NEXT Ensemble presents: Women in Music
Music, poetry and contemporary art come together in a celebration of the achievements of women in the otherwise male-dominated world of the arts. Enjoy a performance composed and performed by women in the gorgeous setting of Ogden Contemporary Arts’ female-driven exhibit “LAND BODY.” Because NEXT Ensemble believes in supporting local talent, all performers in this event are local. Two poets performing their work are Wynter Storm and Angelika Brewer. The music will be a collection of quartets by composers Caroline Shaw and Jessie Montgomery. The musicians are Marianne Rohbock on first violin, Jeline Barut on second violin, Tara Hoellein on viola and Kaitlin Findlay on cello. The whole family is invited and encouraged to attend.
Saturday, 7 p.m.; Ogden Contemporary Arts, 455 25th St.; $10; nextensemble.org.

This year will feature the Celtic fusion band Callanish from Salt Lake City, Celtic Beat Irish Dancers and the Wasatch & District Pipe Band. Peery’s Egyptian Theater says, “It is very exciting for the dancers to get to perform to live music.” Celtic Beat Irish Dancers are under the direction of LaRae R. Thackeray.
