Music Ménage features a chamber ensemble of select orchestra musicians and the return of multi-talented vocalists from the Opera Theatre at UNC Greensboro.

BRO Music Director Milton Crotts and Opera Theatre Director David Holley promise an evening of elegant opera music including selections from Mozart’s comedic masterpiece The Impresario, “Chi il bel sogno” from Puccini’s La Rondine, and “Morro, ma prima in grazia” from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera about the assassination of Swedish King Gustav III.  The program features iconic songs sung by the title characters of three beloved French operas: Bizet’s Carmen sings the defiant and challenging “Habanera”; Massenet’s Manon performs her celebratory “Gavotte”; Lakme and her servant girl Mallika sing the hauntingly beautiful “Flower Duet” by Leo Delibes. The emotional tenor aria “La Serenata”, the “Intermezzo” from Cavalleria Rusticana, and the “Meditation” from Thais are among the many other highlights of these intimate concerts.

The Thursday evening salon in the Governor’s graceful mountain retreat will be accompanied by wine and delectables. Fortunate attendees will have an opportunity to mingle with the gifted performers on both evenings. The Orchestra is delighted to extend its collaboration with the UNC Greensboro Opera Theatre as part of its ongoing mission to promote connections that enhance the musical experiences of WNC audiences. UNC Greensboro is renowned for its Opera Theatre program – UNCG productions have earned seven first-place awards in the National Opera Association’s annual competition and its graduates perform with celebrated opera companies across the country. Our exclusive performances help make these musical partnerships possible.

“If you’re looking for some sweet tunes to swaddle yourself in as they carry you gently into spring, look no further than Tina and Her Pony’s latest record Marigolds.” -Arend Lee Jessurun, Country Everwhere.com
On Marigolds — and on stage in support of the record — Collins is aided in her musical vision by a celebrated coterie of Western North Carolina musicians. Melissa Hyman plays electric bass and sings backup; Ryan Furstenberg plays electric guitar and also sings. (Hyman and Furstenberg are a married couple who also tour and record with their own popular group, The Moon and You.) The quartet is rounded out by Ross Montsinger, who’s also behind the drum kit for another WNC group, Dulci Ellenberger Band.
Collins’ life experiences — relocating, having relationships and groups start and eventually end — and the lessons she’s learned along the way find expression in Tina and Her Pony’s original songs. “The goal is to move people to emotion,” she says. She notes that several of the songs on Marigolds address the visceral emotion of grief. “But there are also songs of rebirth,” she adds, then sums up her perspective in three words: “Nothing is forever.”
These days, her lyrics have a less literal and more universal quality. “I’ve been working on saying more with fewer words,” she says.

With over 20 years of chart-topping success, the Boson rock band has cemented themselves as 21st-century hard rock titans. To date, they’ve accomplished a staggering 11 #1 singles at mainstream rock radio, including “Bulletproof,” “Unforgettable,” “When Legends Rise,” and “Under Your Scars,” all from the band’s most recent album. Additionally, they’ve enjoyed 20 Top 10 hits at the format–the most of any act since February 1999–as well as four Grammy nominations, and were named Billboard Music Award’s Rock Artist of the Year in 2001.

In 2023, the Massachusetts-bred quartet will take a victory lap with their eighth studio album Lighting Up the Sky, dropping one more classic album as they ascend into the celebratory portion of their career.
