She was purified at Paisley

On her first trip through the Twin Cities, Tori Kelly captured the attention of Prince's 3rdEyeGirl, who invited her to Paisley Park. She later captured the attention of the Grammys' blue-ribbon committee, which nominated her for best new artist. (Meghan Trainor won.) Now the 23-year-old pop-soul star behind the hits "Nobody Love" and "Should've Been Us" is headlining her own theater tour.JON BREAM

Alice Childress set her play-within-a-play "Trouble in Mind" in 1957 New York. A black actress questions the assumptions in a drama she is rehearsing and faces a dilemma: Should she compromise and achieve her dream of playing a leading role on Broadway, or withdraw? Valerie Curtis-Newton, a professor at the University of Washington, directs a cast that includes Atlanta-based actor Margo Moorer in the central role, plus Natha­niel Fuller, Austene Van and Kris L. Nelson.

Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna generated a stir with three Pharrell Williams-produced tracks on her self-titled 2012 record, then followed it up nicely with 2013's "Nocturnal," which straddled confessional pop and R&B. "Chapters," which drops May 20, has already yielded an exquisite love duet with Usher ("Crush") and a hip-hop fantasy produced by DJ Premier ("Places to Go") that has the 29-year old vocalist mimicking the vocal moves of Mary J. Blige the way her folk-jazz numbers ape Norah Jones.

Scintillating parallel octaves, bitonal clashes, scorching tremolos and arpeggios — Stravinsky's "Three Movements From Petrushka" runs virtually the gamut of what is technically possible to play on a modern piano. Originally adapted from his famous puppet-ballet for the fiery young Arthur Rubinstein, it anchors the final recital in this year's Frederic Chopin Society series. Brilliant Israeli pianist Roman Rabinovich also will play works by Haydn, Beethoven and Schumann.
