Mobile Arts news for today…

- The USA Vanguard, which is the student newspaper on the campus of the University of South Alabama, published a very detailed article on Mobile Ballet’s “A Gala Evening.” You can read it here.

- An e-mail from Ben Harper at the Mobile Symphony (MSO) reminded me that tomorrow tickets go on sale for the “Joshua Bell and the MSO” scheduled on Thursday, March 28 at 8 p.m. The tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m., but I know from experience the phone lines are often busy if you try to call at exactly 10 a.m. Be prepared for short waits and getting comfortable with the “redial” button on your phone. But hey, it beats camping out at Larkins Center!

- Speaking of the MSO, I cannot believe it’s only a few weeks until the annual “Beethoven and Blue Jeans” concert! It’s a personal favorite of yours truly, and one of the most attended concerts of the year. I will keep you posted all the way until the event, and will talk to Enen Yu (my violin teacher) to get all sorts of background information on the piece she is performing as a soloist with the orchestra!
