Arts & Events Calendar

true story of middle-aged friends Chris and Annie who, upon the sudden loss of Annie’s husband, resolve to raise money to buy a new sofa for the family room at the local Yorkshire hospital. Their racy plan to raise the money involves them and fellow Women’s Institute members tastefully posing nude for an annual calendar. The successful sales and media storm that follows puts Chris and Annie’s friendship to the test, while also proving “the flowers of Yorkshire are like the women of Yorkshire, the last phase of life is always the most glorious.” The Underground Theater is located on the 1st floor of the Depot.

Sibelius wrote about En Sago (A Fairy Tale) that in no other work did he reveal himself so completely. The DSSO contrasts this tragic tale with one of humor and rambunctiousness: Strauss’ Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks, one of Strauss’ greatest instrumental works. Finally, Strauss’ final composition, his Four Last Songs, includes some of the most beautiful music you’ll ever hear. Performed by Metropolitan Opera veteran Christine Brewer, this will be an evening to remember! Performance begins at 7 pm at the DECC Symphony Hall. Dsso.com
