RESCHEDULED: Fair Lane Music Guild - CutTime Simfonica - February Fireworks

(RESCHEDULED from February 5, 2014, due to weather)

The Fair Lane Music Guild continues its 44th anniversary season at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 19 as the Guild welcomes CutTime Simfonica in performance.  The Guild continues its weeknight, café seating format, which provides the opportunity to offer dessert concerts.  Doors will open and service will begin one half hour prior to the concerts.


Come celebrate the life of the late Fair Lane Music Guild board member Paul Zitzewitz with the lively and intimate adventures of Rick Robinson, whose symphonic adaptations, personal compositions and club series are warming up classical music for new audiences. Inspired by 23 years with the DSO, Robinson has been called "a modern day Dvorak" for writing fully romantic music which blends with urban and folk styles to immediately appeal to everyone. Mr. CutTime brings back his string sextet plus a woodwind soloist for a magical mix of the familiar with the surprising. The program will include music of Mozart and Duke Ellington, Robinson's popular Pork 'n Beans and Mahleresque Idyll for solo English horn, and conclude with Enesco's gypsy Romanian Rhapsody No. 1


The concert is sponsored by the University of Michigan Credit Union and will include a dessert table sponsored by the Drusilla Farwell Foundation.  This activity is also funded in part by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the Michigan Humanities Council.


All Fair Lane Music Guild concerts are held at the Henry Ford Estate – Fair Lane.  (The Henry Ford Estate is currently closed for renovations, but thanks to the generosity of the Historic Ford Estates and the University of Michigan-Dearborn, the Guild is being allowed to use the Pool Room for these concerts.)  Tickets are $15/person, $14 for senior citizens and $9 for students.  Cash or check, please. Free lighted parking.  For more information about season tickets or individual concert ticket sales, please call the Fair Lane Music Guild at (313) 593-5330, or go to http://flmg.umd.umich.edu/
