Jethro Tull

7:30 p.m.
   
With a career stretching back 40 years, British band Jethro Tull has grown from a modest, blues-playing ensemble to a progressive act that blends classical, folk, jazz and art rock into its sound. Fronted by vocalist/flute player Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull earned international stardom in 1971 with the release of Aqualung, which is still played on classic rock radio today. The platinum-selling follow-up Thick as a Brick continued the momentum, making Jethro Tull one of the most talked-about and best-selling acts of the era. All told, the band has racked up sales of around 60 million albums and played 2,500 concerts in 40 countries, and continues to play sold-out shows around the world.  Don’t miss Jethro Tull with special guests at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on Monday, September 24th.

Moscow Ballet brings the romantic and tragic beauty of Swan Lake in a new version, created especially for North American audiences by director/choreographer Anatoli Emelianov.
