I’m starting to cast about for live performances to make it through the winter here in Des Moines and there’s some good options:
- Karla Bonoff, singer-songwriter, Friday March 30 at the Temple for Performing Arts.
- Patty Larkin, guitarist-singer, Sat. April 14, at the Temple for Performing Arts , joined by two other “gender bending string” guitarists (i.e. very talented women who play the guitar). We were impressed when we saw her a few years ago and we liked the CD of music by innovative women guitarists that we bought at the show. We’ll hope to hear more of that at the upcoming concert.
- Billy Elliot, the Musical comes in June to the DM Civic Center. Loved the movie, heard good things about the musical.
- Royal Winnipeg Ballet performing Moulin Rouge: The Ballet on Sat. March 31 – I’d like to support the Civic Center’s 3-part dance series and this is the one that interests me most. Another option is Parsons Dance on Thursday April 19. Wish I could see some of my favorites here like Hubbard Street or the Joffrey or ABT or NYC Ballet or Alvin Ailey.
