Cabaret at the Connoisseur Room
While the name may not be familiar, I promise that
you’ve heard Catherine Russell sing. While she’s earned her R&B and pop cred from working with the likes of Paul Simon,
Chaka Khan and David Bowie, and released two acclaimed solo discs, she’s also had a parallel career as a top go-to performer
for commercials. As such, she’s lent her very flexible voice to ads for Oil of Olay, Dairy Queen, Wishbone and J.C. Penney.
You can hear some of those oh-so-brief musical moments here.

In celebration of what would have been legendary
violin teacher Josef Gingold’s 100th birthday, the Indianapolis Violin Competition of Indianapolis presents this tribute concert.
I have a selfish take on this event. The day I moved to Indianapolis I suffered through an awful theater production.
Fearing the worst, I communicated to my yet-to-arrive family that maybe Indianapolis was going to require more of a cultural
adjustment than I thought. But just a few days later, I attended a Circle Theatre concert tribute to Gingold, the visionary
violinist who founded and led the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis. Saddened that I never had the chance to
see Gingold play, I nonetheless had my faith restored in what Indy could put together.
Could this one-time-only
event rival that one? The talent is certainly there, including Andres Cardenes, Miriam Fried, Bella Hristova, Nai-Yuan Hu,
Jamie Laredo and the Indiana University Violin Virtuosi. For details, click here.
