SUMMARY:The Bronx Wanderers
DESCRIPTION:What comes to mind when a father\, his two sons\, and their multi-talented Vegas pals get together and create a show? For starters\, you can say a diverse recipe of hilarious personal stories\, a vast repertoire of songs through multiple decades and genres\, and one family’s journey together through life and music. The Bronx Wanderers pride themselves on being one of the only shows able to entertain grandparents\, their children\, and the grandchildren all in one sweeping musical tour de force. How do they accomplish this? Well\, the generation gap between the band members (30+ years) forces them to satisfy themselves musically\, which in turn satisfies each and every audience they’ve encountered. The chemistry and energy they exert show after show proves they are still having the best time together on stage and you can tell they perform each show like it’s their first or last.\nThe show’s founder and patriarch\, Yo’ Vinny\, takes you on a musical journey through his illustrious career in the record business while working for Lifesong and Columbia Records since he was 17 years old. He’s worked with too many artists to mention\, but what he says in the show is “each song you hear tonight\, is someone I’ve either had the pleasure to produce\, sing back up for\, or worked with in the record industry during my 30 year career.” For instance\, you’ll hear songs by Dion and The Belmonts\, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons\, Billy Joel\, The Animals\, Queen\, and even an artist or two from today’s generation. As they say in the band and in countless reviews\, regardless of how old you are coming to the show\, everyone leaves feeling like they’re 20 years old.\nThe Bronx Wanderers have been going strong for over 16 years and have amassed many accolades such as touring the entire country headlining festivals\, PACs\, and casinos\, securing a permanent residency in Las Vegas from 2016 to the present\, filling in for Frankie Valli in Dubai\, being the first and only act to have opened for Tony Orlando and Danny Aiello\, backing Dean Martin’s daughter\, Deana\, for multiple shows\, performing the national anthem for the NY Rangers at Madison Square Garden and the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas\, and still managing to have time to volunteer and do charity benefits for the Win-Win Charity Organization\, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital\, and multiple Veteran’s and Armed Forces charities and galas.\nAs Yo’ Vinny always said to his sons “work hard and do well for others\, and success will follow.” Well\, it appears it certainly has and he was right. In the first two years alone of their Las Vegas residency\, The Bronx Wanderers are a top ten show on Trip Advisor\, received the “People’s Choice” Award from Vegas.com\, received a 5 star Yelp Award\, received the Bronze Award for “Best New Show” their first year (coming in 3rd behind Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys)\, and got nominated in 7 other categories in their sophomore year.\nHis two sons are no strangers to their own levels of success. His younger son\, Nick\, had the opportunity to drum and perform for Frankie Valli with the Chicago Jersey Boys cast and was even offered a role in Blue Man Group (but his father and brother just couldn’t let him go.) The older son\, Vin A.\, who is the music director and producer for the group\, is an accomplished songwriter and arranger\, who recently got to open for Bon Jovi at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in front of 18\,000 people with his original music.\nThe Bronx Wanderers certainly has an interesting\, unique dynamic and has proven to be a long-lasting success in the ever changing entertainment business. They give the credit to their loyal fans and devoted followers\, some of which have been with them since the beginning and have had the opportunity to watch the boys grow from 14 and 11 years old\, to the seasoned professionals they’ve become today. The boys give the credit to their “Daddy-O” (and mother\, Carol) for holding it all together through the good times and the “not so easy\,” and the humble father now says in the show “I used to carry them\, but nowadays\, they are carrying me and I couldn’t be more proud.”

