March 13 | Celine Dion

There are stars, and then there are legends. There is no question where Celine Dion falls — she who combines the essence of a showgirl and a diva and French Canadian royalty with That. Voice. This show is a people pleaser fit for anyone in your life, whether it’s the high school musical star who dreams of his own vocal range stunning Broadway audiences or the millennial who clings to the romantic memory of that eternal “Titanic” love. Put on your gowns, it’s power ballad time.

March 7 & 25 | Performances at The Frick

Music and the visual arts are natural companions, enhancing one another sensually and intellectually. This month The Frick Pittsburgh offers two performances designed to complement its current exhibit, “Maker & Muse: Women and Early Twentieth Century Art Jewelry.” At the beginning of the month, stop by the Frick’s rotunda for a free performance from Sue Garton, a handbell performer with an innovative repertoire of early 1900s music accompanied by a pianist. Ring-a-ding! On the 25th, there is a ticketed show, “Electricity: Songs from the Time of Tiffany,” which will feature songs that were popular during or representative of the turn of the 20th century, when designer Louis Comfort Tiffany was a star of his craft.

March 14 | East of the River: Hamsa

If music is the universal language, then the recorder is baby’s first word. Thrust upon our nation’s third graders along with the sheet music for “Hot Cross Buns,” the recorder has a surprisingly long history integral to how we use instruments today. Early music group East of the River features two renowned recorder artists; this month, catch their special performance of Near Eastern, Maqam-based music.
