Art of the World Gallery Presents Carole A. Feuerman Between the Drops
2019-05-01 10:00 - 2019-05-28 19:00 | Art of the World Gallery, 2201 Westheimer Rd, Houston, 77098
Art of the World Gallery is pleased to present Between the Drops , an exhibition of work by acclaimed New York artist Carole A. Feuerman . New works will be on view made especially for this exhibition. Between the Drops will be on view from March 22 through May 18, 2019. Between the Drops is a show that celebrates the joy de vivre. This comprehensive show includes a variety of styles and materials: resin and bronze, painted and monochromatic, and video. The realism in Carole Feuerman’s art stems from her desire to portray emotional and physical states of being, ranging from peacefulness to energetic vigor. Feuerman states, “I make my sculptures about people who are comfortable in their own skin. I promote the idea of total health, with a sound mind in a sound body. This is one of the defining aspects of my realistic style. Forty years ago, showing healthy, intelligent women was a radical departure in contemporary art. Now it is a widely accepted ideal, yet most contemporary artists don’t explore this topic—at least not in figurative art. Though my art is varied and has changed over the years, my love for it continues to grow.”

Self-taught siblings amaze indie music fans, bring blues and funk to Bayou Theater
2019-05-03 19:30 - 22:00 | University of Houston-Clear Lake, 2700 Bay Area Blvd, Houston, TX, 77058, United States
The very first song Glenn and Alex Peterson learned to play together when they were children was “Amazing Grace.” Alex, who was about 9 at the time, played violin and his then-11-year-old brother played guitar. Almost immediately, they both realized this was “it” for them, and now, the Peterson Brothers have become fixtures on Austin’s indie music scene and are bringing their blend of blues, funk, jazz and R&B to the Bayou Theater at University of Houston-Clear Lake on Friday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m.
Since Alex, now 20, and Glenn Jr., now 22, graduated from Bastrop High School, they are committed to making music full-time. “Our first live performance as the Peterson Brothers was in Austin when we sat in with (noted blues pianist) Pinetop Perkins at Nuno’s Bar on Sixth Street,” said Alex. “Our mom is our manager and she reached out to his manager. We got to sit in and play, and that was our first time to perform.”
Sitting in with Perkins, said Glenn Jr., taught them the proper etiquette of being on stage, playing rhythm and supporting the song. “Even if you’re having a solo, you can’t have two people playing over each other, you have to go back and forth,” he said. “We learned how to play in a group.”
Both brothers are self-taught musicians and are always working to learn a new instrument and to continue writing new music. “We never had a solid music teacher,” Glenn Jr. said. “We just go to jam sessions with other musicians and we ask a lot of questions. It’s a lot of self-teaching and listening and watching. Ever since I was about 11, this was our ‘video game.’ Music is what kept my brother and me sitting down and interested for hours,” he said. “Other kids were playing video games and we were playing music.”
These days, the Peterson Brothers have a standing room only weekly residency at Austin’s famed Continental Club. “It’s weird to think we have a fan base now,” Glenn Jr. said. “We just like to get on stage and have fun and express ourselves. We are super appreciative of everyone who comes out to our shows.”
The brothers said their intent when they perform was to make their audience feel their positive energy. “We always try to do songs everyone can enjoy,” said Alex. “One song we always do is ‘Amazing Grace,’ in instrumental led by violin. But all artists are fair game for us to cover, and because we listen to the same music, anything can go. It’s cool not to be in a box. You might hear a melody you recognize in the middle of some other song. There’s no limitations, we just get up and play what we feel and have fun.”

Guest Artist Workshop Performance: Contradiction of the Southern Soul
2019-05-09 20:00 - 22:00 | Quintero Theatre, 3351 Cullen Blvd, Houston, 77204
Written by Sally Mayes
Directed by UH alumnus Brett Cullen
Music by Sally Mayes, Tex Arnold, Alex Rybeck and Ethan Fein
Orchestration by Cooper Baldwin
The School of Theatre & Dance is excited to announce a special guest artist residency and workshop performance with actress, singer and Tony Award nominee Sally Mayes.
Growing up in East Texas gave Mayes many things — a love for music of all kinds, a high tolerance for extremely spicy food and an appreciation for all things odd and quirky. Most of all, it gave her a bone-deep love for a people that are frequently caricatured but not often understood, and a longing to tell their stories in all of their complicated messiness.
Described as a memory play with music, “Contradiction of the Southern Soul” tells the story of an actress returning to her East Texas hometown in the wake of a family tragedy to make peace with the past and accept the future.
“I say it’s a show about looking back in order to be able to move forward. It’s a love letter to my family and the colorful people who formed me, this place and these people made me who I am.” – Sally Mayes
All ticket sales support School of Theatre & Dance scholarships.

Da Camera presents Weinberg and Mendelssohn
2019-05-10 20:00 - 23:00 | The Wortham Theater Center, 501 Texas Ave, Houston, TX 77002, Houston, 77002
Da Camera of Houston concludes its 2018–19 season with its unifying finale, “Weinberg and Mendelssohn” featuring the Daedalus Quartet in their Da Camera debut, along with the Brentano Quartet and Sarah Rothenberg, piano. The concert unites works by two composers, born more than a century apart, who represent the complex story of Jews throughout Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries: Mieczysław Weinberg’s Piano Quintet, a dark and tragic composition that, in five movements, seems to encapsulate the Polish-Russian composer’s life story; and, in contrast, Felix Mendelssohn’s Octet in E-flat Major, Op. 20, which exudes a hopeful vision of the future.

Out of the Dark
2019-05-11 19:30 - 21:30 | Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church, 6221 Main Street, Houston, 77030
Our season began with black darkness and will close with white light; colors of high contrast. Axiom Quartet’s “Out of the Dark” is a journey from the dark into the light with works by three celebrated living composers: Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Arvo Pärt. Terry Riley’s G-Song, a piece written for Kronos Quartet in 1980, is a piece with jazz improvised origins. It is also a work with never stopping momentum that creates a sense of travel, and a relentless minor mode that evokes a lament-like pathos. Fratres by Arvo Pärt is one of the most recognizable pieces of music from the 20th century. In it, Pärt juxtaposes the symbolic stillness of the universe with the frantic struggle of the human life and ends with the luminous realization of peace. Lastly, Axiom will perform Steve Reich’s Different Trains for String Quartet and pre-recorded tape. This Grammy-award winning work deals with Reich’s Jewish heritage and is a meaningful continuation of Reich’s signature minimalist style.
$15-$30

The writing is beautiful, the dialogue is so smart, but beyond that, I am fascinated by this relationship between the two women,” said Jennifer Dean, director. “The way we see the dynamics between them, and how they change over the years, makes me step back and think about my own relationships. I can’t wait to dig into rehearsal with this talented cast.”
4th Wall’s production features an outstanding cast and crew, including actors Kim Tobin-Lehl and Reagan Elizabeth alongside director Jennifer Dean. Also returning to 4th Wall are Tony nominated scenic designer & lighting designer Kevin Rigdon, sound designer Robert Meek, costume designer Macy Lyne, and properties master Shelby Marie.
