Pop and Opera, together at last!

Wyoming's Karen Clift, clasically-trained soprano, and Spencer Bohren, folk singer, will perform together at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 21, at the WYO Theater, 42 N. Main in Sheridan. A reception will be held before the performance, at 6 p.m. at King's Ropes' Museum. Tickets for the performance are $25 for the concert, $50 for the concert and reception. FMI: 307-672-9084.

Along with many other musical offerings, Karen Clift, who has won two Grammy awards, will belt out Appalachian ballads to the banjo. Spencer Bohren, a traveling folk musician with 40 years of on-the-road experience, will tackle a 16th Century opera duet by Monteverdi.

The concert is a benefit for Sheridan Memorial Hospital's Hospice of the Bighorns program.
