Wednesday Morning Musicale Announces its 100^th Anniversary Concert Series

“Come Home For Our 100^th!”

The Wednesday Morning Musicale has been a driving force in the Brownsville and Haywood County arts community throughout the years, and the Musicale is very excited to celebrate the 100^th anniversary of its founding. Started in 1908 by a group of visionaries who recognized the importance of the performing arts to the ongoing quality of life in our area, the Musicale has had an enormous impact on all our lives, and those of our predecessors.

Plans have been finalized to “bring home” many of the musicians who were raised in Brownsville, or spent part of their careers here, in a series of three concerts to be held during 2008. The Musicale is very pleased to announce the artists performing at its first concert on Sunday, April 6^th, at First Presbyterian Church: Tom Bridgewater, Luke Churchill, Jennifer Churchill Friedman, Keith Gambill, Jennifer Simmons Milligan, and Paul Sorrell.

Concerts on June 22^nd and October 12^th will feature additional artists familiar to many in this area: Jeff Binford, Boyd Richards, Ronnie Richards, Mike Castellaw, Diane Dupree Evans, Emily High Hartnett, Alice McClanahan, Anita High Myers, Charlie Overton, and Leah Payton Sandifer.

All concerts will begin at 3:00 p.m. Season tickets are $25.00/$5.00 students, and are available at INSOUTH Bank or from Musicale members. Single tickets for the April 6^th concert are also available for $10.00 each.

A 100^th anniversary commemorative program will be printed for the concert series, and limited advertisement space is still available. Contact Jo Matherne @ 779-1117 for more information about tickets or advertising opportunities.

Please join the Musicale as it celebrates this important milestone in the history of performing arts in Haywood County.
