1. Tassels and Champagne: Valentine’s Day Burlesque

What’s Valentine’s Day REALLY about?

It’s about spending it watching some great entertainment with someone you care about of course.  The polished and powdered premiere Gilded Lily Burlesque–MARIA BELLA, SOPHIA SUNDAY, GIGI HOLLIDAY and stage kitten, LAUREN MARLEAUX transport you back to the swinging Prohibition era with burlesque and vaudeville performed to the live music of Baltimore’s own, SAC AU LAIT. At the Creative Alliance.

2. Dirty Soul Party

Mercy

We’re back with more dirty soul tracks, for an evening of screaming hollering” and stompin”, using both The Crown and The Gold Bar.
At the Gold Bar, DJ Exclaime (Four Hours of Funk)
At the Crown DJ Landis (DIG)

3. Meetwood Flac at Windup Space

Can’t Believe It’s Not Stevie Nicks!

This Valentine’s Day At Windup Space, Meetwood Flack gets back together after 2 years, playing an all Fleetwood Mac set. Some never performed songs will be introduced into the set.  This may not be the Fleetwood Mac cover band this city deserves but it’s the Fleetwood Mac cover band this city NEEDS.

4. Occupy Dance at Baltimore Theatre Project

Pressed on Preston

Theatre Project favorite Vincent Thomas returns to the stage with the Baltimore premiere of Occupy. This is Vincent’s most engaging and stunning work to date. The multi-media, multi-dimensional dance piece considers notions of how we inhabit or occupy space, what occupies our minds, what occupies our souls, and how these notions move us (personally, as a community/society) to make change…to move towards a revolution. Vincent’s work continues to be universal, tangible, and essential.

5. Hopkins Chamber Orchestra 

An Elegant Weekend Sendoff

Come see the Johns Hopkins Chamber orchestra for a free performance from Stephen Mulligan, Conductor of the Johannes Brahms: Serenade No. 1 Class things up a little with this one, and as we mentioned: no tickets or reservations required.
