The season will open on Friday, October 12, with a performance by the Sons of Serendip. They play a combination of contemporary music, but with a twist, and mix in a bit of Motown for good measure. The Sons of Serendip performed and took fourth place, on the 9th season of “America’s Got Talent.” They are sure to open the season in great style.
Next, on Monday, October 29, is Steinway artist Charlie Albright, who the Washington Post has said is “among the most gifted musicians of his generation, with a dazzling, natural keyboard affinity.” Classical and contemporary music lovers will be thrilled by this concert.
Warm up your winter and get nostalgic on Thursday, January 31, 2019, when Paul the Beatle visits Sterling, IL. Bob Halligan, Jr. presents a brilliant, one-man Beatlemania show, highlighting the career of Paul McCartney, both as a solo artist and with the Beatles. Not just a Beatles tribute show, Halligan takes it to a different level, by shining a light on the mastermind of McCartney. You don’t want to miss it.
In April, local favorite Home Free’s founder Chris Rupp brings his group, 7th Avenue to town. Chris and Home Free were Grand Prize winners in the Sing Off in 2013 and play to sold out audiences whenever they are in the area. Now hear Chris and his three co-singers in what he is calling his “Greatest Project.”
