2010-2011 Season kick-off gala

Sunday, September 12, 2010

Maestro Wiley at the keyboard will be joined by a stellar trio of principal professional musicians from the Roanoke Symphony playing flute, double bass, and drums.  This special one hour performance will present  favorites like the beloved medley from Richard Rodgers' "The Sound of Music" and "The King & I", Jerome Kern's "Showboat", Joplin's The Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag" from The Sting.  They will also feature the finale of George Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue," Summertime, and other popular favorites from Broadway and the Silver Screen.  The Hills of Alleghany County will be alive with the Sound of Music!

 

“Since 1953 the Alleghany Highlands Arts Council has taken great pride in the performing arts events we present to the residents of this community. The AHAC and its board of directors have built a reputation for commitment to the quality of life in an area already blessed by rich history, majestic natural beauty and friendly, caring people. One might ask what else we really need? The answer is - YOU. So we invite you to join us for this outstanding season. Everyone is welcome to participate because “arts4all” includes YOU.”

In this difficult economic year, the Arts Council is determined to persevere with its mission despite financial hardship. We also care about the families of our patrons and are striving to keep admission accessible. We hope you will consider making a tax-deductible contribution as an investment in the quality of life here in the Alleghany Highlands and the advancement of fine arts and culture in the world."

Tammy Scruggs, Executive Director
