Knight Theater: Tribute to Blues Brothers 2/11-2/12 Knight Theater
Original Tribute to the Blues Brothers
Saturday February 11, 2012 thru Sunday February 12, 2012
They're back – the legendary Original Tribute to the
Blues Brothers™. The show that started it all has
been selling out all over Europe these past few
years, but Jake and Elwood Blues know that
home is where the heart is... Last time they were
in the UK they smashed, crashed and crooned
their way through sell-out shows – no one does
it like these brothers and they’re back to show you just why they are the best...
Featuring original members from the West End run, the . . . (all new!!!) 'Original' show brings you all those amazing favorite moments and songs with a few new twists, a few new moves and a clean, freshly laundered suit...The boys are joined by the sassy Bluettes, three amazing ladies with voices to knock you clean off your perch... So don the sunglasses, dig out your best pork pie hat, and buff up those dancing shows, because the Blues Brothers cordially request your presence for a night of the best music, the best moves and the best comedy you’re likely to see this side of Chicago. Just don’t tell the Police, OK...?!

Composed in 1881 to commemorate the death of his friend and mentor, Nikolai Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky’s expansive Piano Trio is the only piece of its kind in the composer’s vast repertoire. It remains a “tour de force” known for its breathtaking lyricism and romantic first movement. Tchaikovsky himself initially thought strings and piano to be incompatible in small ensembles. His own work happily proved him wrong. More Information
Christopher Warren-Green unites the Charlotte Symphony with the North Carolina Dance Theatre and Opera Carolina in a unique program that highlights the passionate music of Tchaikovsky and his compelling personal story.
The Charlotte Symphony presents an extra-special retelling of Prokofiev’s popular orchestral adventure, Peter and the Wolf, featuring the members of PROJECT Trio. PROJECT Trio (flute, cello, and bass) has performed for more than 80,000 students across three continents. Blending their classical training with an eclectic taste in musical styles, PROJECT Trio has made an impact on audiences of all ages. "PROJECT Trio is packed with musicianship, joy, and surprise!" writes Downbeat Magazine.
