The chemistry between lang and her new band, The Siss Boom Bang, is reflected in Sing It Loud, her first studio album since 2008's Watershed.

October 22 - 7 p.m.
Insight Through Education, Palm Beach Opera, Young Singers of the Palm Beaches & the Kravis Center Present
BRUNDIBÁR
This children's opera tells of a brother and sister who seek money through singing in the street to buy milk for their ailing mother, only to have the quest thwarted by the evil organ grinder Brundibár. Extolling the triumph of good over evil, Brundibár has become an allegory of Hitler and the Nazi reign. Today, the opera provides a vehicle to instruct children in the importance of responsibility and courage in standing up against bullying and tyranny.
(NOTE: Performed by children during the Holocaust at the Terezin concentration camp near Prague, Brundibár was used by the Nazi regime as a propaganda tool to delude the outside world into thinking the Jewish prisoners were being treated humanely.)
Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall
Tickets start at $12
November 6 - 8 p.m.
BENISE, THE SPANISH GUITAR
Armed with his Spanish guitar, a world-class band and elaborately choreographed dancers, Benise fuses Latin styles with African rhythms and rock to create a sound that is as edgy and exotic as it is romantic and sensual. His Emmy Award-winning PBS production, Nights of Fire!, was dubbed "an exotic voyage through a land of romance and wonder" by The New York Times.
Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall
Tickets start at $25