SUMMARY:January Classical Concert - Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky
DESCRIPTION:In January 2027\, The Villages Philharmonic will present an extraordinary program featuring two great masterpieces of the Russian musical tradition. We are honored to welcome guest soloists trumpeter John De Paola and pianist Antonio Pompa-Baldi for Dmitri Shostakovich’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra\, a work of remarkable brilliance\, energy\, and virtuosity. The program will be complemented by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.4 in F minor\, one of the composer’s most powerful and deeply expressive symphonies\, filled with dramatic intensity\, emotional depth\, and unforgettable melodies. It will be an evening celebrating two monumental composers and the extraordinary power of orchestral music.  \nBased in Florida’s friendliest hometown\, “The Villages Philharmonic” is a professional Orchestra presenting the highest possible standard for excellence in musical performance since 2003. \nUnder the musical direction of acclaimed Conductor Pasquale Valerio\, the orchestra has grown in stature while enriching and shaping cultural life. The orchestra presents musical masterpieces to nourish the hearts\, souls and minds of local music patrons. \nMost members live in the Orlando area but we have regular members who come from as far afield as Jacksonville\, Tampa\, Daytona and St. Petersburg. The Philharmonic gives 13-15 concerts per year and so we don’t provide full time employment for any of the players. Our players are comprised of resident and international artists who collaborate with symphonic and operatic companies at large. Although most orchestra members are not Villagers\, there are two professional orchestra members who are Village residents and there are six amateurs who train each Saturday so that they can meet the standards required to play with the Philharmonic.

SUMMARY:The Pirates of Penzance
DESCRIPTION:This New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players production is your chance to get carried away by Pirates.

SUMMARY:Chris Botti
DESCRIPTION:GRAMMY-winning trumpeter Chris Botti has been one of the most popular instrumentalists in the world for nearly three decades; he’s collaborated with some of the biggest superstars on the planet\, including Sting\, Paul Simon\, Barbra Streisand\, Lady Gaga\, Tony Bennett\, Frank Sinatra\, Aretha Franklin\, Bette Midler\, Joni Mitchell\, Steven Tyler\, Andrea Bocelli\, Herbie Hancock\, Yo-Yo Ma\, and others; he’s topped the jazz charts with numerous albums\, earned multiple Gold and Platinum records\, performed with symphony orchestras and on prestigious stages from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House.\nIn short\, Chris Botti really needs no introduction. Yet with his Blue Note Records debut\, he’s offering one anyway. Vol.1 is in many ways a fresh start for the trumpeter. Having successfully crossed over from jazz renown to pop stardom\, Botti’s first album in more than a decade finds him crossing back\, with a small group project focused on acoustic jazz and classic standards.\n“I turned 60 in 2022\, at a time that seemed like a restart for so many things in the world\,” Botti says. “I wanted to strip away all the orchestral arrangements and special guests and focus more on my playing\, the playing of my band\, and these jazz classics that we always love playing on stage.”\nWhile Botti could boast of the major names with whom he’s shared stages\, this project allows him to share his enthusiasm for the jazz greats past and present that excite him – his conversation is peppered with references to everyone from Miles Davis to Keith Jarrett to Pat Metheny to Brad Mehldau. He points to landmark albums like Davis’ Kind of Blue\, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman\, or Metheny’s duo outing with Charlie Haden\, Beyond the Missouri Sky as models for the kind of “lifestyle” music he set out to make – music that is exquisite on its own but can also set the scene for a coffee shop or hotel lounge\, instantly generating a sophisticated mood.\nOf course\, Botti couldn’t have found a more ideal home for this artistic rebirth. Blue Note has been a standard-bearer of jazz throughout its storied history\, and the trumpeter found a receptive partner in label president Don Was. “Anyone that’s lucky enough to say they’re on Blue Note Records should be pinching themselves\,” Botti says. “It’s a fantastic honor. I had great runs on Verve and Columbia\, so it’s amazing to now arrive on the most famous traditional jazz record label.”\nNot that Vol. 1 is a complete about-face – longtime fans will immediately recognize Botti’s glowing tone and regal melodicism\, as well as his flair for investing the narrative of a song with high drama and vibrant emotion. “There’s a cinematic quality that I like to hear in music\, and that I’ve found that audiences really love\,” he says. “The essence of that remains on this album. It’s paramount to me that there is incredible beauty and elegance to all of the performances and the way they’re recorded.”\nBotti has assembled a stellar group of collaborators to achieve that blend of beauty and elegance for the album. The album was produced by the legendary David Foster\, whose staggering list of credits includes three Beatles\, Michael Jackson\, Barbra Streisand\, Michael Bublé\, Diana Krall\, Mariah Carey\, Madonna\, Herbie Hancock\, Aretha Franklin\, Dolly Parton and countless others.\n“David commands so much respect from the musicians that he didn’t have to say much\, but he would navigate the session in a very subtle way\,” says Botti of the producer\, who also contributed the lush\, moving piano intro to “Danny Boy” that sets the tone for the album.\nBotti has enjoyed a long collaboration with pianist Taylor Eigsti\, while bassist Zach Moses\, keyboardist Julian Pollack\, and saxophonist Chad Lefkowitz-Brown are all members of his regular touring band. Veteran drummer Vinnie Colaiuta rounds out the core band.\nThey’re joined by a number of excellent musicians\, including Israeli guitarist Gilad Hekselman\, whose atmospheric\, cascading lines grace the Rodgers & Hart classic “Bewitched\, Bothered and Bewildered”; classical violinist Joshua Bell\, who brings a striking passion to Botti’s stark rendition of “My Funny Valentine”; Uruguayan-born guitarist Leonardo Amuedo\, whose years in Brazil are reflected in his graceful soloing on Henry Mancini’s “Two for the Road” and the bossa nova feel he brings to “Time On My Hands”; pianist Esteban Castro\, whose delicate restraint belies his youth on “Old Folks”; and singer-songwriter John Splithoff\, who contributes and performs his romantic song “Paris.”\nAbove all\, it’s Botti’s clarion\, heart wrenching trumpet that seizes he spotlight throughout Vol. 1. From the way he sings the yearning melody of “Danny Boy” to the keening\, airy melancholy of his Harmon mute playing on Miles Davis’ “Blue In Green”; the hushed tenderness he brings to Coldplay’s “Fix You” or his shimmering flurries on “Someday My Prince Will Come;” Botti leaves no doubt of his mastery or his ability to speak directly from the soul of the instrument.\nThe title of Vol. 1 implies a new beginning\, but perhaps even more promising is the fact that it also hints at a Vol. 2 – and beyond. “I’m so looking forward to that possibility\,” Botti concludes.

