Orpheum Theater: Complexions Contemporary Ballet: Love Rocks

 I very much enjoyed the ballet of Contemporary Ballet and its love dances.  It is based on music by Lenny Kravitz.  There is early on a version of Amazing Grace which is very well done.  The singing was in a very low register.  There was a dancer who began the entire dance with an a'capella introduction, but his dance was very powerful throughout.  The last song was Lenny Kravitz' "Here to Love."  The combination of music and dance was very effective.  There were eight men and six women, so a couple times men were partnered with men.

Musical Columns at South Omaha Library

 I have seen theser columns many times but did not realize they were xylophone type instruments.

Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: Bellevue Soccer Complex

Bob Walter's Sports Complex is sponsored by the Bellevue Soccer Club.  It is located north of the 370 on 42nd, or south of the Marcus Twin Creeks Theater.  I was there for a game a few days ago.  It has a nice snack shack which was not active for the game.

Heartbeats at Gene Leahy Mall

 Terri Jo vocals and Jeff Jenkins piano.  Autumn Leaves

I took the grandbabies to Gene Leahy Mall.  They enjoyed the playground more than I, while I tried to get in as much music as I could while they played.  The Riverfront provided donuts and they had bags to decorate.  Tony was a great help keeping an eye on the kids.
