The Washington Ballet's latest program, on view through this weekend, is especially rich with the work of three great choreographers on display; this talented ensemble has never looked more lively and inspired, and it is a joyful evening not to be missed.

With the dreaded tax deadline looming and the clock ticking down, Warner Music Nashville trio The Railers' stomping new single “11:59 (Central Standard Time)” reminds listeners that “there are only 24 little hours in a day” and there's always reason to celebrate as “tomorrow's got another party in it.”

Washington Ballet's production of The Nutcracker, a beloved DC holiday tradition, has returned to the Warner Theatre in all its splendid glory.

Like the musical icons who inspired the work, The Washington Ballet's program BOWIE & QUEEN toys with the art form - respectful of classical roots yet pushing forward. The pieces innovate, celebrate and they have fun. While BOWIE & QUEEN is full of heart and poetry, the irreverent and humorous moments remind us all to lighten up and enjoy.
