AT THE

'Hardt OF THE PERFORMING ARTS

To say our 16th season was incredible would be an understatement. While last season was memorable, I know the best is yet to come. I firmly believe our 17th season will be an extraordinary season offered at the Falany Performing Arts Center.

With our growing list of performances in two venues, each of you will find a performance that speaks to you. I am delighted that The Drifters will return to Flint Hall this season. We also have many exciting tribute shows, bluegrass artists, jazz performers and renowned classical musicians. Of course, our Reinhardt University students will showcase their incredible talent in several shows throughout the season.

This year, the new Reinhardt Theater is set to open, continuing the growing vision of Arts Around the Lake. I know my excitement to have the new theater opened is shared by so many. I hope you will attend multiple performances at this new facility as it promises to be a wonderful addition to Reinhardt University.

As we start the 2018-19 season, all of us at the Falany Performing Arts Center and Reinhardt University thank you for your friendship and support. We look forward to seeing you at our first event on Sept. 7 and for many more events through May 2019.

Our past seasons in Flint Hall at the Falany have seen exquisite performances from artists such as Doc Severinsen, The Manhattan Transfer and The Celtic Tenors. I thoroughly enjoy hosting the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra each year, proving to always be one of our best concerts of the season.

Chanticleer

Called "the world’s reigning male chorus" by The New Yorker, the San Francisco-based GRAMMY®-winning ensemble Chanticleer will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2018. Praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for its “tonal luxuriance and crisply etched clarity,” Chanticleer is known around the world as “an orchestra of voices” for its seamless blend of 12 male voices ranging from soprano to bass and its original interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz and popular genres, as well as contemporary composition. Since Chanticleer began releasing recordings in 1981, the group has sold well over a million albums and won two GRAMMY® awards. Chanticleer’s recordings are distributed by Chanticleer Records, Naxos, ArkivMusic, Amazon and iTunes, among others, and are available on Chanticleer’s website www.chanticleer.org.

The Gina Clowes Project

PERFORMANCES

Gina Clowes’ innovative and unique musicianship and songwriting, although based in traditional music modalities, breaks free from the assumed constructs and makes a new musical statement that's influenced by emotion, is played with the highest skill and expresses an enormous verve and vitality. With a stamp from Bluegrass Today as “absurdly talented,” her new album, “True Colors,” touts two chart toppers. “True Colors” was released in September 2017 and debuted at No. 13 on Bluegrass Billboard chart. Gina was featured on the cover of Banjo Newsletter in the December 2017 issue, along with her original tune “Saylor's Creek.”

Friday, Sept. 7, 2018, 7:30 p.m. Adults: $20-$25, Seniors: $15-$20, Children: $5-$10

The Drifters

One of Rock & Roll’s founding vocal groups is once again touring the U.S. under the auspices of their original management team. From their inception in the early 1950s and up until recently, the Drifters has a symbiotic relationship with Rock & Roll legend George Treadwell, who discovered and managed such famous artists as Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn and Nina Simone. The Treadwell Family was there when the original Drifters formed and was responsible for guiding their career through 20 years of uninterrupted

hits that has made them the second most successful recording artists of all time, according to Billboard magazine. They were the first musical group to include string instruments into R&B with “There Goes My Baby.” They were the first musical group to sell 2 million records with their pop classic, “Up On The Roof.” They were among the first African-American vocal groups to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame along with fellow inductees the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Supremes.

Tribute to the King: Gospel & Hits FEATURING TRAVIS LEDOYT

Travis LeDoyt has been called “World’s Best Young Elvis,” and there are five good reasons why. He looks like Elvis. He sings like Elvis. He moves like Elvis. His personality and mannerisms both on and off stage are strikingly similar to Elvis. And, he sells out nearly every show. To those people who think they have seen it all when it comes to Elvis tribute acts, this is the one that makes them do a double take. There is simply no way to describe Travis and his performance except unbelievable. Travis flawlessly captures the essence of Elvis in his prime, and restricts his shows to the hits and ambience of 1954-1964. Utilizing a three-piece band featuring guitar, bass and drums (augmented with backing tracks for songs that require extra orchestration), Travis takes his audience back to the fun and excitement of an early 1960s Elvis concert. For those who missed seeing an Elvis concert during those years, it is a chance to relive the excitement.

This all changes, however, on Christmas Eve, when a mysterious train visits Billy in the middle of the night, promising to take him and a group of other lucky children to the North Pole for a visit with Santa.
