Experience THE PERFORMING ARTS.

This year, we start our 16th season at the Falany Performing Arts Center and I am excited to share it with you. Our past 15 seasons have been phenomenal, and I am thrilled to continue to be a part of your life by providing Reinhardt and the community the opportunity to experience the performing arts. As we begin this season, I am thankful for the continued support from Reinhardt, our Patrons, and you, our guest.

We have been fortunate to see incredible growth leading us to where we are today, presenting more than 65 performances from the Falany and the School of Performing Arts each season. I am delighted to say that with the Falany and the School of Performing Arts, our guests have the chance to enjoy live performing arts nearly every week of the academic calendar year.

The Falany has had many talented artists grace the stage, including The Manhattan Transfer and The Drifters. Artists are always impressed with the beauty of the Falany, Reinhardt and Waleska. This year, the Falany will be hosting Chanticleer and "Tuesdays with Morrie," starring Jamie Farr, as well as many more exquisite artists. I am confident that you will enjoy each performance you attend this season.

I hope you will continue to embrace The Falany Performing Arts Center, serving as your choice location to experience the performing arts. I look forward to seeing you at this season’s performances.

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.

Hotlanta Dixieland Jazz

The Black Market Trust is an American pop/ vocal jazz band whose current release "Just One of Those Things" combines the sounds of the great American crooners and vocal groups with the romantic Eastern European gypsy fire of jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Consisting of five world-class musicians who have traveled the globe recording and performing on the world’s biggest stages and with music’s most renowned artists, The Black Market Trust capitalize on their experience and pedigree. The band’s lead guitarist, Jeffrey Scott Radaich, gained notoriety for his technical prowess and musicality. He has been touted as one of the most innovative and influential American acoustic gypsy jazz guitarists today. With their first release, the band established themselves as leaders and innovators by combining pop “Brill Building” sensibilities with the traditional sound of Django Reinhardt’s Hot Club of France Quintet.

Hotlanta sets your feet firmly on Bourbon Street in Old New Orleans. You’ll experience every bit of the joy, energy, and humor of that early American Jazz called Dixieland. Songs from Fats Waller, Hoagy Carmichael, Louie Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, plus many old favorites like “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “Royal Garden Blues,” “South,” “Hard Hearted Hannah,” and “When The Saints Go Marchin’ In” are all part of Hotlanta’s musical treat.

More than your average Dog Show, The Olate Dogs will amaze and delight. They were the winning participants from Season 7 of America’s Got Talent, scooping up the $1,000,000 and headlining The Palazzo. Led by Richard Olate and his son Nicholas Olate, the Olate Dogs are a high-energy, fast-paced theatrical act filled with doggie friendly and amazing pet tricks. Richard Olate is from Chile, South America. He is the second youngest in a family of 22 children. Olate's family was very poor but his story is not a sad one. At age 12 he got a dog from the street and discovered a talent for dog training. There are many dogs roaming the streets in Chile, so guess what……? When he had put together a routine, he, with his mother’s help, booked his amateur act at schools and small circuses. He quickly got a regular performance schedule but needed more help, and his older brother joined him. They spent the next few years traveling with different circuses throughout South America, and in 1989 they premiered in the United States. Richard has appeared with his dogs in many television shows, commercials, and a movie. A true testament that no matter where you come from, hard work and determination makes dreams come true.

After all, God is the ultimate creator of great music.”

Some of her concerto repertoire performed with orchestra includes Beethoven's 3rd Piano Concerto, Grieg's Concerto in A minor, Liszt's Concerto in Eb, several performances of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy, and Haydn's Concerto in D Major.
