James Garrett
Tribute to John Denver
Sunday, September 25, 2016 3:00 PM
We will kick off the season with a melodi-ous tribute to the late great John Denver. You will be fully Rocky Mountain High as you bliss out on James Garrett’s perform-ance of all the John Denver hits, including, Take Me Home Country Roads, Thank God
I’m a Country Boy, Annie’s Song, Back
Home Again, Sunshine on My Shoulders,
Leaving on a Jet Plane (yes, he wrote that!), and many more. This concert will “fill up
your senses!”
Alfonso Ponticelli and Swing Gitan
Sunday April 23, 2017 3:00 PM
Alfonso Ponticelli and Swing Gitan is
Chicago’s’ premier gypsy jazz band. If that term
doesn’t ring a bell, you’ll immediately recognize
the jubilant toe-tapping swing of acoustic
instruments playing in the 1930’s style of famous
guitarist Django Reinhardt. Alfonso Ponticelli is
virtuoso on a number of instruments: we won
the 1994 National Mountain Dulcimer
Championship and he plays both guitar and
banjo with the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra.
He’s also a flamenco guitarist who has studied in
Spain, but for the past 14 years, Alfonso has
focused on his gypsy jazz guitar playing with his
hot band, Swing Gitan. This is a homecoming
for Alfonso – he graduated from Forest View
High School!
Martha Carés
La Vie En Rose tribute to Edith Piaf Sunday, May 21, 2017 3:00 PM
We close our season with an amazing singer – Martha Carés. Martha trained as an opera singer, and then used that talent to tour the country for over 1000 performances at Christine in Phantom
of the Opera. Since then, she’s sung with the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Florida Grand Opera and the Grant Park Music Festival, and won the Grand Prize for the International Bel Canto Opera Competition. But she’s not just an opera singer, you’d recognize her voice from McDonald’s and United Airlines advertising campaigns. Best of all, Martha has a wonderful and intimate cabaret performance featuring the music of Edith Piaf, which she will bring to our stage for an emotionally luminous end to our season.
Guy Lombardo’s Royal Canadians
Sunday October 23, 2016 3:00 PM
Yes, we know that Guy won’t be there, but since 1989, Al Pierson (1972’s Illinois Teacher of the Year) has been leading this ensemble as it continues to tour the world, playing its book of great old tunes – Seems
Like Old Times, Boo Hoo, Coquette,
Sweethearts on Parade and Ain’t She Sweet, all written by Guy’s brother Carmen, along with other hits like Johnson Rag, Bye Bye Blues, and Enjoy Yourself. The band even knows and plays tunes less than 50 years old! We’re going to party like its New Year’s Eve in our auditorium when the band plays its most famous hit, Auld Lang Syne.
Chicago Harp Quartet
Sunday March 26, 2017 3:00 PM
In 2012, four of the best harpists in Chicago
decided to join forces as the Chicago Harp
Quartet. These four stunning musicians have
toured the country, including Carnegie Hall, the
Kennedy Center, and the Curtis Institute of
Music. They’re not just playing their own
arrangements of classical favorites, but also
partnering with cutting edge chamber music
performers and premiering new works written
especially for the Chicago Harp Quartet. This is
not pretty background music, but rather some of
the most interesting high level chamber music
that you will ever hear. We’re lucky to have
them – we’ve had to schedule this concert
carefully so as not to interfere with their work
with the Lyric Opera and other major Chicago
ensembles.
Enjoy live entertainment, close to home, at a great price. JOIN NOW!
