Music
UAA Wind Ensemble
The original date for the UAA Wind Ensemble performance at Dimond High School had to be postponed. The rescheduled time and date is now 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, in the Dimond cafeteria/auditorium. The program will include the Tuba Concerto by Edward Gregson with soloist Jeff Manley. The ensemble, directed by Mark Wolbers, will also perform at noon Friday, Nov. 13, in Henderson Auditorium at Kenai Central High School. The best news? Both concerts are free and the wind ensemble is a great family concert suitable for all ages, including the very young who may never have heard a live performance before.
Dance
Momentum Dance
Remember Billy Idol? Prince? Journey? Pat Benatar? The Momentum Dance Collective revisits the good-time party era of 30 years ago with "The '80s: The Decade That Moved Us," a look back at the pumped-up pop movement that took us from disco to break dancing. The dancers will perform with live musicians Thursday-Saturday through Nov. 21 at Out North Contemporary Art House. The music starts at 7 p.m. each day and the dancing kicks in at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 at the door or $25 in advance through momentumdance.org.
Art
100x100
The International Gallery of Contemporary Art is holding a fundraiser with 100 works of art priced at $100 or less. They include pieces by major local figures like Garry Kaulitz, who also has a solo show this month at Alaska Pacific University. In IGCA's south gallery you'll find an audio-visual tribute to Alaska Quarterly Review and in the north gallery Rosemary Redmond is displaying abstracts she calls "Cyberscapes." Redmond is probably best known for her modern art, but she's also displaying architectural line drawings of houses at Fire Island Bakery this month. The longtime Anchorage resident says the drawings are made from photos she took 40 years ago and include several quaint old houses that aren't here anymore. She's titled that show, "They Took Paradise and Put in a Parking Lot."
