What do three musician friends do for fun? They form a trio, of course.
Ellen Bottorff (piano), Annie Gnojek (flute) and Margaret Marco (oboe) have known each other for a decade, but they only recently formed Allegresse, a trio playing a wide-ranging repertoire of music.
In this week's Pulse Podcast the three Lawrence musicians with ties to KU talk about their new group, how their friendship affects their music and how they're going about getting the word out about themselves. The trio performs at 5 p.m. Sunday at Grace Episcopal Church, 701 S.W. Eighth St. in Topeka.
After that, hear about some of the other arts and entertainment events going on in Lawrence this weekend in our weekly Best Bets feature.

You might think the folks at Right Between the Ears are getting a little sad that President Bush's time in office is starting to wind down. After all, he's provided a lot of fodder for the radio comedy troupe.

But the group has high hopes that the next guy - or gal - will provide just as many gaffes as Bush.

Right Between the Ears is back at it again Saturday night, with shows at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. at Liberty Hall, 642 Mass.

In this week's Pulse Podcast, writer/producer Darrell Brogdon and cast member Kip Niven talk about their creative process, the group's new independence from Kansas Public Radio and the introduction of special guest star Jayni Carey of "Jayni's Kitchen" to this season's show.

After that, hear about some of the other events going on in Lawrence this weekend in our weekly Best Bets feature.
