Friday
From his unique roots developing as an Italian musician in love with American country and bluegrass as well as the music of his native country, Beppe Gambetta has travelled the world to dazzle and charm music enthusiasts everywhere. Beppe’s musical journey is one of light heart and curiosity whose destination is not totally defined because it is beautiful to find ourselves where we never would expect to be.
Musical legend Dan Crary is a
master of the guitar and one of the few artists whose work transcends
boundaries of style and genre. Dan’s versatility prevails as his music
ranges from Mozart to Anglo-American fiddle tunes to moody, evocative
original compositions. “Jammed If I Do,” with guests Tony Rice, Doc Watson,
Norman Blake, and Beppe Gambetta, was hailed as one of the decade’s great
gatherings of guitarists, and his albums have garnered awards and rave
reviews.

Tues
Arlo Guthrie, born with a guitar in one hand and a harmonica in the other, gave his first public performance at age 13 and quickly became involved in the music that was shaping the world during the 1960s. The release of “Alice's Restaurant” helped foster a new commitment among the '60s generation to social consciousness and activism. In addition to playing the piano, six and twelve-string guitar, harmonica and a dozen other instruments, Arlo is a natural-born storyteller, whose tales and anecdotes figure prominently in his performances.

The Marcus Roberts Trio’s imagination and quick musical reflexes project a style that is powerful, rhythmic, and free. Traditionally the piano is the focus of jazz trios, yet Roberts prefers all musicians share equally in shaping the music by changing its tempo, mood, texture, or form with musical cues. Roland Guerin and Jason Marsalis possess immense talent both individually and as a unit. Roberts’ highly innovative piano style as well as his philosophy of jazz improvisation merges his love for great music with his creative imagination to create a thoroughly modern sound.

LVPAC Spring Gala.
Pulling out all the stops for an evening of first-class entertainment, Tommy Tune and the Manhattan Rhythm Kings will fill the Bankhead Theater with the smooth musical sound you’ve always loved. With the depth of his creative expression it’s not surprising that Tommy received the highest honor for Artistic Achievement, The National Medal of Arts. In addition to singing, dancing, and acting, Tommy has garnered nine Tony Awards for Broadway musicals such as The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine, and Nine. On his unique talents as a director, choreographer, singer, dancer and actor, the New York Times has proclaimed, “Mr. Tune has reshuffled the elements of the traditional Broadway musical into state of the art.” In addition to a show-stopping performance, the gala evening, a fundraiser for LVPAC, will feature complimentary wine, sumptuous desserts and coffee at a festive reception in the theater lobby immediately following the performance. We hope you will join us for an exciting evening to remember.
