North Carolina's acoustic powerhouse Bowerbirds will play at the Spanish Moon on Monday, bringing their distinctive indie-folk sound with them. With strong lyrics and hook-heavy pop-folk melodies, this trio weaves a nest of sound as complex as the songbirds they take their name from. Their new CD, Upper Air, was released last year to some acclaim in the pickier indie circles, so don't miss this unique treat. 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 at spanishmoon.com.

Friday, the LSU Symphony Orchestra will hold a performance at the Shaver Theatre. Playing selections from Bach, Henri Dutilleux, and Gustav Mahler, it'll be a night of truly enjoyable classic music. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students. The American Red Cross will also set up an area for food and monetary donations to the Haitian earthquake zone in the lobby of the Shaver, so be prepared to give a little something extra. 8 p.m.
