Music and Dance through April 28
Tue, Apr 20, 2010
Opera fans will enjoy the opening performance of the Lyric Opera’s “Don Giovanni” on Saturday night, as well as concerts of opera scenes at the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance this weekend. Meanwhile, if Baroque music is your thing, The Friends of Chamber Music present one of the finest Baroque ensembles, the Venice Baroque Orchestra, on Friday evening at the Folly. Dance aficionados can experience the Owen Cox Dance Group’s odd concoction of figures from the Lewis and Clark expedition to the American West and characters from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice and Wonderland,” and also have a chance to see the country’s only primarily African American ballet company, the Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble, at Yardley Hall. The UMKC Conservatory’s Robert Olson presents the grand finale concert of the Signature Series on Saturday night including a world premiere by Conservatory composer James Mobberly. It’s a full weekend of performances, so be sure to get out there and enjoy as much as you can!
