Ballet Folklorico de Mexico and the Memphis Symphony Orchestra

Current Mood:

When Steve found out that the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico was doing a show in Memphis, he was excited and said that I would enjoy it very much :-). So we bought tickets for their Sunday presentation :-).

It looks like a great show--I'm looking forward to seeing it :-).

We also bought season tickets to the Memphis Symphony Orchestra's Pops series. They have a great lineup this year:

Misbehavin’ Nightly with Byron Stripling. With a contagious smile and captivating charm, trumpet virtuoso, accomplished actor and singer Byron Stripling has ignited audiences internationally. With guest conductor Matt Catingub and drummer Stephen Moretti, the Symphony and guests will dazzle you with the music of Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong and the sounds of New Orleans.