SUMMARY:Chanticleer
DESCRIPTION:Known around the world for its eclectic repertoire and dazzling virtuosity\, the Grammy Award-winning vocal ensemble Chanticleer – under the leadership of Music Director Tim Keeler – has been hailed by the Boston Globe as “breathtaking in its accuracy of intonation\, purity of blend\, of color and swagger of style.” Founded in San Francisco in 1978 by singer and musicologist Louis Botto\, Chanticleer quickly took its place as one of the most prolific recording and touring ensembles in the world\, an “orchestra of voices” performing thousands of live concerts and selling more than one million recordings. \nRooted in the Renaissance\, Chanticleer’s repertoire has expanded to include a wide range of classical\, gospel\, jazz and popular music\, and the group performs its beloved “A Chanticleer Christmas” program on tour every December. A new Christmas album\, Joy to the World\, will be released in Fall 2025.

The ensemble has dedicated much of its vast recording catalogue to these commissions\, garnering Grammy Awards for its recordings of Sir John Tavener’s Lamentations & Praises and the ambitious collection of commissioned works entitled Colors of Love. Chanticleer’s 2002 album Our American Journey was inducted into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2025. The group is the recipient of Chorus America’s Dale Warland Commission Award and the Chorus America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming. Chanticleer’s Music Director Emeritus\, Joseph H. Jennings\, received the Brazeal Wayne Dennard Award for his contribution to the African American choral tradition during his 25-year tenure as both singer and Music Director. \nChanticleer – named for the “clear-singing” rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales – was named Ensemble of the Year by Musical America in 2008 and inducted into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame. The group’s award-winning education programs were recognized with the 2010 Chorus America Education Outreach Award\, and have engaged tens of thousands of students since the ensemble began.

Our players are comprised of resident and international artists who collaborate with symphonic and operatic companies at large. Although most orchestra members are not Villagers\, there are two professional orchestra members who are Village residents and there are six amateurs who train each Saturday so that they can meet the standards required to play with the Philharmonic.
