The link to the festival is borken.

I was just thinking summer music festivals... I'll save anybody some time if they want to know the prices: about $50 - $80 per ticket. Should be worth it though. And the recitals at Little Washington are $25.

Also all the "possibly related content" links are borked because they are missing the URI dates.
