The Carnegie continues its popular Carnegie in Concert series with a lineup of classical standouts and of course a few returning favorites.
Under the direction of The Carnegie’s new Theatre Director, Maggie Perrino, the 2015-16 Carnegie in Concert series will also delight attendees with a selection of new styles, promising a season of one-night-only concerts that are sure to please.
The 2015-16 season kicks off in October with Mozart’s “The Marriage of Figaro” presented by The Carnegie and Kentucky Opera. In December, The Carnegie will screen the silent film, “Tess of the Storm Country” with accompaniment by acclaimed pianist Jeff Rapsis. Indiana University’s eleven member a cappella group Another Round (formerly known as Straight No Chaser) takes to the stage in March, and Buffalo Wabs & The Price Hill Hustle bring bluegrass to the Otto M.
