Big Brothers Big Sisters: Dance for Kids’ Sake

October 10

Plaza Theater

This performance features El Paso native Mayo Alanen, who is a professional ballroom choreographer and performer based in NYC and has been featured on “Dancing with the Stars”. Dance for Kids’ Sake is the 8^th annual local spin on “Dancing with the Stars”, where locals become the dancers and judges to raise money and awareness for Big Brothers Big Sisters programs. All proceeds stay in El Paso and help support and create matches of mentors for the over 100 children on the waiting list for Big Brother Big Sisters. This program is important because the mentors keep children in school, away from gangs, off drugs and help them deal with real issues like bullying, depression and low self esteem.

El Paso Symphony Orchestra Presents Akyal

October 23

Plaza Theater

In 1959, Ferit Tuzun became conductor of the Ankara State Opera after his early training in Turkey and four years of study in Munich. His compositions illustrate the influence of Richard Strauss and Paul Hindemith and they include piano music, opera, orchestral works and chamber music. Akyal will show how his work as a conductor brings to his music the capability to use the orchestra skillfully. Akyal translates to “conversations”, and the individual sections of the orchestra appear to be conversing with each other throughout the performance.
