SANFORD — When winter settles in and cabin fever sets in, Sanford Performing Arts Center turns up the heat with a double-shot weekend of live shows on Saturday night and Sunday.

Seamlessly blending illusion, acrobatics, magic, and whimsy, MOMIX sends audiences flying down the rabbit hole in Moses Pendleton’s newest creation, ALICE, set to take the stage at Sanford Performing Arts Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 7. And on Sunday, Internationally acclaimed pianist Ilya Yakushev entertains with breathtaking power, lyrical beauty and moments of pure musical magic for a 3 p.m. show.

Inspired by Lewis Carroll’s classic "Alice in Wonderland," the show is a mind-bending adventure, as Alice encounters time-honored characters including the undulating Caterpillar, a lobster quadrille, frenzied
White Rabbits, a mad Queen of Hearts, and a variety of other surprises. Tickets are $35-$79.

Known for his brilliant interpretations of Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev and Beethoven, Yakushev has earned a reputation as one of the most electrifying performers of his generation. He blends impeccable artistry
with sheer virtuosity, making each performance an unforgettable experience. Tickets are $20-$35.
