Reservations must be received by Tuesday

On Friday, Aug.28, the Salisbury Symphony hosts “CABARET: Stars Shine for the Symphony” in the Messinger Room of the Rowan Museum.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m.; the show begins at 8. Tickets are $50 per person, which includes the show and an hors d’oeuvres buffet by Buttercup Catering, including wine, beer, and the signature “Cabaret Cooler.”

The show promises to be a real treat with Matthew Brown on piano, accompanying popular singers Kent Bernhardt, John Brincefield and Robert Van Geons.

Symphony maestro David Hagy will lend his vocal talents and Buddy Farnan has promised to reprise his “chapeau-graphy” routine as well as a surprise skit. As happened last year, there will be a surprise entertainer who will begin the show, so don’t be late.

Board members John Brincefield and Jordan Warren are hosting the event as a fundraiser to help pay for this year’s annual visit by the North Carolina Symphony when it presents concerts for Rowan County fifth graders. As a result, a significant portion of the ticket price is tax-deductible.

Tickets can be purchased at salisburysymphony.org. Reservations must be received by Aug. 25 to guarantee a seat. For more information, contact the Salisbury Symphony at 704-637-4314, or ljones@catawba.edu
