The Turtle Creek Chorale has been making some interesting choices of late and their upcoming show is proof of that. On May 3 and May 6, the TCC performs The Healing Project touted as an exploration during challenging times. This show doesn’t sound like just another classy performance by the guys. What makes the show an extra special event is it “features a new work for chorus and instrumental ensemble by Jewish composer, Andrea Clearfield with texts by High Priest Robert Espindola, of the Community of Christ Church.”

The TCC site describes the concert as “a musical exploration of personal and communal courage during challenging times. Using poetry drawn from personal accounts and powerful, evocative music, we aim to promote awareness of the many similarities among various distinct communities, thus bringing them closer to healing as one greater community.” Not only that, they’ll be graciously sharing the spotlight with “several North Texas nonprofit organizations that provide services to minority communities will present informational exhibits in the Meyerson lobby during these concerts.” So don’t just head in there with your ticket in hand and looking to see and be seen…check out those nonprofits. It’s easy to say they need help but in these times, they really do.

Tix are $20 – $65 and the concerts will be performed at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, 2301 Flora St. with both shows starting at 8 p.m.

Well, after that headline, what else is there to say? In a unique season offering, the Turtle Creek Chorale gets funny by having Joan Rivers come to town at the Meyerson and do her funny thing. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen her boiled down to the comedian that she is. Instead, it’s about red carpet fashion or insurance commercials or QVC. Personally, I miss her talk show. She was dynamite with always hilarious opening monologues and I’ll always remember when she had RuPaul on who presented her with some cheesy “Diva award” or whatever and Joan just tossed it to the floor. Classic!

So, this might be a once in a lifetime deal to see her live. Unless your a fab celebrity walking into the Oscars on the red carpet. Then, you’ll just get to see her in a few months come awards season. If not, go buy your tickets now. Plus, opening local music acts Denise Lee and Liz Mikel are some major cherries on top of this bill.
