Some things to look forward to at Jorgensen this year

Tickets went on sale this week for all the fall performances at Jorgensen on the UConn campus. As an undergraduate living on campus, I took advantage of the student discount all the time. Now, I'm going back for both nostalgia's sake and because there are some great acts that don't come around here often.

I actually just got my tickets to Pink Martini on Nov. 6 and Rufus Wainwright, who's performing Dec. 10-11. I think the last time Pink Martini performed close to Connecticut, the concert was in New Jersey and pretty expensive. I definitely need to see them for their orchestral music that really blends everything you want from jazz, Latin, classical and pop for playing around your house, in the car, and while studying. It's sure to be an amazing show.

The Jorgensen fall schedule is as follows:
Orpheus Chamber Orchestra Oct. 15
Pink Martini Nov. 6
The Seasons Project: Venice Baroque Orchestra Nov. 9
Michael J. Fox Nov. 10
Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet Nov. 12
Raj Patel: Stuffed and Starved Nov. 15
Merchants of Bollywood Nov. 19 – 20
Boston Pops Holiday Concert Dec. 4
Rufus Wainwright Dec. 10 – 11
