Trees in Deep Ellum hosts classic experience
The club scene is the natural place to revel in contrary and Trees will host a concert by the Orchestra of New Spain, including works by a 17th century Italian composer, who happens to be a woman. Contrarian Isabella Leonarda (shown), (September 1620 – 25 February 1704) entered the Collegio de Sant’Orsola, an Ursuline convent in Novara at the age of 16 where she created more than 200 compositions until her death at the age of 84.

Deep Ellum Art Walk 2011
Let’s get this out of the way before we tell you about one of our favorite art walks. After attending a meeting on the proposed steetscapes last week, I heard the same thing that’s said every time there is talk about renovations and restoration of Deep Ellum - “we don’t want to be Uptown!”.
Okay one last time with feeling, Deep Ellum will never be Uptown, Bishop Arts or the Miracle Mile. It will progress, it will mature and it will grow into what it is supposed to be as a major player in the Central Business District and we need to accept that it will never be what it was when we were standing in line in the 80’s. With nearby housing in Treemont, Munger Place, Bryan Place, Junius Heights, Lakewood and Lake Highlands filled with younger boomers and older Gen Xr’s who want good dining and shopping to go with our funk, music, preservation of Deep Ellum buildings and memories, change is inevitable, however we can be influential in how it plays out by supporting the businesses and staying involved.
