Come Fly with ME Portland Symphony Orchestra brings back another season of Pops!, showcasing popular hits across genres, from rock to Broadway. On November 3, the season kicks off two nights of the crooners with The Sinatra Swing. En- joy the songs of the Rat Pack, Bobby Darin, and more in the Merrill Audi- torium Concert Hall. “The music of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis are timeless, and I am so excited that our audiences will have the opportunity to hear these classic songs together with a full orchestra of our strings, brass, wind, and percussion players,” Executive Director Carolyn Nishon says. “It’s such a unique, immersive experience.” 773-6128. An international port of call like Portland is excited by a world of cul- ture. On October 18, the annual Harvest on the Harbor celebration hon- ors those roots with Different Roads, a culinary exploration of Maine’s immigrant influences. “Traditional Mexican cooking features a lot of intense flavors, ranging anywhere from sweet and tropical to spicy and savory,” says Taco Trio manager Allyssa Hanson. “Attendees at Different Roads could be greeted by the rich aroma of mole, a tra- ditional sauce made many different ways throughout Mexico. Our mole has over thirty ingredients, some of which include dried chilis, plantains, cinnamon, and even chocolate.” 450-1385.

But you won’t be dancing to “Go Your Own Way.” The songs are recrafted for a rave-style party—one you don’t want to miss. “We are both DJs who play disco, house, and techno, so we combine our passion for DJing and producing with our enthusiasm for Fleetwood Mac,” Roxanne Roll says. “We really welcome dressing up. Ste- vie [Nicks] is a state of mind, not a gender. It’s a four-hour set, and we don’t like to repeat tracks...” 956-6000.
