Must Listen
Two Music Greats Play the Paramount

Saturday (3/14, 8 p.m.) With 32 Grammy Awards between them, music legends Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea take the stage together in a show that very well may cause fans to spontaneously combust.

Must See
PNB’s The Vertiginous Thrill of Forsythe
(3/13 to 3/22, times vary) Our own Pacific Northwest Ballet performs The Vertiginous Thrill of Forsythe, a triple bill of stunning work by the contemporary choreographer, known for his exacting, relentlessly paced pieces that put dancers through the paces and audiences over the moon.

Must Go Green
St. Patrick’s Day Events In and Around Seattle

(Dates and times vary) Pull out the cable-knit sweater and gather ’round the Guinness, because St. Patrick’s Day is coming and celebrations aplenty are brewing all over town.

Must Screen
Jewish Film Festival Kicks Off

(3/14 to 3/22, times vary) Join the 20th-anniversary celebration of this festival of Jewish cinema, this year boasting 31 films from 10 countries, including Hanna’s Journey (surrounding the continuing evolution of German-Israeli relations), Mr. Kaplan (about an elderly Jew in South America who becomes convinced he’s discovered a former Nazi) and Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem (about an Israeli woman who spends five years trying to get a divorce).

Must Go East
Bellevue Arts Museum Showcases Political Pins

(3/13 to 6/7, times vary) Who among us can boast a Presidential Medal of Freedom and a killer brooch collection? Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright knows politics, and she also knows how to accessorize. Showcasing her signature “diplomacy through pins,” Read My Pins features standouts from her collection including a golden serpent, a Lady Liberty with clocks for eyes, and a ruby-eyed eagle gripping a pearl in its talons.
