Chorale presents ‘Music of Mozart’
The Lubbock Chorale invites the public to join them for an in-person concert featuring Music of Mozart at 6 p.m. Sunday at St. John’s United Methodist Church at 1501 University Ave., across from Texas Tech.

Originally written for performance at the Salzburg Cathedral in Austria, “Vespare solennes de confessore” features choir, chamber orchestra and soloists. “Te Deum in C” was composed when Mozart was only 13, demonstrating supreme technical mastery of musical forms and techniques of his time.
Socially distanced seating is available and masks are required for the safety of others. In-person ticketholders will be seated in groups or as individuals, as purchased in order. To be seated next to another ticketholder who has purchased tickets separately, email info@lubbockchorale.org.

Museum of TTU hosts art deco glass collection
The Museum of Texas Tech University, 3301 Fourth St., is hosting the exhibit “Art Deco Glass from the David Huchthausen Collection” through Sunday.
Organized by Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, this exhibit is from the Huchthausen Collection, which included early Twentieth century glass by iconic Art Deco studios such as René Lalique, Daum Frères, Pierre d’Avesn, Charles Schneider, Muller Frères, Marius-Ernest Sabino, Steuben Glass Works, and many others.
Characterized by smooth lines, geometric shapes, and bright colors, the Art Deco glass movement began, in part, as a reaction against the elaborate and ornate style of Art Nouveau in the late 19th century.
Art Deco Glass from the Huchthausen Collection included more than 200 pieces from his personal collection, which is now composed of more than 300 works of Art Deco glass, much of it by European designers.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. Museum hours are Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sundays 1-5 p.m.; and closed on Mondays.

The play continues April 30 and May 1 at 7:30 p.m. Masks will be required to enter the theater.
“King Lear” tells the tale of a king who bequeaths his power and land to two of his three daughters after they declare their love for him in an extremely fawning and obsequious manner. His third daughter gets nothing because she will not flatter him as her sisters had done.
When he feels disrespected by the two daughters who now have his wealth and power, he becomes furious to the point of madness. He eventually becomes tenderly reconciled to his third daughter, just before tragedy strikes her and then the king.
General admission tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for seniors and students. Tickets may be purchased online by going to the theater’s Facebook page at https://ift.tt/3tQ80pT
East Lubbock Art House hosting exhibition
East Lubbock Art House, 405 MLK Blvd., Suite 4, is hosting Jane Lindsay’s solo art exhibition, “And Justice for All” as part of its Vivian T. Cooke Memorial Exhibition Series.
“And Justice for All” explores the criminal justice system — especially through the Lubbock Criminal Justice system — mental illness, and the idea of all individuals being worthy of love and compassion.
Through daguerreotype, photo collage, and mixed media plexiglass sculptures, Lindsay speaks to the use of attorney visitation rooms, jail cells, the preciousness of each person that cycles through the legal system, and their personal experience of a career in the legal justice system.
The exhibition will be on display through April 30.
