Austin, Coleman & Doug Smith
"Bach to Rock"
Two extremely gifted, young, violinist brothers take you on a journey via their violins, performing classical, jazz, swing, rock, pop and ethnic music. These college student siblings are great role models for children of all ages. They are accompanied by their cousin PCA Roster Artist, Doug Smith on bass and Jim Waltich on piano. This educational performance will be an event remembered by all.

Dixieland All-Stars
The Multicultural History of America's Original Art Form
The musical contributions of immigrants to the United States from various countries are discussed. Dixieland and jazz are an amalgamation of the musical backgrounds of many diverse cultures. The make-up and functioning of a live six-piece Dixieland band will be explained.
Individual instruments will be demonstrated (usually trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bass, drums and banjo, guitar or piano). It will be shown that each member of the band must do his part to make the band function as a whole, similar to each member of a community doing his or her job to make society function for the good of all. The program is performance intensive and also encourages questions and discussions. Hopefully, this will foster support and participation in the Arts.
