Faithfully recreating the groundbreaking music, minimalist staging, and infectious rhythms that made the original performance iconic, the Quad Cities' 10-piece Talking Heads tribute act Heads in Motion performs the groundbreaking Stop Making Sense at Davenport's Capitol Theatre on February 21, delivering the hypnotic pulse of “Psycho Killer,” the explosive joy of “Once in a Lifetime,” and other classics in a full-throttle celebration of one of the most influential live shows in music history.

The next performance of George Frideric Handel’s Messiah at Augustana College will be extra-special for its conductor and performers, as Jon Hurty – the school’s director of choral activities since 1996 – is retiring at the end of this school year. He will lead the classic oratorio on February 22 at 3 p.m. in Augustana College's Centennial Hall.

Returning to Moline with two spectacular Saturday-evening performances, the live, multi-sensory musical experience known as the Candlelight Concerts series enjoys its latest Quad Cities engagements at the city's First Congregational Church, the February 14 events boasting Tribute to Queen & More at 6:30 p.m. and Valentine's Day Special at 8:30 p.m.

Delivering a musical celebration of love under the baton of conductor Dr. Rossana Cauti, the Knox-Galesburg Symphony will present their ode to romance in A Symphonic Valentine, a night of iconic composers and unforgettable compositions taking place at Galesburg's Orpheum Theatre, appropriately, on February 14.
