Sander Kleinenberg 4/27 • Elektricity

"I thought it to be imporant to use my success and position in a forward-thinking, creative and modern way," says Kleinenberg.

He's currently working on a new album, and after traveling all the way to Pakistan on tour, he's thrilled to be playing the Motor City. "Detroit is one of the most influential places of the planet, when it comes to music. From the Jacksons to Carl Craig and from Derrick May to the Supremes. It has been an inspiration throughout modern music history. Playing in Detroit is and always will be special," he says. Tickets are $10, more info at elektricitymusic.com.

Swan Lake 4/27-4/29 • Detroit Opera House

Whether it be stage plays, films, operas or books, this enchanting tale has influenced storytelling for over a hundred years.

The Barcelona Ballet incorporates classical, neoclassical and contemporary choreography, making it the only classical ballet company in Spain. More info at michiganopera.org.

Magda Kaminski 4/27 • Bleu
The multi-talented Polish singer, dancer and songwriter Magda Kaminski has been performing on stages in Canada, Detroit and Chicago since she was a little girl, so it's no wonder where she developed her big stage presence. After becoming a well-known name in the Polish community, she decided to win America over. And so far she's been incredibly successful in doing so, especially right here in Detroit–her song "This Is It" hit number one in just two weeks on our local radio station, 96.3 and was number one on the Radio Café for eight weeks in a row. Recently, her album Who I Am was released and became an instant hit because of her captivating style of electronic pop music. Because she's been so well-received by Detroiters, she's going to be making an appearance and performing at Bleu Detroit on Friday.
