Betsy's picks for Oct. 31:

The Macon Bar Association, Mercer University School of Law, and friends are sponsoring a Fundraiser for the Macon office of Georgia Legal Services featuring the renown Mercer Law Faculty band, Sue ‘n’ the Bastards.

Expect to hear Tom Petty, Lady Antebellum, Springsteen, Gillian Welch, Waylon, U2 and Jefferson Airplane in the eclectic playlist of this group whose day jobs involve “suing (or defending) the bastards.”

Proceeds help support the Macon Georgia Legal Services office, which focuses on preserving affordable housing, reducing poverty by helping clients retain or obtain financial benefits, keeping children in schools, and serving Spanish-speaking clients.

Six attorneys and three paralegals serve 23 counties with more than 136,000 potentially eligible clients.

Sue n’ the Bastards: Fundraiser for the Macon office of Georgia Legal Services, Friday, November 1, Cox Capitol Theatre, 382 2nd Street, Macon, 7:00-10:00 PM.

For tickets or more information, call (478) 257-6391or visit Ovations 365. Tickets $25 adults, $10 students.

The Mercer University Orchestra will present its second concert of the school year under the baton of Ward Stare in an exciting program featuring Suite Three of Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances and the lesser known Apollon Musagète by Stravinsky.

These two great works invoke the spirit of the past and the physical beauty of dance. Respighi, a noted musicologist in addition to being a famous composer, combines dance forms and baroque to create a charming neoclassical chamber work.

Stravinsky looks to the ancient Greek God Apollo and three of his muses to inspire a beautiful, pensive - and somewhat abstract - vision of the artistic spirit. Both pieces showcase the virtuosity and depth of the string orchestra.

Mercer University Orchestra: November 5, 2013, 7:30 PM, Fickling Hall, McCorkle Music Building, Mercer University.

For more information, call (478) 301-5470.
