FALL GUIDE '11: Art Preview

Falling for art: Interesting exhibits come to schools, the city, and beyond this season

I crush on autumn so hard. You must understand, my fellow art enthusiasts, that besides being the moody, cozy-layering, tea-drinking time that it is, fall is also when my desk fills up with previews for exhibits taking place now through the springtime.

FALL GUIDE '11: Classical music preview

Break out the GPS: The sprawling new classical-music season will have you visiting all corners of the Greater Rochester area

If the 2010-2011 season was the best classical programming Rochester has seen in 20 years -- anchored by the grand finale season of Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor and Music Director Christopher Seaman -- the 2011-2012 season will be the year of the GPS. Classical music fans: start your engines, because we are going to be going out and about downtown and beyond to get to all of the wonderful offerings large and small, professional, student, and community.

FALL GUIDE '11: Dance Preview

This town’s got moves: Local and traveling troupes highlight the 2011-12 dance season

It's not easy to select only a handful of dance performances to recommend among the many offered in Rochester over the coming year. Dance is an art form with great variation, and people's preferences for one form over another -- say, contemporary rather than ballet, or African over tap -- are as personal as the type of music a person programs into her iPod.

FALL GUIDE '11: Movie preview

One week at a time: A reason to visit the cinema every weekend this fall

By now you know how Hollywood works, saving its finest films for year's end, with a couple of non-prestige (read: fun) offerings counterprogrammed against all that Oscar bait. You've probably also noticed that the studios tend to cluster their most promising submissions around a holiday.

FALL GUIDE '11: Music preview

Let the music play: Ten great concerts coming to town this fall

Given the number of venues, musicians, and concerts taking place any given week, it would be impossible for us to give you a comprehensive look at all of the popular-music concerts coming our way this fall. Instead several of the City Newspaper music writers have selected their picks for 10 can't-miss shows.

Curtains rising :Rochester’s 2011-2012 theater season will take audiences to Urinetown, Vichy, the South Pacific, and beyond

By Michael Lasser Anybody who can't find something to see in the five pages of single-spaced listings I perused for the 2011-2012 theater season must be bloody hard to please.
