Join composer Anjelica Lindsey (Cherokee Nation) and the University of Tulsa’s Hurricane Quartet at 101 Archer for an intimate evening of performance and discussion.
The program features selections from OKLAHOMA WOMAN QUARTET, songs for string quartet and voice composed and orchestrated by Lindsey that premiered earlier this year. Her historic concert was the first known Cherokee woman composer to premiere a string quartet.
If you missed the concert debut, this is a rare opportunity to experience these works live and hear directly from the composer about her creative process. Blending classical form, and personal history, Lindsey invites audiences into both the sound and story of her work.
The evening includes live performance and conversation, offering insight into how music can preserve memory, break through stereotypes and re-imagine tradition.

Tulsa Community College will present Heathers The Musical by Kevin Murphy and Laurence O’ Keefe on October 2, 3, 4th at 8pm and October 5th at 2pm in the PACE Studio Theatre.
This dark comedic rock musical, based on the cult 1989 film by Daniel Waters, follows high schooler Veronica Sawyer (Being played by guest artist, Sophia Krist) as she navigates the social battlefield of Westerberg High. After falling in with the ruthless clique known as the Heathers, Veronica meets the mysterious new student J.D. and things spiral into a deadly game of popularity, power, and revenge. With a thrilling score and biting humor, Heathers is a wildly entertaining and provocative look at teen angst and toxic conformity.
This performance includes adult themes and language along with themes of self-harm, violence, and suicide, which may be distressing to some audience members.
For tickets call 918-595-7777 or go to https://pacetickets.tulsacc.edu/events.
Tickets can also be purchased at the door.

Please come join us on Sunday, October 5th, at 3 PM, and help celebrate German-American Day. This long-standing tradition of the German-American Society of Tulsa celebrates the special relationship between the people of Germany and the United States. This day also is a celebration of Tag der Deutschen Einheit or German Unity Day, which commemorates when the Federal Republic of Germany and the Democratic Republic of Germany united to create one single federal Germany on October 3, 1990.
We have a variety of activities planned, including guest speakers and of course, the reception, with the cutting of the German-American cake. Don’t miss this important event which is open to our members of course, as well as the general public. Bring a friend or two, or ten!
Once a backyard favorite, the Texas Horned Lizard is disappearing—and it’s not alone. Monarch butterflies, native pollinators, and prairie wildlife are vanishing from our landscapes at an alarming rate. This quiet crisis threatens the biodiversity and natural heritage of the Southwest — and you can play a vital role in helping protect it.
Join us for a one-night-only screening of Where Did the Horny Toad Go?, a deeply personal documentary by filmmaker Stefanie Leland. Since making the film, Stefanie has taken on a new role as Director of Communications and Marketing for the Oklahoma Monarch Society, continuing her work to protect the native landscapes both species depend on.
🎬 The film uncovers the reason for the decline of the horned lizard and what it tells us about our changing environment.
🐛 Stay after the screening for a special Q&A session with filmmakers Stefanie and Beau Leland, musical composer Steven Stark, and sound recordist Royce Sharp. Plus, don’t miss the Okies for Monarchs educational booth, where you can learn how to support native species in our own backyards.
🎟️ $13 admission. 💸 50% of ticket sales goes directly to the Oklahoma Monarch Society’s statewide conservation efforts.
