Museum dedicated to funk music

DAYTON

A museum dedicated to the funk music genre has opened its doors in Ohio.

The president of the Funk Music Hall of Fame and Exhibition Center in Dayton says the center received its final approvals from the city and is now taking reservations for private tours and events.

The Dayton Daily News reports David Webb says the grand opening will be held in January or February. A $5 donation will be requested per visitor.

Dayton was sometimes referred to as the Land of Funk in the 1970s and 1980s, thanks to groups including the Ohio Players, Steve Arrington’s Hall of Fame, Zapp, Faze-O, Heatwave, Sun, Slave and Lakeside.

‘Ashes’ to premiere at Pittsburgh Opera

PITTSBURGH

Pittsburgh Opera will produce “Ashes & Snow,” its second world premiere in two years in late February.

The opera, composed by Douglas J. Cuomo and directed by Jonathan Moore, will be performed in Pittsburgh Opera’s headquarters, 2425 Liberty Ave., in the Strip District. It’s based on Wilhelm Muller’s 24-poem cycle, which was used as the text for Franz Schubert’s “Winterreise.”

“Ashes & Snow” is set in the present day, and unfolds in a run-down motel room in the desert of the American West. The protagonist must confront his demons and face up to everything he has done as he searches for forgiveness, enlightenment and atonement. Performances will be at 8 p.m. Feb. 17; 7 p.m. Feb. 20; 7:30 p.m. Feb. 23; and 2 p.m. Feb. 25. Tickets start at $40; call 412-456-6666 or go to opera.culturaldistrict.org.
