Over the past five decades, Ballet Hispánico has brought the richness of the Latinx culture to the forefront of performance, education and social advocacy.
As the frontwoman and guitarist for Alabama Shakes, Howard has become one of music’s most celebrated figures—the band has won four Grammys® (out of its nine nominations), and she has performed everywhere from the Obama White House to the main stage at Lollapalooza, where she sang with Paul McCartney at his invitation. But for her solo debut, Jaime, Howard boldly decided to explore new directions, with diverse instrumentation and arrangements and intimate, revelatory lyrics.

Tig Notaro
Beth Hart—War in My Mind
Friday, April 3 at 8pm
Wednesday, April 15 at 7:30pm
Tickets $35 / $55
Tickets $45 / $65
Tig Notaro is a groundbreaking stand-up comedian, actor, writer, producer, and director originally from Mississippi. Hailed for her effortless storytelling and fearless stage presence, her subject matter ranges from the delightfully absurd to the monumentally serious. Rolling Stone recently named Tig “one of the 50 best stand-up comics of all time.”
The 2014 Grammy-nominated blues singer sprang to fame in 1999 with the hit moody blues single “LA Song,” Beth’s music is featured in various television shows such as “Californication” and the remake of “Beverly Hills 90210.” In 2014 Hart was nominated for a Grammy® Award for her album “Seesaw.” Beth’s latest album “War In My Mind” is visceral and alive, every song a testament to Rob Cavallo’s production smarts—and the golden touch of mix engineer Doug McKean. Beth has collaborated with various musical luminaries including Slash, Joe Bonamassa, and Buddy Guy.
