SUMMARY:Béla Fleck
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Michael Cleveland\, Dominick Leslie\, Jeff Partin\, Mark Schatz\, & Jake Stargel \nOver the last four decades\, Béla Fleck has made a point of boldly going where no banjo player has gone before—a musical journey that has earned him 19 Grammy Awards in nine different fields\, including country\, pop\, jazz\, instrumental\, classical\, and world music. But his roots remain in bluegrass\, and that’s what he returns to with his celebrated project\, My Bluegrass Heart. \nThe Grammy Award-winning album\, My Bluegrass Heart\, is the third chapter of a trilogy beginning with the 1988 album\, Drive\, and continued in 1991 with The Bluegrass Sessions. Fleck’s band spotlights a multi-generational gamut of the best bluegrass players\, all sporting myriad Grammy Awards and nominations and IBMA awards. His collaborators on this program include fiddler Michael Cleveland\, mandolinist Dominick Leslie\, Jeff Partin on dobro\, bassist/multi-instrumentalist Mark Schatz\, and Jake Stargel on guitar. \nPart of American Panorama: Voices of a Nation at 250 \n“When it comes to just sheer blazing imagination and artistry\, then accept no substitutes. Béla Fleck and My Bluegrass Heart are it\, period.”—SavingCountryMusic.com

SUMMARY:Paragon Ragtime Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Step into the early 1900s\, when electricity dazzles\, cars roar to life\, airplanes lift off\, and vaudeville stars are born. Scott Joplin’s irresistible rhythms steal the spotlight in this lively\, one-of-a-kind concert experience in which conductor and pianist Rick Benjamin and his orchestra journey through the nation’s musical roots. Featuring gems by Joplin\, Joseph F. Lamb\, James Scott\, George Botsford\, May Aufderheide\, and Kerry Mills\, this popular slice of Americana brings the music of a bygone era close to home once again. \nPart of American Panorama: Voices of a Nation at 250 \n“Hearing this music\, performed in this setting\, by these people\, is not something you can capture on YouTube\, or even on an album played at home on a good stereo. The experience requires being in the room\, focusing on the stage and its surroundings with eyes\, ears\, and occasionally a tapping foot\, feeling it rawly and cementing it into memory.”—The Syncopated Times
