2011 Events

Close your eyes and you’re dancing at New York’s Rainbow Room on New Year’s Eve. The Guy Lombardo Orchestra is alive and well, and has been since 1977 when it was reorganized by Al Pierson. Ever since, the magical music has been heard around the world, including at the 55th Presidential Inaugural Ball. Now you’ll enjoy the old familiar Lombardo songs right here in New Bern.

Bluegrass? Jazz? Classical, old time, ragtime, or blues? If it’s Pianafiddle, the answer is YES! Beginning with a familiar tune, concert violinist and fiddler Adam DeGraff and jazz pianist Randy Morris improvise as they go, blending the traditional, the unwritten, and the spontaneous ranging from Bach to Bluegrass. They’ll mystify you as they blur stylistic lines, transcend musical genres and bring energy and a tasteful touch of humor to our stage.
