The Bistro Off
Broadway Sponsors DCCA’s Scrap Arts Music
Darke County Center for the Arts recognizes Ted and Diana Abney, owners
of The Bistro Off Broadway, for their support of the arts in Darke
County. The Abney’s recently hosted a sold out Coffee House
Series performance of Cleveland blues guitarist Austin Walkin’ Cane and
are sponsoring the upcoming DCCA Artists Series performance of Canada’s
internationally-acclaimed invented instrument, power percussion company
Scrap Arts Music, at Henry St. Clair Memorial Hall in Greenville on
Saturday, March 14th. According to DCCA’s Artistic Director Keith
Rawlins, “The Abney’s are a great example of strong community
supporters; they not only strengthen downtown Greenville by providing a
full service restaurant but also enhance the quality of life in our
community by supporting the performing arts and making it possible for
DCCA to present high quality artists at a reasonable ticket
price.”
The artistic objective of Scrap Arts Music is to create an orchestra of
invented instruments created from materials collected in and around
their home base of Vancouver Canada, and to use these in original
performance-based works. In the spirit of “art music” they give
consideration to the visual dimension of musical performance. They take
SCRAP, transform it through the ARTS of sculpture and choreography, and
create original MUSIC performances for global audiences. Since 2001,
they have taken their interdisciplinary project around the world,
performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people, and offered
numerous workshops, educational performances, and concerts featuring
original choreographed sculptural music made from the materials around
them.
Tickets to the concert are $25, student tickets are $12.50, all seats
are reserved for the 8 p.m. performance. Tickets can be purchased
by contacting DCCA at 937-547-0908 or purchased at DCCA's office
located within Greenville Public Library, as well as online at
www.CenterForArts.net. Remaining tickets will also be available at the
door prior to the performance.
