Josh Abbott Band
Saturday, October 4
Billy Bob’s Texas
http://billybobstexas.com/music/josh-abbott-band
Abbott’s independent Texas spirit is stronger than ever. Among his goals “from the get-go,” he says, was for his band to distinguish itself as one of the “most successful independent country bands” of its era. And if there’s a difference between that and what most people consider “megastardom,” well, he’s quite OK with that, because “success” in his book isn’t defined by the all-or-nothing fantasy of platinum-selling records and sold-out arena tour.
Fiddler on the Roof
Casa Mañana
Through October 4
https://www.casamanana.org/performances/fiddler-roof
Rich in historical and ethnic detail, Fiddler on the Roof’s universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness. Set in the little village of Anatevka, the story centers on Tevye, a poor dairyman, and his five daughters. With the help of a colorful and tight-knit Jewish community, Tevye tries to protect his daughters and instill them with traditional values in the face of changing social mores and the growing anti-Semitism of Czarist Russia.
Bolero
Bass Performance Hall
October 2-4
http://www.fwsymphony.org/concerts/concerts.asp?concert=392
The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and mezzo-soprano Julie Boulianne will delight you in the sublimely tender anthology of songs of love, desire and longing, Les nuits d’été. Plus, from the opening cadence of single snare drum to the boisterous conclusion, Ravel’s Bolero marches through your ears with an unrelenting rhythm. This perennial audience favorite will captivate you with its hypnotic melody that weaves through the many instruments of the orchestra.
