    Is it premature to see Hall of Fame material in a
    guy who’s just releasing his first album? Not
    if that guy is Tony Jackson. To put it plainly,
    Jackson is the most talked about singer in
    Nashville today, and one of the most gift-
    ed singers ever to grace country music.

    Rolling Stone magazine cited Tony
    Jackson’s latest single, “Country Road,”
    naming it among the ‘10 Best Country
    and Americana Songs to Hear         Now’
    stating—“fiddle, harmonica, pedal steel

    Who are the Sons of the Pioneers and how can they call themselves “legends of Western music”? The      Performance begins at 7:30pm.
    short answer is that the Sons of the Pioneers singularly built a new genre and library of music that
    is an American original - one that has become synonymous with the American West and continues
    to enthrall generations of listeners worldwide.

    Since the early days of the film industry, the cowboy has been a favorite movie subject. When
    musical segments were added to broaden a movie’s interest, the “singing cowboy” was born and
    it created megastardom for people like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Tex Ritter, and Rex Allen. Enter
    the Sons of the Pioneers in 1934. They have accumulated more honors and awards than any
    other group or performer in Western music, including coveted awards from the Country Music
    Association and Academy of Country Music, just to name a couple. Today the Sons of the Pioneers
    are still mesmerizing long-time fans and creating new ones. They continue to play to sell-out crowds
    and standing ovations.

          Mozart: Concertone for Two Violins & Orchestra / Beethoven: Symphony No. 3, “Eroica”

     “I love Mozart’s music, and this is a special opportunity for me to play it alongside my colleague
     and friend. Michelle and I are a team on the first stand, and I hope the audience enjoys seeing us
     partner as soloists to bring alive the joy and life of this piece.” – Lauren Roth, TSO Concertmaster.

     Stretching boundaries of form, length, harmony, and perceived emotional content, Beethoven’s
     Symphony No. 3 (1803/1804) is considered an important landmark in the transition between the
     Classical period and Romantic era. Beethoven originally dedicated it to Napoleon Bonaparte, who
     he believed embodied the democratic ideals of the French Revolution… he withdrew the dedication.

         Doors open at 6:00pm. Preshow lecture begins at 6:30pm. Performance begins at 7:30pm.
