Repeat after us: Pay no attention to the falling snow. It’s spring. It’s really spring. Whatever Mother Nature’s capricious weather, there are still plenty of great reasons to get out of the house this week for great arts offerings. In particular, although Holy Week doesn’t start until Sunday, Easter-themed programs are popping up like daffodils.
However one looks at it, this is a week of transition: Winter is fading but hasn’t completely surrendered. Daylight saving time has begun, returning our early mornings to darkness. For observant Christians, Lent is half over, but Easter is still weeks away. It’s the same in our arts scene, with events looking forward and back, opening and closing. Here are some not to miss.
Don’t worry. The fever will break. No, not yours (although we hope you’re well, of course): Mother Nature’s. By the end of the week, it’ll seem a little more like February again, just in time to inspire you to take advantage of these enjoyable indoor events.
Holiday music reaches its crescendo this weekend, so get out there and grab some. Plus, a certain little dance number from the Ballet returns to the new Music Hall…and so much more from which to choose…
Hosting out-of-town guests, longing for a different kind of date night, or simply wanting to peel the kids away from screens large and small? We have options from highbrow to lowbrow – so you don’t have to search, well, high and low.
If you were among the estimated one million people who braved downtown traffic to see the wonders of BLINK, you’re probably ready for something that’s happening indoors. Whether it’s an intimate concert in a living room setting or Part 3 of Music Hall’s rechristening, there’s a concert to fit you.
Yes, fall is technically a week away, but the crisp air can mean only one thing: fall festivals. They can range from a region-wide downtown extravaganza to afternoons in the park. Get outside and enjoy one this weekend.
Happy Recovery-from-Independence Day! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…enjoy the second half of summer. Below are a few options for the relatively quiet week ahead.
Two important instructions this week:

Now that our Madness has been cut in half (Thanks, Bearcats! Go, Muskies!), it’s time to turn to thoughts of spring. Opening Day is just around the corner. Get out and get busy…it’s going to be warmer!
