Elf the Musical -December 26 to Dec 30, 2018-Heinz Hall
It’s a tradition in our house to watch the movie Elf every Holiday Season. The musical based on the comedic movie, tells the story of Buddy who was raised by Santa after he slipped into Santa’s bag one Christmas Eve. Buddy towers over Santa’s elves and does not have the knack for building toys but Buddy is full of Christmas spirit. He ventures to NYC in search of his real dad, finds love and spreads his infectious cheer through the city.

Join me from December 26 to 30, 2018 at Heinz Hall and believe just like Buddy, that the “best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear”. For tickets trustarts.org.

Sean Jones: Suite for Flying Girls-December 12, 2018-August Wilson Center
I recently experienced the smooth sounds of trumpeter Sean Jones as he mastered the instrument during a night of jazz with the Pittsburgh Jazz Orchestra (Day 308- Liberations). Jones is back to perform a show inspired by the images of freedom and hope in Peju Alatise’s sculpture Flying Girls, which is on exhibit at the Wilson Center. This should be an interesting collaboration of two art forms-music and physical art.
Join me on December 12, 2018 at the August Wilson Center as trumpeter, Sean Jones, musically captures the spirit of Perje Alatise’s exhibit. For tickets go to trustarts.org or awc.org.
