The 5 Browns - classical music's first family of piano virtuosos, extend their individual and collective mastery of the piano and their command of classical repertoire of emotionally complex works by Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Chopin, Debussy, and Saint Saens. The first family of five siblings ever being accepted simultaneously to New York's Julliard School, the 5 Browns are an unprecedented concert attraction: a singular quintet of world-class concert pianists performing various ensemble combinations on five pianos dedicated to bringing classical music to the lives of people everywhere.

The King's Singers

The King's Singers
Friday, October 30, 2009

"Still unmatched for their musicality and sheer ability to entertain" (The London Times), The King's Singers have put forth the highest caliber of a cappella performance since the group's inception at King's College, Cambridge in 1968. Now comprised of David Hurley(counter tenor), Timothy Wayne-Wright(counter tenor), Paul Phoenix(tenor), Phillip Lawson(baritone), Christopher Gabbitas(baritone) and Stephen Connolly(bass), the King's Singers continue to be one of the most sought-after and critically acclaimed vocal ensembles in the world, widely celebrated for their manifold repertoire choices and deep commitment to new works.

Jim Witter

Jim Witter - The Piano Men
Saturday, November 14, 2009
Tickets – ($24, $20)

"The Piano Men" is a musical celebration of a decade we all fondly remember. The Seventies! The show is set entirely to the music of Billy Joel and Elton John, two of the icons of the period. Jim Witter is featured on the grand piano, along with his back up group of guitar, bass, flute/sax/electric keyboard and drums. Jim makes no attempt to mimic his heroes, rather use the familiar arrangements, and his phenomenal singing ability to evoke their music. Using a rear-projected screen and a visual presentation to take the audience spiritually back to the period he recalls, Witter shows us the headlines, the automobiles, the newsworthy people, the events, even the toys and their TV commercials.

Rockapella

A Rockapella Holiday
Tuesday, December 8, 2009
Tickets – ($32, $28)

Your eyes won't believe what your ears are experiencing: five guys, no instruments! Just jaw-dropping vocal dexterity that the New York Post calls pure magical talent. You remember Rockapella from the theme song "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?", and now these guys are the hippest, hottest a cappella group on tour today. Fun for all ages, the evening will include popular holiday songs, rock solid harmonies, passionate arrangements and boundless enthusiasm on stage and in the audience!

Kurt Bestor

This ever popular performer has performed to sell out crowds at the Stephens Performing Arts Center the past four years.

Solas

Since its birth in 1996, Solas has been loudly proclaimed as the most popular, influential and exciting Celtic band to ever emerge from the United States. Even before the release of its first Shanachie CD, the Boston Herald trumpeted the quartet as "the truly first great Irish band to arise from America," and the Irish Echo ranked Solas among the most "exciting bands anywhere in the world." Since then, the praise has only grown louder. The Philadelphia Inquirer said that they make "mind-blowing Irish folk music, maybe the world's best." The Internationally acclaimed super group has not only captured the hearts and ears of Irish music fans, but fans all around the globe with their blend of Celtic traditional, folk and country melodies, bluesy sometimes jazz-inspired improvisations and global rhythms.
