Magic and music collide this Halloween when illusionist Michael Grandinetti joins the Miami Valley Symphony Orchestra for Symphony of Illusions, an interactive afternoon of magic and music for the entire family, on Saturday, October 31 at 3 PM at the Dayton Masonic Center.

Watch extraordinary illusions unfold on stage, set to live orchestral music from Harry Potter, Star Wars, E.T. and more. And don't expect to just sit back: at Michael's shows, the audience becomes part of the magic.

Michael has starred on NBC's "The World's Most Dangerous Magic II" and The CW's "Masters of Illusion." He has performed with symphony orchestras and Oscar-winning composers, at NFL and NBA halftime shows, and even at The White House. Entertainment Weekly calls him "a great magician," and Forbes named him "a top modern magician."

Kids (and kids at heart) are welcome to come in costume. The show runs just under two hours, so you'll be home in plenty of time for trick-or-treating!

Ticket pricing is all-inclusive, with no hidden fees at checkout. Students (K–12 and college) are $15, and children 6 and under are free, though a ticket is still required. Get tickets at mvso.org or call 937-530-0515.

Accessible seating: wheelchair spaces with companion seats are available on the floor and in the orchestra. Call 937-530-0515 and we'll help you find the best seats for your entire group.

Tip: the box office opens at 2 PM and theater doors open at 2:30 PM. Park in the lot behind the building, directly off Belmonte Park N.

On October 31st, a timeless Dayton DIY Tradition returns to send off one of our favorite venues in style… THE DAYTON HALLOWEEN at Yellow Cab Tavern features a lineup full of Dayton’s finest bands, artists, and DJs, as well as Boston breakcore legend Lil Kevo 303 and Philadelphia slowgaze superstars HALLOWEEN!

No experience is necessary, all ages are welcome and you don’t need to bring a partner. The caller teaches all dances before they start. Live music at every dance. 
7:00 PM – Free lesson, all encouraged to come early
7:30 – 10:30 PM – Contra dancing

Band - Trillium plays music for Contradance and English Country Dance on traditional instruments: fiddle, acoustic piano. Most of the tunes they play are traditional, as well, and are played in multiple folk music worlds, such as Bluegrass, Old-Time, English Country Dance, Celtic, French Canadian. https://www.trilliumcontradanceband.com/home
Caller - Margaret Ann Goodman brings her great knowledge of teaching to the dance floor. She has a great repertoire of dances that she uses to pick the right dance for the right moment.

What is contra dancing?  Taken from https://www.sccdc.org/resources/what-is-contra-dancing/ which has more details and videos
Contra dancing is done in long lines of dancers rather than in groups of four couples forming a square. Many of the terms and movements are the same in both contra and square dancing, so if you remember anything from school or previous dancing, you’re already halfway there!
And don’t be surprised if a contra dance caller includes a square dance or two during the evening—sometimes we mix things up!
The footwork in contra dancing is very simple. Most of the time, you’re simply walking to the music, with a few easy steps and movements added along the way. The caller teaches each dance as you go, so you don’t need to know the dances ahead of time.

Feelin' Alright! A Celebration of Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs & Englishmen

November 6, 2026 | The Brightside | Dayton, OH | All Ages

Step back to 1970 and experience the raw, electrifying energy of Joe Cocker's legendary Mad Dogs & Englishmen Tour brought to life by some of Dayton's finest musicians.

Local powerhouse vocalist Matt Byanski leads this massive ensemble through the classic songs from the Deluxe soundtrack that accompanied the iconic 1971 concert film. Covering the invaluable role of the great Leon Russell, veteran Dayton rockers Nick Mitchell and Jimmy Rogers bring decades of stage experience to the guitar and keys.

True to the spirit of the original tour, this show goes big — featuring a 10-piece choir led by Sharon Lane, Kat Givens, Khrys Blank, and Vicki Brown alongside a roster of talented local singers. And just like Cocker's famous lineup, the band rolls with dual kit drummers Josh Johnson and Steve Phelps, anchored by percussionist Erich Reith.

This is more than a tribute. It's a full-scale revival of one of rock's greatest live moments, performed by a community of musicians who live for this music.

He's gonna need a little help from his friends — and they showed up.
