So many fun things to do this weekend and over the next couple weeks...

There are so many great opportunities to support the arts community coming up in the next few weeks.... here is a quick run down of a few of the highlights—

This is the last weekend to enjoy The Three Musketeers with Ballet West. Get ticket and show information at the Ballet West site

Then keep the weekend moving with Symphony and the Vivace After-Party on Saturday. All the details for the after-party are in the post below and here's a little info on the Symphony - Get tickets at the Symphony site

The Rite of Spring

Keith Lockhart, conductor
Julie Albers, cello
Inspired by pagan ritual, the pulsing drama of The Rite of Spring stirred up a violent riot when it premiered in 1913, causing Stravinsky to flee the theater. We can’t wait to see your reaction! This work will leave you breathless, and possibly more fertile.

Don't forget about the Jewish Art and Food Festival either! You should also know that the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company is performing at the festival on Sunday afternoon. It's free to get in that day, so be sure to stop by!
