Thursday’s Hot Tickets: Bartok, Bristol, and the Final Exits
CLASSICAL MUSIC
Grammy-winning concert pianist and recipient of the coolest name award Emanuel Ax (pictured) and his also-pianist wife Yoko Nozaki team up with the Orchestra and special guest conductor Alan Gilbert (NY Philharmonic, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, and Hamburg’s NDR Symphony Orchestra, whew!…) at the Kimmel for a bit of Hillborg and Bartok. If you’re not convinced, go for the $7.50 tickets (plus, some people say that the sound is better in the nosebleeds…).
THEATER
No matter what you may think about the beleaguered little town of Bristol, the Bristol Riverside Theatre (with over 50 Barrymore nominations), should not be dismissed. Their current show, Welcome Home Marian Anderson, about the groundbreaking Philadelphia contralto, ends on Sunday.
SPEAKING OF LAST CHANCES
Also ending this weekend: the Auto Show at the Convention Center, Avenue Q at the Forrest, John Francisco’s photography exhibit “Far from Zion: Jews, Diaspora, Memory” at the University of the Arts, Whistle Down the Wind (music by Andrew Lloyd Webber) at the Merriam, and Yasmina Reza’s Art at Delaware Theatre Company.
