On June 15, 2010, the Grammy Award–winning singer and songwriter Sarah McLachlan will release of Laws of Illusion. This is Sarah’s first studio album of new material in seven years, since the double–platinum Afterglow in 2003, and its twelve songs rank with the most compelling work ever cre¬ated by this gifted artist.
In the years between these two releases, Sarah has married, separated, and is raising two young daughters. These crucial life experiences have en¬riched her artistry and infused her new songs with the full range and complexity of adult emotions. In listening to Laws of Illusion, we can hear the strength of hard–earned independence; the trials of love won, lost, and found anew; and the infinite joys of living.

Giovanni Allevi Piano Solo Tour 2010, Shanghai Times Square, June 8th.
Wednesday, June 9th, 2010
Giovanni Allevi (born Ascoli Piceno, April 9, 1969) is an Italian pianist and composer.
He got a first-class diploma both in piano at the “F. Morlacchi”‘s conservatoire in Perugia and in composition at the “G. Verdi” academy of music in Milan. He got a degree cum laude in Philosophy with the thesis entitled “Il vuoto nella Fisica contemporanea” (The Void in Contemporary Physics) and he attended the Accademia Internazionale di Alto Perfezionamento in Arezzo, under the leadership of maestro Carlo Alberto Neri.
In 1991 he did military service in the Banda Nazionale of the Italian Army. The master of the band noticed his piano talent and so he decided to put the piano soloist in his inventory. He played the Rhapsody in blue by George Gershwin and the Warsaw Concerto by Richard Addinsell in his capacity as piano soloist of the Banda, during a tour in a lot of Italian theatres. At the end of the military service, Allevi started presenting in concert a repertory formed exclusively by his own compositions for pianoforte solo and at the same time attended the courses of “Bio-music and music therapy” by professor Mario Corradini, in which he enhanced his awareness of music’s great power of setting minds free and of evoking memories, images and emotions.
In 1996 he set to music the tragedy The Trojan Women by Euripides, represented on the occasion of the International Festival of the Ancient Drama in Siracusa, winning the special prize for the best scene musics.
In 1997 he won the international selections for young concertists at the San Filippo Theatre in Turin.
