Few places in the world capture our imagination like the American West. From the range, ranch, reservation and roadhouse, from the valley of the Rio Grande to the Bitteroot Mountains, the National Council for the Traditional Art's Don't Fence Me In: Songs, Music and Poetry of the American West tour explores the region's celebrated musical and oral culture. Cowboy songs and poetry, western swing fiddle and vocal harmonies, lively Tex-Mex polkas and rancheras, and Northern Plains powwow drum and song are performed by exceptional artists--all working cowboys and other authentic representatives of today's western culture. The night's entertainment features Wylie and the Wild West (cowboy songs and High Plains yodeling), North Bear (Northern Plains Powwow drum and song), The Quebe Sisters Band (Western Swing and Texas fiddling), Los Texmaniacs (Tex-Mex Conjunto) and Paul Zarzyski (Cowboy poetry).

La Jolla Symphony & Chorus Pay Tribute to Earth/Peace

Full Price:
$29.00
Our Price:
$14.50

The 110 musicians of the La Jolla Symphony and its 130-member chorus are always on the cutting edge when it comes to orchestral-vocal concert performances, and their latest is no exception. Conducted by David Chase, the program features a trio of the 20th century's greatest composers exploring the idea of peace on earth. Soprano Mary Jaeb and bass-baritone Dean Elzinga are the special guest soloists for this event, which opens with Benjamin Britten's intensely pacifist Sinfonia da Requiem. That piece is followed by expressionist composer Arnold Schoenberg's Friede auf Erden (Peace on Earth) and Ralph Vaughan Williams' Dona Nobis Pacem, a stirring work based on the Bible and the poetry of Walt Whitman. A pre-concert lecture begins one hour prior to the performance. Learn More

Pretty fun. Some of the 5 acts were better than the others. This is a fairly long show - 2 1/4 hours with a 15 minute intermission.

There were five very different types of entertainers. I enjoyed three of them and though the other two were very talented and offered interesting cultural information, I would have preferred to have the other three groups do more.
