Two on Tap

This performance marks the creative collaboration of celebrated musical theatre performers (and long-time friends) Melissa Giattino and Ron DeStefano. Their combined love for the beautiful melodies from the early days of Broadway along with the classic precision of tap choreography takes center stage in this hit show. Revelling in the chemistry and artistry of iconic song-and-dance couples like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Melissa and Ron will show you why those famous dancing duos continue to impress.
Past Performances in the 2012-2013 Series
Sirens of the 60s
Sunday, September 30, 2012
4 p.m.
Sirens of the 60s celebrates the popular female singers of the sixties, including: Dionne Warwick, Nancy Sinatra, Mama Cass, and Barbra Streisand. Colleen Raye of Girl Singers of the Hit Parade, joined by her sister Debby O'Keefe and newcomer Katie Gearty, deliver dynamic vocals, laughs, fun facts, reminiscing, and sing-alongs.
Monroe Crossing
Saturday, November 24, 2012
7:30 p.m.
Name in honor of Bill Monroe, "The Father of Bluegrass Music," this group dazzles audiences with an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and heartfelt originals. Their airtight harmonies, razor-sharp arrangements, and on-stage rapport make them audience favorites across the United States and Canada. Their paths crossed through the music of Bill Monroe so they like to say they had a "Monroe Crossing." The group is made up of five very distinct personalities with differing musical backgrounds and tastes, combining for a very unique ensemble sound.
Thuringer Salonquintett
Sunday, February 17
4 p.m.
A chamber music ensemble committed to the wonderful central European tradition of light and entertaining music, the Thuringer Salonquintett transcends notions of "classical" and "popular" music, combining their impeccable, spontaneous musicality with fun and innovative programming. This combination of technical brilliance with light-hearted programming has guaranteed the quintet a growing audience all over the world. The quintet is comprised of the classic Kaffeehaus instrumentation of two violins (one doubling viola), cello, double bass, and piano.
This activity is made possible in part by a grant from the Southwest Minnesota Arts and Humanities Council (SMAHC) with funds appropriated by the State Legislature and/or by the Minnesota arts and cultural heritage fund as appropriated by the Minnesota State Legislature with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
All Marshall Concerts will be held at the Schwan Community Center for the Performing Arts at Marshall High School, 400 Tiger Dr., Marshall, MN
