A season ticket, which includes five concerts, is $35. A ticket for an individual show at the door is $15 each, according to Mary Eherenman, LCCA board member. By buying a season ticket, a person can save $40.
If a person purchases an individual ticket at the door, and then decides they want a season ticket, the purchase of the single ticket can count toward the purchase of the season ticket, Eherenman said.
Children, 18 years old and younger, may attend free when accompanied by an adult member. A 10 percent discount is available for groups of 20 or more individuals.
In addition, LCCA subscription cards are honored at community concerts in Kendallville, Kokomo and LaPorte. Their concert schedules will be mailed with paid season tickets and at the first LCCA concert, Eherenman said.
"We do bring good music to the area, and we are a non-profit organization," she said.
All shows, except the Dec. 21 Christmas show, are at Rodeheaver Auditorium in Winona Lake. They start at 7:30 p.m. The Christmas show will be at the Warsaw Community High School Performing Arts Center.[[In-content Ad]]The Purdue University Purduettes are the first show, performing Sept. 6.
"It's the first time they have come to this community," Eherenman said.
According to information provided, the Purduettes "must credit their formation to a brief absence of the Purdue Varsity Glee Club. During World War II, members of the Glee Club were leaving for service so rapidly that the Glee Club schedule had to be curtailed. Al Stewart, the director of PMO, responded by forming an entertainment group of 13 young women who were chosen and organized as the Purduettes in 1942. As in factories across America, the women of Purdue were called upon to do 'a man's job.'"
Today, the Purduettes have more than 40 members and their own identity. They are handpicked for their vocal talents to represent Purdue. The Purduettes travel the country, performing an eclectic repertoire of jazz, country, pop, show tunes, classics and more.
"I saw them before in Fort Wayne," said Eherenman, "and they're very excellent. They're upbeat and classy."
The second show will be Oct. 11 with Dale Gonyea.
"At the age of 5," Gonyea says, "I got up very early one morning and, without a single lesson, spontaneously began playing the piano. My parents were astonished because we did not have a piano. They decided I needed therapy or music lessons. Therapy was expensive. They bought a piano and a career was born."
A University of Michigan music graduate, Gonyea uses the piano as a springboard for his unique humor.
Gonyea is an Emmy Award winner, a Clio nominee and a Grammy nominee. His song "Has Anybody Seen My Heart?" was featured in the HBO movie "The Girl Gets Moe" starring Tony Danza.
The third show is the Christmas show Dec. 21 with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic at 2 p.m. in the WCHS PAC.
Now performing in its 61st season, the orchestra has been a part of Fort Wayne's musical heritage continuously since its debut in October 1944. It expanded its concert programming in the 1945-46 season, presenting 14 programs with pianist William Kapell, violinist Yehudi Menuhin and tenor Mario Lanza, among the guest artists.
Today, the Philharmonic carries on its musical tradition under the direction of Edward Tchivzhel.
"It's a Christmas Pops concert," Eherenman said of the Dec. 21 show.
She said the Philharmonic has been with the LCCA for about the last 15-20 years.
Romanza Music will be the center of the April 18 show.
According to information provided, "Singing of love, conquest, betrayal and heartache, from a melting serenade to spine-tingling 'high C,' the tenor voice romances. Romance is the art of the tenor."
Philip Grant, Todd Jang and Fredrick Robert have been identified as "three talented, young, classically trained lyric tenors who have separately been delighting audiences across North America and Europe." Now together as Romanza, they have been wining people's hearts everywhere they perform. Their official launch concert sold out to a packed house of 1,500.
The 2008-09 season concludes May 16 with The Brett Family.
"A Brett Family Show is jam-packed with feel-good music, including classic favorites from '30s, '40s, '50s, '60s and '70s, all accompanied by a dance showcase. Whether it is country, gospel, rock 'n' roll, patriotic or a cappella, all the Bretts have dynamic solo voices that, when combined, create breath-taking world-class harmony, and a vocal sound that is second to none," according to information provided.
