The Hastings Arts Center will be hosting two concerts this weekend (May 14 & 15)
They are both wonderful events and very different from each other. If you need a warm place to go this week to stay inside during this incredible cold front, the Hastings Arts Center is where it’s at. “We promise we’ll have the heat on!”
Here are the details of each concert. Hope you can attend one or the other, or both
SATURDAY-MAY 14th–Annie Fitzgerald–Singer/Songwriter
7:30pm; $20 at the door; also purchase online at http://www.hastingsartscenter.org/upcoming-concerts.html
General seating; refreshments at intermission.
“Minnesota native, Singer-Songwriter Annie Fitzgerald has been noted for her ability to empathize with the listener with her remarkable knack for writing songs that stick with you long after they’ve last played. Combining the most beloved attributes of fellow Folk-Americana Singer-Songwriters like Patty Griffin and Shawn Colvin, Fitzgerald’s guitar-based songs and performances are a constant paradox of the striking and the subtle. Already heralded as an artist to watch by the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame with just two records released to date, she is making her mark with a simple perspective and an irresistible style. After 10 years living in NYC, she and her family have relocated back to her roots to be close to family as they raise their young son. They’re enjoying their new-found sense of Minnesota space and freedom, and a new album is in the works. The gifted musicians Mark Keating (http://www.markkeatingmusic.com/) and Ben Woolman (http://benwoolman.net/) will be joining Annie for an evening of original songs and some favorite covers.”
SUNDAY, MAY 15TH–3:00pm, The WolfGang will perform pieces by Mozart and Beethoven on period instruments. This is a VERY unique opportunity to hear these instruments played by these musicians! $15 suggested donation at the door. Please come to hear something that is not often heard in our community.
“Parents, this is a great opportunity to show your budding young musicians these unique instruments playing music that was specifically written for them at the time.”
