As world leaders discussed the intricacies of global finance here at the staid Group of 20 meetings, their spouses, led by first lady Michelle Obama, enjoyed a more urbane Friday afternoon in Pittsburgh, taking in a concert at a performing arts school and then touring the Andy Warhol Museum.
Obama, 15 other first ladies and six other spouses of leading financial officials enjoyed performances by Yo-Yo Ma, the world famous cellist, as well as by music students and other established musicians at the Pittsburgh Creative and Performing Arts School, a colorful modern building in the city's cultural district.
"The arts have the power to connect us to each other throughout nations like nothing else can," Obama said. She told 250 excited CAPA teenagers they could "literally say the whole world is watching you today."
Obama, paired with Marisa Leticia da Silva of Brazil and Carla Sarkozy of France, had previously looked in on some lessons at the arts magnet school, which has 800 full-time students in grades 6 through 12, studying a range of performing arts.
After a group photo, the spouses enjoyed performances from 13 CAPA students; Ma; Trisha Yearwood, the country singer and cookbook author; and Sara Bareilles, whose No. 1 hit "Love Song" is reportedly on heavy rotation on Obama's iPod.
Bareilles, who sang her hit single to wild applause, said that she was so nervous beforehand, she "was doing jumping jacks in the back." The song, Obama said, had "gotten me through many a day."

Something that accentuates her rather ample posterior?
