Pavlo is a dynamic composer, guitarist, and singer, who has created a unique style best described as "Mediterrean Music."    Mixing the sounds of Greek Bouzouki with Flamenco and Latin influences has proven a winning combination for this amazing Canadian performer.
With ever-increasing television and film credits, commissioned works and an invitation to perform for Prince Charles, Pavlo is fast blazing a path toward international superstardom!
"Red, Hot & Blue", the hit song and dance revue from Branson, Missouri, takes audiences on a nostalgic musical journey through the decades:  from the Raucous Ragtime Era to the Roaring 20's, from the Classic Jazz Era of the 1930's to the Swinging Sounds of the 40's and the Big Band Era, and from the Hilarious 50's to the Rockin' 60's and Disco 70's.  A Smorgasboard of Sounds sure to satisfy all the Tastes of Music!
Is it Bluegrass?  Is it Jazz?  Is it Classical, Ragtime, or Celtic?  If Pianafiddle is performing, the answer is Yes!
Starting with only the framework of familiar melody, pianist Lynn Wright and violinist/fiddler Adam DeGraff improvise as they go, blending the known and the unknown in gripping performances that make toes tap and hands clap!
Visit this show and witness The Silver Dollar Saloon meeting The Symphony!
The Celtic Tenors have established themselves as the most successful Classical Crossover artists
ever to come out of Ireland, and continue to re-invent the whole "Tenor" idiom.  They were invited to sing for President Clinton during a visit to Dublin Castle, and later in a private audience for Secretary General of The United Nations, Kofi Annan.  With album sales of over one million, The Celtic Tenors continue to dazzle audiences worldwide.
Starlight Dance Band has been performing for the citizens of Eastern North Carolina for over 20 years.  The group is dedicated to preserving the sound of the Big Band, along with the music of legends such as Basie, Ellington, Miller, Dorsey and many others.  Playing classic big band music and Jazz, Starlight Dance Band is a 16 piece band composed of rhythm, trumpets, trombones and saxaphones.  Hooray!  Big Band comes back to our concert series!
