Shattered Glass- North Iowa Area Community

Conservatory. At the core of Shattered Glass is a commitment to the special
relationship it creates between audience and ensemble. By performing without a
conductor and tailoring each performance with exceptional attention to audience
an venue, listeners can't help but experience a connection with every one of
the musicians. Barriers typical of the classical music experience are, well,
shattered! Show begins at 7:00pm. Adults $20/ Students $10. Call for tickets

The Ukulele Orchestra of
Great Britain- North Iowa Area Community College Auditorium, 500 College Drive
(641-422-4188). The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is a group of all
singing, all-strumming ukulele players- using instruments bought with loose
change which believes that all genres of music are available for
reinterpretation, as long as they are played on the ukulele. A concert by the
Ukulele Orchestra is a funny, virtuosic, awesome, foot-stomping affair of
classics, country, rock-n-roll, and melodious light entertainment, featuring
only ukuleles and a menagerie of voices in a collection of toe-tapping oldies.
There are no drums, pianos, backing tracks, or banjos and no electronic
trickery- only an astonishing revelation of the rich palette of orchestration
afforded by ukuleles and singing (and a bit of whistling). Audiences will
experience an enjoyable time with Ukulele Orchestra! Show begins at 7:00pm.
Tickets start at $20. Call for tickets 641-422-4188 or order online at www.niacc.edu/boxoffice

Hill Brewing the second Thursday of each month from 4-8pm for Bottle Share
Night! Craft beer lovers are encouraged to bring at least 16 ounces of a new,
rare, old, oddball or just plain delicious beer they'd like to share. Whether
it’s a 2004 Cantillon Loerik you traded a kidney for, or just a great pale ale
you had at the tiny brewery near your grandma’s house last weekend, beer geeks
are encouraged to bring anything they’d like to share. If you’re a big enough beer nerd to have a favorite sampling glass, feel
free to bring it. If not, we’ve got a clean glass for you! This is a casual,
come-and-go-as-you-please event. There is no fee, but we do suggest a generous
tip for your friendly bartender who will be cleaning up after us all night.
As always, over-imbibing is not allowed. Hard
alcohol is never allowed in our taproom. The bottle share is for beer only. http://www.fathillbrewing.com/
