Cannons roar. Drums thunder. For Opening Weekend, Michael Francis is not holding back – setting the tone for a season of bold, high-voltage music. We’re off and running with Rossini’s galloping William Tell Overture. Take a moment to catch your breath with the quiet intensity of Christopher Theofanidis’ The Gift, featuring tenor Anthony Dean Griffey. Then, hold on tight for a full blast of musical firepower as Beethoven’s Wellington’s Victory meets Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, featuring the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay like you’ve never heard them before. A concert of pure exhilaration from start to finish.

Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture

Duke Energy Center for the Arts

After a triumphant and sold-out Australian national tour, the smash hit RBG: Of Many, One finally arrives in Adelaide.
The brilliant Heather Mitchell will be reviving her award-winning and critically acclaimed “virtuosic performance” (The Conversation ) of the woman who changed the face of the American legal system: the indomitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

RBG: Of Many, One

Adelaide Festival Centre

Get ready to feel the heat, listen to the beat, and move your feet. Created especially for families, participants in this workshop will begin with a print-making workshop that explores the meaning and significance of Adinkra symbols in West African culture, then learn about and experience traditional West African Dance and contemporary AfroBeat dance moves.

For Families Moving to the Beat: West African Dance and Visual Art

Ypsilanti Freighthouse

Originating from the Malinke people of West Africa, Moribayassa is a traditional practice in which participants are invited to relieve their burdens through movement and music. The practice uses dance and live drumming as a way to offer thanks for overcoming obstacles or adversities within the context of community support. Participants will be invited to write, sing, and dance as a healing modality for their struggles.
