Some things that didn't make the paper

As it's a busy weekend, and I tend to write too much about this and that, several events that were written for the Arts column in the Spot had to be cut.

So:

Works by professional artists as well as newcomers to the art of woodturning will be on display at the Northeastern Oklahoma Wood Turners Association show, Friday and Saturday in the Wood Arts Center, 1324 E. 24th Place.
Hours for the show are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, and demonstrations of wood turning techniques will take place throughout each day.
More than 60 pieces have been selected for show, including works by Ron Fleming, Bob Hawks, Tim Yoder, Ken Hager, Maurice Clyma and Jim Vander Lind.

Two of the leading Israeli musicians — pianist Irit Rub and Yossi Arnheim, principal flute of the Israel Philharmonic — will perform as part of the 2010 Young Artists Competition, sponsored by the Oklahoma Israel Exchange.
The competition, which will be at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Tulsa PAC, 110 E. Second St., will feature the 2009 winner, Marcin Parys, performing a work written for him by Israeli composer Elad Katz as well as works by Chopin.
The competition is a statewide contest for pianists ages 21-28. Tickets are $15; 596-7111, tulsaworld.com/mytix.

Opera, dance and literature come together in “Where the Wild Art Is,” a program by Tulsa Youth Ballet, a program of Oklahoma Performing Arts Inc.
The performance — 2 p.m. Saturday at the Tulsa PAC, 110 E. Second St. — will include “Go, Gianni, Go,” an operetta adapted from Giacomo Puccini’s comedy “Gianni Schicchi”; “Where the Wild Art Is,” a ballet inspired by Maurice Sendak’s beloved book “Where the Wild Things Are”; the tap-dance number “Rockin’ School”; and “Children at Play,” a ballet based on the writing of Oklahoma Poet Laureate Francine Ringold.
Tickets are $5. 596-7111, tulsaworld.com/mytix.
