What’s on this week?

There is information about events in February and March in Kaleidoscope this week. News about the French Film Festival, Holden Street Fringe Program and an amazing event in the Arts Festival with Robert Davidson and Sonya Lifschitz, to help you make important choices. What should I go and see? What must I Absolutely Go and See?  Your choice.

The Alliance Français French Film Festival runs from the 23 March to 19 April, with thirty nine films, and multiple showings, so no need to miss out any. Associate-Professor Ben McCann is my guest talking about some of the films – French films being his expertise.

There are some great ones again this year. 

You can book now at affrenchfilmfestival.org  or you can find full details of all the films at palacenova.com.au and then book your tickets.

Martha Lott founded Holden Street Theatres and has guided it over twenty years to create a vibrant complex of drama, comedy, shows for children, shows for grownups and some shows from overseas.  Even a ‘naughty one’!

She talks about some of the highlights in the HST Fringe Festival this year.

Last week I spoke to composer  Robert Davidson about the Festival of Arts event, All About Myself: Piano Portraits. This week I speak to the pianist Soya Lifschitz about her part in this event. The conversation ranges from Sonya’s Ukrainian grandmother to Brahms. All totally relevant to the event at the Adelaide Town Hall 17 March 7.30 pm. Book your tickets at adelaidefestival.com
