A favorite in concert halls around the globe, Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski is the consummate performer, infusing his performances with equal measures of glittering technique and thoughtful introspection. From the intimate world of Mendelssohn’s Songs without Words to the kaleidoscopic bombast of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, Simon Trpčeski’s Meany Center program is set to dazzle and delight.
Diego El Cigala

Three-time Grammy winner Diego El Cigala has been called “one of the most beautiful flamenco voices of our time,” by legendary guitarist Paco de Lucia. With a sound described as “natural, inspired [and] drop dead gorgeous” by the BBC, El Cigala seamlessly melds the intoxicating rhythms and melodies of his Spanish Gitano heritage with styles ranging from bolero to tango, Afro-Caribbean jazz and Cuban son.
ArtVenture: Dream City Diorama
1:00 p.m., April 8 | Henry Art Gallery
Help sculpt a city that works for everyone. Families will think about how they benefit from their own neighborhoods and the differences, inequalities, or new ideas present in other places. Throughout the program, participants will create buildings and resources that contribute to a giant, collective, re-imagined city.
ArtVentures encourage families to think about art in new ways. Each month we take a big idea and explore it through playful and experimental activities. Drop in anytime between 1 and 3 p.m.!
