Pop Music

The world wasn’t exactly clamoring for a Eurythmics reunion, but working together for the first time in a decade, Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox came through with an inviting new album, “Peace.” The British duo’s Staples Center show is one of only two scheduled U.S. dates. Like all their concerts, proceeds benefit Amnesty International and Greenpeace.

* Eurythmics, Staples Center, 1111 S. Figueroa St., Los Angeles, 8 p.m. $35 to $75. (877) 305-1111.

Dance

Fresh from winning a $30,000 Irvine Fellowship--and making the finals in an ongoing competition to perform in Paris next summer at a prestigious contemporary dance festival (specifically the Rencontres Choregraphiques Internationales de Seine-Saint-Denis)--Jacques Heim’s Diavolo Dance Theatre puts relationships on the couch in the brand new “Catapult: La Comedie Humaine.” Not exactly the analyst’s couch, however, but rather the kind of furniture you won’t find even at Ikea: flying couches, trampoline couches, inflatable couches, and couches shaped like naked bodies. Don’t expect any couch potatoes in this full-evening gymnastic spectacle--not with someone credited in the program for “ankle rigging.”

* “Catapult: La Comedie Humaine,” Diavolo Dance Theatre, Royce Hall, UCLA campus, Westwood, 8 p.m. $10 (students) to $30. (310) 825-2101.

Music

From Hungary, the touring Budapest Strings, a conductor-less, 16-member ensemble, plays on the Chamber Music in Historic Sites series at the downtown L.A. Park Plaza Hotel. The program lists Mozart’s “Eine kleine Nachtmusik,” a violin concerto by Haydn, Elgar’s Serenade for Strings, and Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite No. 3.

* Budapest Strings, Grand Ballroom of the Park Plaza Hotel, 607 S. Park View St., Los Angeles, 8 p.m. $25 to $35. (310) 954-4300.

FREEBIE: The West Los Angeles Symphony, Steven Kerstein, conductor, plays works by Prokofiev, Mozart and Haydn at Sinai Temple, 10400 Wilshire Blvd., at 8 p.m. (213) 931-0889.
