The Southern Crescent Chorale will present Arise, My Soul on
Saturday, March 3 at 8:00 p.m. at Spivey Hall. Located on the campus of
Clayton State University, Spivey Hall is a 400-seat, acoustically
superior performing arts venue that has presented the best in jazz and
classical music to metro Atlanta since 1991. Its celebrated concert
series receives regular national and international attention as one of
America's finest, and the hall's acoustics and design are routinely
lauded by patrons and performers.
Janice Folsom, founder and artistic
director of the Southern Crescent Chorale, stated: “The Chorale is
always thrilled to sing in this amazing venue. Our audience routinely
raves about the musical nuances that become so apparent in the
spectacular acoustical setting.”
The Chorale’s thirteenth
Spivey Hall appearance features magnificent choral classics including
works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Gjeilo, Rutter, and Clausen, as well as
familiar hymn arrangements about the soul. Accompanied by a
professional string quartet and Spivey Hall’s magnificent Albert
Schweitzer Memorial Organ, the Chorale will transport you with glorious
music.
Steve Shivers, the Chorale’s accompanist since 2009
and McDonough resident, will be featured in two outstanding pieces
entitled Dark Night of the Soul and Luminous Night of the Soul. In Dark
Night (2010), composed first, Ola Gjeilo wanted to place the chorus,
piano and string quartet on more or less equal footing rather than
writing for chorus with accompaniment. He also wanted to convey a sense
of the poem’s colorful, passionate spirituality. The chorus and
instruments work through contrasting passages, urgent seeking or serene
contemplation. Gjeilo describes Luminous Night (2012) as “the brighter,
sunnier sequel to Dark Night of the Soul.” Most of the text, composed
by Charles Anthony Silvestri, a frequent collaborator, uses the human
impulse toward artistic creation — choirs, silversmiths, poets, potters,
actors, authors — as evidence of divine inspiration (“You were the
Spirit of all that is art”).
Be sure to tune to WABE 90.1 FM
on Monday, February 26 at 11:00 p.m. for the Atlanta Music Scene program
in which excerpts from previous Southern Crescent Chorale Spivey
concerts will be featured.
Tickets for Arise, My Soul are $20.00
for adults and $10.00 for students. Purchase tickets by calling Spivey
Hall at 678-466-4200 or online at www.spiveyhall.org.

The High Museum of Art will host a Surreal College Night on Saturday, September 25, from 7 p.m. to midnight. Students and visitors will enjoy a night of live music, gallery viewing, a do-it-yourself workshop, drawing from a live model, and photos. All the activities are inspired by the museum’s newest exhibition, “Dali: The Late Work,” which focuses on Dali’s art after 1940, and features 115 works, including 40 paintings and a related group of drawings, prints and other Dalí ephemera.

· The Back Pockets are a carefree, eclectic, and theatrical group whose musical style is indie and folk. They believe in audience interaction and the beauty of being alive which is manifested in their music and performances. http://www.myspace.com/thebackpockets

In addition to “Dali” visitors can view “Signs of Life: Photographs by Peter Sekaer” the first major exhibition dedicated to the work of the Danish-born American photographer Peter Sekaer. Consisting of approximately 75 vintage gelatin silver prints, several of which have never been on public view, the works in the exhibition span the years 1935 through 1945 and document the effects of the Great Depression in several American cities.

44th Annual Roswell Arts Festival
September 18 and 19, 2010
The Tradition Continues…
This event helped establish and cement Roswell’s reputation as an arts community and it just keeps giving back to the community in so many ways.
The Event itself features fine arts and high quality original craft created by artists and artisans from throughout the Southeastern U.S. Musical Entertainment, Dance and an array of entertainment highlight the days.
A fun outing for the entire family …. But this festival is so much more. Sponsored by the Roswell Recreation Association, proceeds from the event benefit the recreational needs of the community. The Roswell Arts Festival has made financial contributions toward many of the parks and activities that Roswell has to offer its citizens today. Funds have been donated for the purchase of park land, buildings and furnishings of buildings, equipment, plans, matching funds to obtain grants or make purchases, and probably the most noticeable donation was the Sprayground that opened in 2009 at Riverside Park. The Sprayground was definitely a splashing success. But, it became apparent that shade would make the experience even more fun. So, the Roswell Recreation Association jumped right in (ok, make that waded right in) and provided the funds to erect shade, making the sprayground an even more enjoyable experience.
The terrific all volunteer Roswell Recreation Association makes it possible for all the funds raised from the Roswell Arts Festival to go for use in the Roswell Recreation and Parks Department. They invite you to come to Town Square on September 18 & 19, enjoy some incredible artwork, the ambiance of the Town Square and experience a wonderful community event.
A free shuttle will run from City Hall to the Historic Town Square each day of the event from 10 A.M. – 6 P.M.
An array of festive foods will be available from a variety of vendors tempting you with so many delicious treats!

