RUSSIA
There are only a few who can say they’ve been there the first time a new work was performed, and you will be one of them when Bright Seng gives the world premiere of his work Concerto for Orchestra “Zodiac Tales.” The concert also features Rachmaninoff’s dramatically named The Isle of the Dead and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 “From the New World.” Get into the spirit of Russia with a tasting of American and Russian vodkas following the performance James Bond-style – “From Russia with Love.”

THE ROARING TWENTIES
Saturday, December 11, 2010

You may remember Of Mice and Men from highschool English class, but you probably don’t remember enjoying it as much as you will when the Hillberry brings this American masterpiece to life. DP2A will take note of the Great Depression in which the novel is set with a canned food drive to support Gleaners. Have a little fun after the theater with a party inspired by a 1920s speakeasy, complete with ragtime music and the flapper fashion that defined the era.

THE GREAT LAKES
Saturday, June 18, 2011

Debunking the myth that chamber music is for a limited audience, Chicago’s persuasive sextet, eighth blackbird, presents compelling performances that are surprising and downright fun. The group will perform a world-premiere work commissioned especially for them. DP2A will host a Chicago versus Detroit taste-off, with vendors providing tasty treats that represent each city. Are you a Coney dog devotee or is a Chicago-style hot dog the only way to go? Although friendly competitors, the challenge could become fierce!
