Grab your green and head down to Pittsburgh’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade, enjoy “Marvin Gaye: A Tribute to the Prince of Soul,” or check out the Pittsburgh Indie Expo — here’s what to do this weekend.

Visual Art
In the juried group exhibit “In the Light of Your Shadow,” eight artists from the region explore the nature of perception: the way small changes in perspective can make a big difference. Among those contributing works in painting, photography, paper, fiber and more are Ashley Cecil, Clare Kambhu and José Santiago Pérez. The show at Bloomfield’s Tomayko Foundation, juried by Alyssa Velazquez, of the Carnegie Museum of Art, opens with a reception Fri., March 13, and continues through April 17.

Music
Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, known as “Resurrection,” is among the most revered of symphonic works. Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performs this towering piece for orchestra, choir and soloists this weekend with soprano Ying Fang, mezzo Kate Lindsey and the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh. Manfred Honeck conducts. Also on the program is Israeli composer Boris Pigovat’s “Yizkor,” which the PSO commissioned in memory of those killed in the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue attack. Heinz Hall hosts three performances, Fri., March 13, through Sun., March 15.

Theater
One actor, speaking entirely in rhyme, portrays a dozen characters in Irish playwright Ronán Noone’s award-winning stage thriller “The Smuggler,” making its Pittsburgh debut via PICT Classic Theater. The play centers on Tim Finnegan, an Irish immigrant in contemporary beach-town Massachusetts who loses his job and is cast into the island’s criminal underworld. Michael Patrick Trimm stars. There are eight performances at Carnegie Stage, in Carnegie, Fri., March 13, through March 22.

Festival
As it has for generations, the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day brings the Pittsburgh St. Patrick’s Day Parade Downtown. Rain or shine or whatever — it is March, after all — there’s a new pre-parade footrace, followed at 10 a.m. by marching bands, step dancers, military personnel and, why not, Punxsutawney Phil. Also new this year: The St. Paddy’s fest, one of the nation’s largest, will be livestreamed on several platforms, including YouTube.

Music
The Kelly Strayhorn Theater’s tradition of tribute concerts, which has honored the likes of Whitney Houston and Tina Turner, turns to Marvin Gaye. “Marvin Gaye: A Tribute to the Prince of Soul” features Pittsburgh musicians and vocalists led by music director Jerome Kirkland in an evening of Gaye’s legendary songs, from “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” to “What’s Going On” and “Let’s Get It On.” The show on Sat., March 14, is preceded by a VIP reception.

Words
Independent comics take the spotlight Sun., March 15, at the Pittsburgh Indie Expo. It’s a full day devoted to comics, graphic novels, animation and games at the Heinz History Center. Exhibitors include more than 90 comics creators, zine makers, game designers. There are also hands-on workshops and panel discussions about the art, practice, business and culture of comics. Admission is free.
