Washington-Wilkes Arts Foundation set to celebrate 'Month of Music' beginning with Acoustic Eidolon
This year, organizer Debbie Wells said, the Washington-Wilkes Arts Foundation announces a "Month of Music" beginning this weekend, rather than the usual one-weekend celebration. The month of music begins Friday at 7 p.m. with a concert by Acoustic Eidolon at the Bolton Lunceford Playhouse. "Come hear their contemporary instrumental music par excellence," Wells said, "offering an evening of warm emotional melodies." Tickets are available in advance for $12 at the Washington-Wilkes Chamber of Commerce and at Fievet Pharmacy. Tickets will also be available at the door the evening of the performance. The next event in the "Month of Music" is a free street dance the night before the Tour de Georgia stage start on Wednesday, April 23. In celebration of the Tour de Georgia bicycle race coming to Washington, the Foundation is sponsoring a street dance featuring the Augusta favorite "Playback Band featuring TuTu Devine." "Playback will be performing on The Square on April 22 beginning at 8 o'clock. The street dance is free and open to the public in honor of Washington's participation in the Tour de Georgia," Wells said. "Playback was voted best R&B band in Augusta by readers of Augusta Magazine for 2007, so we're expecting a wonderful musical event."
The "Month of Music" will be capped off Sunday April 27 with the visit by the Friendship Community Choir, a 35-member chorus from Athens. The group will visit Washington just prior to starting on a European tour. The concert will be at one of the downtown churches, Wells said.
