Presented by Houston Metropolitan Dance Company Laura Ingalls Wilder: Voice of the Prairie March 25, 11:00 am Voice of the Prairie presents Laura Ingalls Wilder's experiences on the American frontier, bringing to life this dynamic and distinctive historical era for children and young audiences. Presented by A.D. Players *Abraham Inc. Featuring David Krakauer, Fred Wesley and Socalled March 25, 7:30 pm Some musical collaborations can't easily be described. Such is the case with Abraham Inc., an upbeat and unusual ensemble featuring three stellar -- if disparate -- musicians. David Krakauer is a brilliant, classical and klezmer clarinetist. Fred Wesley is an extraordinary trombonist and the longtime musical director for James Brown. Socalled is a "beat architect" and the man who calls the music "super hybrid monster music." The combination of klezmer, funk and hip-hop yields cross-cultural party music that has to be heard to be believed.
