The theater was nearly full and the audience <br />was thrilled by this electric performance. The George Mauer jazz ensemble is coming in March. <br /> <br />January 23rd at 7:00 p.m. the ERAAA is cosponsoring with the Sherburne History Center an Artist Talk <br />on ''The Looting of the Iraq National Museum, a Curator's Perspective" by Cori Wegener of the <br />Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
