What's up in Lansing: Heartland Klezmorim and more

Here's what's going on in town today

Posted

Good day on this chilly Friday.

If you're looking for a break from the saccharine sweetness of Valentine's Day, the Un-Valentine's Day concert takes place tonight in Dewitt. Read more about the show, now in its tenth year, here.

Celtic and klezmer cultures collide Friday night as the Ten Pound Fiddle presents a double-bill of international folk music. Lansing’s own Heartland Klezmorim specializes in klezmer, a celebratory dance music created by Eastern European Jews. The band’s lineup includes a husband-and-wife duo of local musicians and educators, David Klein on trumpet and Susanne Garber on violin. An Dro, a west Michigan-based outfit, mixes traditional Irish music with French, Scandinavian, Arabic and African influences. 7:30 p.m. $18/$15 members/$5 students. MSU Community Music School, 4930 S. Hagadorn Road, East Lansing. (517) 337-7744, tenpoundfiddle.org.

The All-of-us Express makes a stop in Narnia this month with its production of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” Based on the classic tale by C.S. Lewis, this play tells the story of four children who discover that they can travel through an enchanted wardrobe to the magical land of Narnia. This production is directed by Morgan Lees and features young performers from the Lansing area. 7 p.m. Friday; 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Saturday. $7/$5 youth 17 and under.
