Press release here:
The season begins on September 10th, with Wall to Wall Williams, an evening of the music of John Williams, by far the biggest name in movie score history. Mr. Williams composed the famous scores for Star Wars, Jurassic Park, the Indiana Jones and Harry Potter films, and dozens of others. The evening will be conducted by Rachael Worby, the acclaimed musical director of the Pasadena Pops, and she will lead the West Virginia Festival Orchestra.
In late-October Bravo will present a superb touring version of the classic show that began Rodgers & Hammerstein’s storied collaboration, Oklahoma!
November will bring the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players’ hilarious rendition of The Mikado.
In January of 2011 an exciting young trio of musicians, Time For Three, whose works combines classical, jazz, bluegrass, blues and other idioms together to form a dynamic confluence, will visit Asheville for an evening.
Then, in April 2011, the season will finish with a remarkable show by the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, who will perform a much-lauded piece that Mr. Jones choreographed based on the life of President Lincoln, to celebrate the bicentennial of his birth.
As one can tell from these brief descriptions, Bravo’s season will cover a lot of territory—breathtaking dance, operetta, musical theatre, and instrumental performance, and it will offer our community the opportunity to see definitively world-class performances, right here in Asheville.
