Afficianados will be treated to a wide genre of music Sunday, when the Annie Moses Band comes to the Bowlus Fine Arts Center.
A captivating blend of folk and classical, the Annie Moses Band is a talented ensemble of songwriters, singers and musicians combining technical skill with exhilarating showmanship.
The band has performed multiple times on PBS, and been on stage at Carnegie Hall and the Grand Ole Opry.
Siblings Annie Wolaver Dupre and Alex and Ben began as the rhythm section under their father, Bill Wolaver, an accomplished composer in his own right.
The band was named after the trio’s great-grandmother, Annie Moses.
Other family members, Camille, Gretchen and Jeremiah joined soon thereafter.
The Annie Moses Band appeals to audiences young and old, classical connoisseurs and roots enthusiasts, jazz aficionados and bluegrass buffs.
Each summer the Annie Moses Foundation hosts the Fine Arts Summer Academy (FASA), an arts program for young performers held on the campus of Lipscomb University in Nashville, which offers training in orchestra, jazz band, woodwinds, musical theater arts (voice, dance, and drama), guitar, piano, harp and stage tech, with intensive studies in improvisation, music theory, classical technique, and bluegrass.
The event culminates in a syndicated telecast from WNPT-PBS of the FASA Young Artist Symphony at the Grand Ole Opry House. The Band’s musical education outreach continues at the Conservatory of Annie Moses, a musical academy where students can enroll in a variety of programs offering vocal, instrumental, composition, performance and music business tracks.
Tickets for the 3 p.m. show sell for $18 for orchestra seating and $15 for the balcony. Students will be seated for half price.
