Sept. 10-17
Cabaret at the Columbia Club

A visitor to town this week might think the Columbia Club on Monument Circle is the town’s busiest music showcase. On Friday and Saturday, a trio of Broadway and cabaret stars will present their “Three Men and a Baby … Grand” tribute to the Rat Pack. They’ll be followed by three nights of music showcases Sept. 13-15 featuring the likes of four-time Tony Award nominee Gregg Edelman and Broadway “Mamma Mia” star Karen Mason.

That’s not all. On the 14th, you can also see Karen Kohler’s interactive “History of Cabaret” show (which includes a dessert reception), catch hot jazz artist Jane Monheit on the 16th, and keep things going to the 17th for an evening of European cabaret and American pop with Kohler.

Why the musical convergence? Many of the acts are in town for the Midwest Arts Conference. Details on the open-to-the-public shows here.

Murat Theatre

This time last year, I had no idea what to expect from the Indianapolis City Ballet’s first gala performance featuring stars from ballet companies from around the world.

A year later, having experienced last year’s magnificent talent showcase, I do have an idea what to expect—and I can’t wait for the sequel. The lineup this time includes dancers from the American Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, Berlin Ballet and more, with a return appearance by Miquel Quinones, who will once again offer David Parsons’ “Caught” (which still gives me chills just thinking about it). Details here.

Indianapolis Museum of Art

It is entirely possible—although not recommended—to experience the Penrod Art Fair without actually visiting the artists’ booths. That’s because there will be live entertainment on six stages, including appearances by Dance Kaleidoscope, the Tad Robinson Band, the Indianapolis Children’s Choir, the Indianapolis Men’s and Women’s Choruses, Stacie Sandoval and her Tropical Jazztet, Cynthia Lane, Steve Allee & Friends, and New Shining Star offering an Earth Wind and Fire tribute.

Oh, and make sure to stop by the IBJ booth to say hello. I’ll be the guy handing out copies of IBJ’s Arts & Entertainment Season Preview (while supplies last, of course). Details here.

There’s a whole new crop of insanely talented violinists coming to town from Russia, Armenia, China, Germany, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Sweden, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, and elsewhere in the United States. But the eighth quadrennial event also includes something new after they’ve all performed. At the finals, while the judges are deliberating, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Zach De Pue will “blind” test both a contemporary violin and its old-school equivalent to see if audiences can actually tell the difference—and which they prefer. Sounds interesting. Details here.