Georgia Southern University's Performing Arts Center Announces 2010-2011 Season Schedule
Season ticket renewals will begin this week for the 2010-2011 season at Georgia Southern University’s Performing Arts Center which will feature a diverse blend of music, dance and dramatic performances including Stomp! and A Chorus Line.
“Fans of theatre and music have much to look forward to as we begin our new season,” said Performing Arts Center (PAC) Director Albert Pertalion. “We are thrilled to bring performers and performances that have electrified crowds around the world here to Statesboro, and we urge people to buy their tickets early to these in-demand shows.”
The season opens Friday, September 24 with the return of the Carolina Chocolate Drops. This string-band trio was such a hit when they performed at the PAC two years ago that audiences clamored to have them return.
Champions of the Dance, which is the stage version of the hit television series Dancing with the Stars, will “wow” audiences on October 8. Many of the same dancers and the same choreographer from the television series make up this stage performance complete with amazing costumes, sets, and lighting.
On November 5, Gershwin on Broadway will delight audiences. A pianist and two vocalists will perform some of George Gershwin’s most beloved classics from the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Christmas comes a little early to the Performing Arts Center on November 18 when vocalist John Berry performs. His rich baritone voice lends a quality to holiday selections that have made him an area favorite.
The percussion extravaganza Stomp! is guaranteed to be one of the hottest tickets of the season. This musical that originated in London has brought audiences to their feet around the globe. The cast takes ordinary - and extraordinary - objects and turns them into instruments during this enthralling show that has garnered rave reviews worldwide and is sure to do so when it is performed at the PAC March 8.
Tango Buenos Aeries brings the world’s most romantic, and seductive, dance to the PAC on March 24.
The season ends with the classic Broadway smash A Chorus Line on April 12. This musical about a New York audition has thrilled audiences for decades. Fans who want to see this show are encouraged to purchase their tickets early. Season ticket renewals will be on sale from August 10 through August 25. New season ticket subscriptions are available beginning August 31, and single tickets will go on sale September 14. For more information or to purchase tickets, please call the Performing Arts Center box office at 912-478-7999 or visit www.georgiasouthern.edu/pac.

Mark Your Calendars! The Cotton Pickin' Fair is Oct 3rd and 4th
Awards and accolades follow The Cotton Pickin’ Fair in Gay, GA. Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue recently announced that the Georgia Tourism Foundation selected The Cotton Pickin’ Fair as a Founding Producer of Distinction in the Georgia Made, Georgia Grown Creative Economies Initiative. Also, The Cotton Pickin’ Fair was again selected from over 500 regional events to represent the best of thirteen southeastern states as a Southeast Tourism Society Top Twenty Event.
Join us on October 3 & 4, 2009 in Gay, Georgia, on the old Gay Family Farm, a unique 1910 era venue where 300 skilled artisans from across the North America deliver the best fine pottery, weaving, sculpture, woodcarving, painting, jewelry, and other forms of innovative talent.
The Cotton Pickin’ Fair’s 100 year old buildings, regional southern food prepared right before your eyes, exciting entertainers on six rustic stages, and talented craftsmen and artists uniquely combine for a memorable family event. Many of your favorite artisans return to their usual locations, but new and exciting are our watch words… South Carolina Fiber Artist, Lynn Shore, knits her fashionable purses, shawls, and ponchos in brightly colored yarns, to produce the perfect accessory for a fall wardrobe. Sepia-tone photographs of rural cotton fields by Ron Rocz of Charleston, SC, evoke an image of an earlier era while Sisters, Sarah Erwin and Jennifer Garis, one from North Carolina, the other from the Washington state, have perfected their Grandmother’s jam and jelly recipes just for you.
Sit on a bale of hay or on a bench for awhile. Enjoy music, folk dancing, and Peter Hart’s lively marionettes. The Cotton Scale, originally used for weighing mule-drawn cotton wagons, is home to foot stomping blue grass music and the Hammermill Stage, once part of the cattle feed lot, hosts regional musicians, and dancers. Jeff Hicks will amaze you with dazzling magic tricks under a majestic White Oak Tree.
Arrive with an appetite and support the programs of more than 20 non-profit, civic-minded partner organizations, churches and schools. They bake, fry, broil, boil, steam, and stew delicious southern foods, for breakfast, lunch, and supper at The Cotton Pickin’ Fair.

Since 1998, the Bus has provided free hands-on programs to hundreds of high schools, colleges, Boys and Girls Clubs, music festivals, concerts, conventions and community organizations. Working together with some of the biggest names in music, including the Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Wyclef Jean and Natasha Bedingfield, the Lennon Bus encourages students to play music, write songs, engineer recording sessions and produce video projects using the latest audio, video, and live sound equipment.

UWG: Faculty Music Concert Celebrates A DAY
In the mood for a little music? The University of West Georgia will present its annual A DAY Music Faculty Concert on Monday, Oct. 13, at 8:15 p.m. in the Townsend Center for the Performing Arts.
A donor reception will be held before the concert in the Townsend Center at 7:30 p.m. The events are free and the community is invited to attend. Dr. Kevin Hibbard, chair and professor of music, is coordinating the event.
“The annual A DAY Music Faculty Concert showcases the spectacular talent of our faculty as a musical gift to the community,” said Hibbard. “We perform for A DAY to show our appreciation of the wonderful support that the community provides to the university.”
“The music faculty spends all day long teaching. They lead rehearsals, research, write and supervise student teachers, yet they still find time to keep their performance chops in tip top order. This sets a superb example for our students.”
This year’s concert will feature two new faculty: Peter Mueller, a trombonist who plays in the Macon Symphony, and Dr. Reverie Berger, a mezzo-soprano with extensive operatic credentials.
Performances for the 2008 concert include a piano duet performed by Jan Adams, instructor of piano, and Dr. Dawn McCord, assistant professor of music education; a violin and piano duet featuring Dr. Carol Gingerich, associate professor of music, and Dr. Elizabeth Kramer, assistant professor of music; and a trio led by Dr. Daniel Bakos, a jazz studies and music professor.
Also performing are Dr. Larry Frazier, a bass singer and professor of music; Melanie Fuller, an instructor of flute; Michael Lanier, instructor of trumpet, guest Terry Lowry, conductor and pianist.
The community is invited to enjoy the musical talents of West Georgia’s faculty and staff. UWG students benefit from scholarships obtained through the generosity of donors who contribute to the university’s annual A DAY campaign.
For more information regarding the A DAY for West Georgia campaign, contact the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at 678-839-6582. For more information on the 2008 A DAY Music Faculty Concert, call the Department of Music at 678-839-6516.
