What's on: Things to do across Northern Tasmania this weekend and next

Friends of the Library Launceston host free live music performances under the banner of 'Live at the Library' on the first and third Saturdays of each month, from 10.30am.

The next performer will be Denni Sulzberger, a Launceston musician and music educator. She has been honing her cello playing skills for over 20 years and is a member of the St Cecilia Chamber Orchestra. For this performance you can expect to hear a variety of styles and moods, and she hopes you leave feeling moved and soothed.

Come along and enjoy free live music and support local talent at the Launceston Library in Civic Square.

Alene Keiser, looking at her painting of a field streaked across with red horizontals, but also orange ones, and yellow, white, royal purple, and prussian blue, commented: "If you can't tell, I'm not afraid of colour."

The painting, Tulip Farm, is an extreme example of the George Town artist's work, which is on display at her latest exhibition, Off The Wall - an eclectic show of hue-brimming landscape scenes.

The Windsor Gallery show, which Keiser has collated from her past, ranges from oils depicting sunset playing on clouds to glowing hillside greenery and pastel beaches, which Keiser painted largely en plein air - or in the outdoors.

Off The Wall is showing at the Windsor Gallery, Riverside, until May 3.

April 20 and 21

No matter whether you're five or 95, Lego is something everyone can enjoy.

Brixhibition, Tasmania's annual Lego exhibition event, will run April 20 and 21, with its wide ranging display of cool, quirky and intricate Lego designs.

The long-running event raises money for local charities, asking the public to donate Lego to Lego clubs in schools and community centres, as well as tasking local schools with competing in competitions.

From April 24

In The Launceston Player's newest play, a writer is dragged into an interrogation room. Detectives say his fiction has been coming true - or, at least, a series of murders have an uncanny similarity to those in his short stories, which makes him chief suspect.

The Pillowman, a new staging coming to the Earl Arts Centre in April, is a work of grisly subject matter, revelations and, funnily enough, humour.

Written by British-Irish playwright Martin McDonagh - now a big screen titan with credits directing and writing Oscar-nominated films like In Bruges - the blackly comedic work is reviving with an all-local cast and crew, helmed by director Mitchell Langley.

The production of The Pillowman arrives at the Earl Arts Centre on April 24. More information and tickets can be found at the Theatre North website.
