Two Concerts

Berlin Philharmonic

Simon Rattle, conductor
Saturday, November 12 // 8 pm
Sunday, November 13 // 4 pm
Hill Auditorium

Philharmonic and music director Simon Rattle embark on their last
US tour together, bringing two concerts to Ann Arbor. “Watching
these players sweat their way through these symphonies, using
every muscle to make them dramas of sight as well as sound...their
commitment was palpable, their energy persuasive, their ability to
communicate with one another superior.” (New York Times)

A Prelude Dinner, sponsored by Journeys International, precedes
the Saturday evening performance. Reservations: 734.764.8489

source: Howard Beige,
57, a co-owner of
Rubie’s Costume Co., the
world’s largest maker
of Halloween costumes
and accessories. The
company is named after
Beige’s grandfather,
Rubin, who went into
Donald Trump mask
costume making in
1951 after selling a few
costumes out of his New
York City candy store.

Generally speaking,
Beige said, the more
popular presidential can-
didate sells more masks
— for example, Obama
masks outsold Romney
masks. But, he quickly
added, he wouldn’t
extrapolate that to this
election. For one thing,
far more Trump masks
are available than those of his Democratic
rival Hillary Clinton. That’s partly because
men are far more likely to don latex masks
that cover their entire faces than women.
Also, he added, he’s sure many people are

buying Trump gear intending to
mock the GOP candidate.
