Last Minute Plans: April 25 - 27
This week’s guide closes out April with genre-defying dance, musical nostalgia, and sweeping finales across the Ode network. In Boston, Dorrance Dance reshapes street and vernacular styles into a live, percussive experience, while Vancouver explores art, faith, and identity through one man’s monumental knitting project. From Seattle’s symphonic celebration to a live-score screening of *The Goonies* in Chicago, the weekend blends innovation and joy. Sunday brings chamber works in San Francisco, a playful family concert in Portland, Brooklyn Rider’s bold program in Santa Fe, and a grand finale from Las Vegas Sinfonietta.
