Arts reporter and critic Rosemary Ponnekanti keeps you in touch with the arts and culture scene with the help of other News Tribune writers, critics and editors.
Rosemary Ponnekanti is the arts reporter at The News Tribune, and has been a classical music nerd nearly all her life. Besides spending way too much time in galleries, museums and concert halls, she occasionally brings a whistle or double bass to Celtic jam sessions, and insists on singing "Happy Birthday" in four-part harmony.

Pink Martini is kicking off the 09-10 season for the Broadway Center for the Performing Arts. The wildly eclectic Portland band performs an October 8 show at the Pantages Theater.
Fans know the band ranges from Spanish to Japanese and from songs about tomatoes to skinheads.
It's a fitting kickoff for BCPA -- the entire season, announced this week, is just as varied as Pink Martini's repertoire.
Performing during the 26th season are: Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt, Gaelic Storm, Seattle Men’s and Women’s Chorus and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Other appearances include Public Radio International's Ira Glass, the Smothers Brothers, Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble and Soul Street Dance Co.
Theater includes "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "The Salvation of Iggy Scrooge"- both in partnership with Theatre Northwest - and the return of "Defending the Caveman."
The company that produced "Altar Boys" is bringing "Cabaret" to BCPA April 16, 2010. The cool thing about this performance is that BCPA is transforming their newest rehearsal hall into the Kitkat Club for a post-peformance reception.
For fans of classic movies BCPA is partnering with The Grand Cinema for The Cary Grant Screwball Comedy Film Festival. Films include "Arsenic and Old Lace," (Oct. 30), "Philadelphia Story" (Feb. 14) and "His Girl Friday" (April 2).
