Dance fans will enjoy the Ensemble Español Spanish Dance Theater at Yardley Hall. And don’t forget Jan Kraybill’s annual Super Bowl Sunday organ recital as well as a Valentine’s treats by Elizabeth Suh Lane’s Bach Aria Soloists and by Terri Teal’s Fine Arts Chorale. ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[ Now in its 21st season, the Performing Arts Series at Johnson County Community College has built a reputation for high quality, diverse programming, with a schedule of visiting artists ranging from chamber ensembles and jazz quartets to international orchestras, and from one-person comedy showcases and avant-garde dance companies to grandly staged Broadway musicals. Since assuming the role of general manager in 2009, Emily Behrmann has endeavored to broaden the Series’ target audience and further expand its offerings on the stages of the JCCC’s Carlsen Center.

This week, Behrmann sat down with Victor Wishna to discuss the state of the Performing Arts Series—its successes, challenges, and plans for the future—and what it means to be both “a Johnson County alternative” and an integral part of Kansas City’s growing and glowing performing-arts scene.
