Juno nominees and winners of the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Award for Vocal Group of the Year, Amanda Walther and Sheila Carabine of Dala write and sing in harmony best described as angelic. These two best friends who met in high school music class have since released five albums and toured extensively across North America. Darlings of the Canadian music scene, Dala is bringing a fresh brand of acoustic pop music to the world. Drawing upon influences like The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, Dala writes songs that are both catchy and insightful. Amanda's ethereal soprano voice blends seamlessly with Sheila's velvety alto, creating the lush harmonies that have become their trademark. The sheer joy with which they perform is infectious, turning first-time listeners into instant fans. Dala is equally entertaining between songs, telling funny and down to earth stories that make every show unique. “We go to some emotional places in our music,” Walther says, “Humour serves as a relief from that, and a way to give the audience permission to laugh.” “The more spontaneous the dialogue between songs,” Carabine adds, “the better the performance and the more memorable the evening.”Previous Event

All recital performers participated in an audition and, based on their score, were invited to perform on this recital. You will hear violin, viola, cello, and piano performing works by Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi, and more.

An Invitation to the Party is based on Donna Walker-Kuhne's book “Invitation to the Party – Building Bridges to the Arts, Culture and Community.” This performance crushes stereotypical images of ballet by building bridges between diverse audiences through the works of nationally renowned African-American choreographers Christopher Huggins and Millicent Johnnie. Live music features Leon Anderson, Tallahassee Symphony Jazz and the Bethel AME Baptist Choir.

The Tallahassee Bach Parley performs music of the Baroque era (approx. 1600-1750) using period instruments. This recreates for our audiences the experience of hearing and seeing Baroque music as it may have been originally performed hundreds of years ago while generating a fresh sound immediately accessible to listeners today. The Bach Parley is made up of experienced musicians who are trained in historically informed performance, mainly local professional performers and teachers, and FSU faculty and students. Many Bach Parley musicians also perform in Baroque music groups around the country, such as in Atlanta, New York, Texas, and Boston.The word “parley” in French means discussion and a key element of Tallahassee Bach Parley concerts is the commentary offered by our music director to engage and enlighten our audience. These dialogues give the audience a historical background about the composers and their world and suggest what to listen for in the music. This entertaining and light-hearted educational commentary connects the audience with what the musicians are playing, lifts barriers between performers and listeners, and creates a relaxed concert atmosphere with an informed and engaged audience.Other programs include “Kids Go For B'roque,” a competition and honors concert featuring talented young musicians from the community performing the music of the Baroque period. We also run the Bach Parley String Academy and offer lessons on violin, viola, and cello as well as ukulele classes.

It's 1927, and silent stars Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a hot item but, behind the scenes, things aren't always as they appear on the big screen!  Lina's squeaky voice might be the end of her career in “talking pictures” without the help of a talented young actress to do the talking and singing for her.  The “Greatest Movie Musical of All Time” is faithfully and lovingly adapted for the stage. Each unforgettable scene, song and dance is accounted for, including the show-stopping title number, complete with an onstage rainstorm! Hilarious situations, snappy dialogue and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards make Singin' in the Rain the perfect entertainment for any fan of the golden age of movie musicals.

Share a delightful evening applauding the achievements of a group of talented young performers, culminating a five-week performing arts camp.  Featuring a cast of children that range from ages 7 to 16, this theatrical presentation is a family event that is sure to charm, as well as entertain.Suggested audience age range: Age 4 and above.
