It's no smoking day so why not smoke yourself silly at one of today's events? Well, actually, you can only do that at two of them. But look out tomorrow for a new week's worth of events, at which you may or may not be able to smoke.

What did the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus sound like? Well, it goes a little something like this, according to Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767). An appropriate way to signal the end of the Holland - Flemish culture festival.
