Both opera and dance fans have treats in store for them this weekend as the Lyric Opera continues its performances of the Mozart classic “Don Giovanni” and the Harriman Jewell Series presents the Moscow Festival Ballet in Delibes’ “Coppelia” on Saturday night. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chamber Orchestra concludes its season with a performance of Samuel Barber’s lush “Adagio for Strings” on Thursday night, along with a world premiere featuring the elegant soprano Sarah Tannehill, while Saturday night brings the famed Brentano String Quartet to Yardley Hall at JCCC. Fans of contemporary music can enjoy Terri Teal’s ensemble the Fine Arts Chorale in two performances of works by living composers on Friday and Saturday evenings, and the estimable newEar Contemporary Music Ensemble concludes its season with a Saturday night concert dedicated to local composer James Mobberley, who has long been associated with the group.
