4. Lost Panoramas and lecture at Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, 11/25

Merge your love of nature with art at this exhibit which shows photos chronicling the reversal of the Chicago River.

Visit www.naturemuseum.org for info.

5. "West Side Story" at Symphony Center, 11/25-26

The beloved tunes from this great musical are fabulous enough, but how about hearing one of the world's greatest orchestras give the songbook its own spin? While watching the film at the Symphony Center, you'll hear the Chicago Symphony Orchestra bring the songs to life as they happen onscreen. Visit www.cso.org for info.

6. Steve Aoki at Enclave, 11/25

Internationally massive electronic music producer Steve Aoki lands in this tight club for a surefire rager. His recent killer track with Tiesto, "Tornado," is sure to make an appearance, which might alone be worth the trip to River North. But trust me, the Dim Mak Records founder and industry vet will have more up his sleeve to put on a bangin' show. Check out www.enclavechicago.com for more info.
