PBS 'Songs at the Center – LIVE!'

As part of the City of New Albany’s America 250 celebration, residents are invited to an afternoon of music, storytelling, and connection at the PBS concert series Songs at the Center – LIVE! on Sunday, August 16 from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Charleen & Charles Hinson Amphitheater. Reflecting the format of the nationally televised PBS series seen on more than 400 stations nationwide, the performance will celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday and Ohio’s contributions to America’s musical history by going beyond the music to share the stories and inspiration behind each song. The lineup includes series host and creator Eric Gnezda, internationally acclaimed violinist Arkadiy Gips, who twice toured with Madonna, and composer Erica Donahue, who will showcase some of New Albany’s finest musicians from the New Albany Symphony Orchestra alongside younger orchestra performers. Additional information, including a complete artist lineup, will be announced at a later date. Join us for a memorable concert celebrating creativity, community, and the spirit of America 250!
