Lots to do this month

Please check out this week’s “Weekend Calendar,” for a look at the many events being offered.

One of them will the OKC Ballet’s presentation of “Cinderella,”at the Civic Center in downtown Oklahoma City. There will be performances from Friday to Sunday.

Also, Armstrong Auditorium, later this month, will feature the National Philharmonic of Ukraine. They stop here in Edmond Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. Conductor Theodore Kuchar leads the orchestra in a program featuring works by Brahms and Bruch, as well as Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony.

“To have one of the most wellknown symphonies played at Armstrong by such a storied orchestra will be a profound experience for our audience,” said Program Director Ryan Malone. “I’m also excited we can offer, for the first time on our stage, one of the most beloved violin concertos from the repertoire.”

In addition to the “New World” symphony, the Ukrainian orchestra will perform the Tragic Overture by Brahms, as well as the Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor by Max Bruch. This will feature Ukrainian violinist Andriy Tchaikovsky.

Founded in 1902 in Lviv, the National Philharmonic of Ukraine was led by historic figures such as Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss and Ruggero Leoncavallo. This illustrious orchestra continues its two-century legacy in 2023 under the baton of principal guest conductor, the multiple award-winning Theodore Kuchar— the most recorded conductor of his generation.
