Now that your taxes are filed, you can relax and enjoy a number of outstanding music and dance performances, both serious and comic, that fill Kansas City’s calendar during the last two weeks of April. Superstar violinist Itzhak Perlman comes to Helzberg Hall, the Baroque group Stile Antico graces the Friends of Chamber Music calendar, Musica Sacra performs works by Handel and Mozart, and Te Deum and the Village Chamber Choir are joined by the Kansas City Baroque Consortium for Bach’s Mass in B Minor. For opera fans, the Lyric Opera presents "The Mikado," newEar and the Owen/Cox Dance Group team up for the contemporary opera "Darwin" at Union Station, and both of our local universities present opera ("La bohème" at the University of Kansas and opera scenes concerts by the UMKC Conservatory). Along the comic lines, the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain and Les Ballet de Trockadero de Monte Carlo will have them laughing at Yardley Hall. Dance fans will enjoy the UMKC Conservatory spring dance concert, along with a performance by Quixotic Fusion at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.
