An Evening with George Winston
Friday, November 07, 2008 @ 8:00 PM: The State Theatre
Cost: $25
Category: Concert;Music;Nightlife
Self-described “rural fold piano” player George Winston was among the earliest and most successful proponents of the solo piano genre of instrumental music. Spending the bulk of his years growing up in Montana, many of his pieces evoke the essence of the seasons and reflect nature’s beauty. His music has the ability to bring the natural world to life. He has albums highlighting December, autumn, summer, and transition of winter into spring. George Wintson has described the music on Autumn as “Christmas carols for Halloween.” Autumn was well-reviewed in the Rolling Stone magazine and became the best-selling record in the Windham Hill catalog. His albums December and Winter into Spring both went platinum. One of his most popular albums is a musical tribute to the compositions for the Peanuts animations called Linus & Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaralidi. Outside of his piano compositions and performances, he plays blues harmonica and slack-key guitar. While he mainly plays these instruments in concert only, and not on recordings, both his harmonica and guitar playing can be heard on his album Remembrance: A Memorial Benefit, which was released shortly after the September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in the United States. Please join us in support of the State College Food Bank by bringing a donation of canned food to the concert. There will be collection baskets at the entrances.

The Cherry Orchard

Category: For All;Theater
A drama presented by the Penn State School of Theatre. Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, a comedic and bitter play about a magnificent house filled with foolish people. During the last years of Tsarist rule, this noble family is facing poverty and ruin due to a financial downturn, but nobody in the house knows how to begin to deal with the problem (save a friendly former servant, who is utterly ignored). Chekhov's brilliant satire ends with the noise of cutting crews destroying the famous cherry orchard that surrounds the estate.
