targeted by several terrorist attacks.

The station was reopened within 90 minutes, as the police reported that they had not found any “evidence of shots fired or casualties.”

Later on Friday, however, the British Transport Police said they believed that “an altercation” had erupted between two men on the subway platform.

The episode spurred a stampede and panic, leading to a flood of unconfirmed reports on social media.

The police then said on Saturday that two men, age 21 and 40, “attended a police station voluntarily and were interviewed.”
